What is the floor like? Hardwood, tile, or carpet?
If it is carpet I would say invest in the dancefloor, if it is a hard floor I would say leave it as is!
depends on the space, like FMM said above.. if it's already hard, don't worry about it! maybe get a big ol' dance floor decal? or do something to make the space special, like lighting. You can come in way under 500 with those things and it'd look just as cool.
There's my issue, the room is carpeted. It's not padded underneath so it's pretty hard, but carpeted nontheless!
$600 is soooo much... and I can't bring myself to ask my already strung out mother to spend another penny. Maybe I'll have to convince Fi... hmmm
How important is dancing to the success of your wedding? If you're envisioning a packed dance party, then I say go for it. It is harder to dance on carpet, so fewer people might do it. I think some of the venues I looked at with carpet actually required you to have a dance floor.
If it's just for your first dance, then you probably don't need one.
I think it depends on your budget. If you're total budget is $1k-$2k, then I think it's too much too spend. If your total budget is higher, then it's not unreasonable, but still unnecessary. We danced on carpet for our first dance, and NO ONE was looking at the floor. It wasn't hard to dance on, and we don't regret foregoing the dance floor AT ALL. It really is just one of those things you convince yourself you "need" but in the end, all you "need" is space to dance!
I say get a dance floor. Its not TOOO much $$ and it will look alot better!
I would get the floor if you plan on dancing all night. For one dance, not worth it but if your guests will be dancing for a few hours you might want to consider it - you don't want all that static electricity either, people dancing around shocking each other, LOL!
Oh now I can't decide!! LOL! I emailed the vendor and asked if he would be willing to negotiate. Cross your fingers!
If the floor is a hard surface, why pay for another floor? sounds like a waste of money! i never even thoughtof renting one. i thought those rentals were for outdoor weddings mainly.
We have to pay $300 to rent our dance floor. I would suggest you get it because the floor is carpeted. Hopefully they give you a deal.
If you really want one and can afford it, then go for it. If it would be a budget buster, I would advise against.
@kcasam - the floor is carpeted but not padded (if that makes sense) so on one hand, most wouldn't notice really but I'm the fourth cousing to get married in a two year period and think some would really wonder why I didn't have one... I don't know what to do!
I think visually, it would look nicer with a dance floor, plus it'll help to guide people along. But, if there's music and people want to dance, they'll dance. A carpet on the floor certainly wouldn't stop me!
First, I want to commend you for having everything done for your May wedding. My 'To Do' list is SO long and I'm so stressed! However about the dance floor, I think $500-$600 is too much for a dance floor! Depending on the floor, you should be able to get away with not having a dance floor. As long as you have an open space for dancing, I'm sure your guests won't know the difference!
I would go with the dance floor, but try to negotiate the price down - that does seem high. Maybe you could get some sort of break if you (or someone you delegate) actually picked it up and set it up, torn it down and returned it - rather than the company coming out to do it.
I put yes, but not necessarily for the ambiance.... more so for the comfort of your guests. Carpet is carpet no matter how "thin." It will be more pleasureable for them on a dance floor.
We are not having one, because we don't have carpet.
We don't have a "dance floor" for 6 months I was under the assumption that it came with the hall were renting because it didn't say ANY differently on the website, etc. Well, come to find out about a month ago I found out it would $500 EXTRA to put the dance floor down - so I said screw it. They can dance on carpet, if people care that much then..well, not my problem

All my wedding planning is done. Favors are bagged, programs are being printed. But I cannot get the idea out of my head that I HAVE to have a dance floor. We didn't get one because we said, why? The room is big enough... put some tables around the edge of the room, and call it a party. But the more I envision my first dance, I really would love to have one... what to do? I looked into renting one, since my space doesn't offer one, and it would be $500-600 dollars (!)
