The Niall O'Leary Dance Troupe performed at my Wedding in October 2007 in New York City. They were amazing, having them as part of our day was so much fun, their performance ensured everyone was excited and ready to get on the dance floor. The day would not have been the same without them. A must have for every celebration.
