Dance floors for a wedding or special event are typically rented by the section. Each section is either 3x3-feet, 3x4-feet or 4x4-feet. For indoor weddings, oak plank or wood parquet (geometric wood design) is a popular choice. Vinyl dance floors are also available for indoor use, and they come in all-white, all-black or a checkerboard pattern. Durable polypropylene dance floors are suitable for outdoor events, according to Rental HQ.
Typical costs: |
- For a 12x12 dance floor rental (generally recommended for a wedding with 100 guests), a typical price range is $215 to $325 depending on flooring type. Individual sections typically rent for $5 to $30 each.
- Wood parquet dance floor rental typically ranges from $215 to $250 for 100 guests at an indoor wedding. Each section may rent for anywhere from $5 to $16. A-1 Party Rental offers 3x3 wood parquet sections for $16, for example.
- Oak plank dance floor rental typically ranges from $250 to $325 for 100 guests at an indoor wedding. Individual sections typically cost $28 to $30. For example, Special Events of New England[1] rents 4x4 oak plank sections for $30 each.

What should be included: |
- Dance floor delivery, installation, breakdown and pick-up are typically included in the price quote. This is not always the case, so make sure to clarify this with potential vendors. Dance Deck provides typical installation times and instructions.
- Dance floor edging should be included to create the appearance of a finished edge.
- Weekend rental is common (vendor drops off Friday, picks up Monday), though couples should check with potential vendors to confirm weekend rates.
Additional costs: |
- A mirrored disco ball costs about $45 to rent.
- It is common for companies to charge a refundable damage waiver of $250 or 10% of the rental fee, which is due upfront as a deposit. This protects the company from missing or broken equipment and means a renter may need to pay to replace individual tiles that become damaged at the event.
- Liability insurance may be purchased at an additional cost, and will offer legal protection in case a guest decides to sue from an injury incurred on the dance floor. For $185, purchasers typically receive up to $1-million in liability coverage. For details, see How Much Does Wedding Insurance Cost.
Shopping for a dance floor: |
- When choosing which size of dance floor to order, consider how many couples will be dancing. Dance Deck[4] gives a helpful chart for estimating dance floor sizes and the number of guests who will likely dance.
- When renting a dance floor for an outdoor tent, be aware that many companies will only install a dance floor under tents they set up.
- Dance floor pole sections may be requested instead of regular sections, if the dance floor is positioned in the corner of a tent. This will ensure that the dance floor fits seamlessly around outdoor tent poles, and can help prevent injury.
- When comparing prices, try to imagine the dance floor as a whole. Because companies rent floor pieces of various sizes, ask for a price quote for the entire floor in the size needed, rather than per section.

| Type of Floor: LED Lit Dance Floor | Number of Guests: 65 |
| Size of Floor: 12x12 |
The LED Dance Floor was a huge hit and lit up the room itself. Guests, even ones who never seem to dance, couldn't resist dancing on the LED Floor. Pricey but well worth the experience and looked great in the photos! Recommended a friend who booked a 20x20 for their wedding in December and they say the same thing, the floor was awesome. |
