How To: Choose a Dancefloor for Your Event.
A commonly asked question we get frequently here at Hireall.ie is, how do I choose a dancefloor? Whether you're planning your wedding, a party or other special occasion and want to hire a dancefloor to accommodate all of your guests, you may be unsure of where to begin.
There are a few important questions we ask any customer looking to hire a dancefloor:
- How many guests are you expecting?
- What’s your budget?
- What does your venue space look like?
- What is the colour Scheme & Style of Room?
Firstly, you should consider the number of guests you have invited. From there you will be able to work out the size of dancefloor that you need to rent. Dancefloors are hired in panels so you can hire as big or as small a dancefloor to accommodate your guests.
A dancefloor size of 12ft x 12ft will accommodate 80 -100 people.
Here is our handy guide which will help you to work out what size dancefloor you will need to rent for the number of people attending your event

Secondly, what’s your budget? We have a range of dancefloors to choose from and to suit a variety of budgets, so you should ideally have a budget in mind to help narrow things down.
Thirdly, how much space do you have in your marquee or venue?
This is a very important factor. Your dancefloor should fit well within the parameters of the venue space. You don’t want your dancefloor to take up too much space and equally, you don’t want a tiny dancefloor at the end of a large hotel ballroom.
Your colour scheme may dictate the colour of the dancefloor you hire. If you are having a classic white wedding, then our classic white dancefloor is ideal. For a more traditional look, you might want to hire our Parquet, Brown Mahogany dance floor. The colour palette and style of the room might also influence your choice.
We have three different colours dancefloors available for hire.
And why not check out our range of Lighting, including the LED Uplighters - Set of 4 or our GLOBE LIGHT - 800mm (Wireless) ?
