Overcrowded

It could be fun, but they allowed way too many people to attend. The singer, Gary, was awesome, and the dancers were great! But, with 4 bridal parties and close to 75 people, it was much too big to handle. They did the best they could, but one of the bridal parties with 18 people were very rude to the entertainers and the other guests.
