Dance Floor Cost

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.
• Vinyl dance floor rental typically ranges from $250 to $325 for 100 guests at an indoor wedding. Each section may cost $19 to $27. Special Events of New England^[2] rents 3x4 black or white vinyl sections for $30 each.
• Outdoor dance floor rental typically costs $300 for 100 guests. At Deejay's Event Rentals^[3] , a 4x4 section of flooring costs $32.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
