You have a variety of dance floor options to suit any theme for your event.  Typically, the more guests coming to your event, the larger the dance floor you will need, which will also impact pricing obviously.

How big of a dance floor do I need for my event?

Take into consideration the type of your event will also impact the size of the dance floor you need.  What percentage of your guests will be on the dance floor at any given time?  For example, 100-guest 18th birthday party which is predominantly a music-led event, will require a larger dance floor than 100-guest wedding, as not everybody going to a wedding will be dancing at any given point.

As a general rule I would advise that 30% of your guestlist would be dancing at any one time.  Here’s a handy chart to give you an idea of what size dance floor you will need for your event.

Types of Dance floor

Black & White Dance floor

The more cost-effective style of dance floor would be a black-and-white checkered dance floor.  The timeless look suits all events and tends to be the most cost-effective solution for a dance floor. Expect to pay around £250 for a four meter by four meter black-and-white dance floor, which is good enough for a hundred guests.

Parquet Wooden Dance floor

If your event has a more rustic feel to it, you may prefer a wooden parquet dance floor option, which is roughly the same hire cost of a black-and-white checkered dance floor.

White LED Dance floor

A white LED dance floor is perfect floor for weddings, as the first dance images always look incredible on a white LED dance floor.  These work perfectly for weddings and also in marquees with transparent roofs too.  These style of dance floors tend to work out around double the cost of a black & white dance floor

Black LED Dance floor

Black LED dance floors are perfect for nightclub-style themed parties, as well as birthday parties.  They offer an alternative look to the standard black-and-white checkered theme and are slightly more expensive than white LED dance floors as they are a little rarer.
