When the speeches are finished and the formalities wrap up, the dance floor becomes the heart of your event. At Party Hire Group, we offer quality dance floor hire services across Sydney and Melbourne. Our specialist crew takes care of delivery, professional installation and post-event pack-down. If you have a venue with strict bump-out requirements, we also offer same-night collections.
White Gloss Dance Floor Hire
For ultimate elegance and sophistication, our white gloss dance floors add a stunning touch of modern glamour to your special day. The polished, reflective surface catches your venue’s lighting beautifully, making it an absolute favourite for wedding receptions. Its clean white finish is also synonymous with the white feel of wedding events.
- Custom configurations: built using modular 1.2m x 1.2m panels, we can build a dance floor to any size you like.
- Designed for safety: all dance floor panels securely lock together using a specialised screw-in system, ensuring the structure remains seamless and does not come apart while your guests are dancing on it.
- Immaculate presentation: each panel is washed and polished before arriving at your venue, ensuring a pristine finish for your first dance. Our team will also wipe it down again once installed in case of any fingerprints or shoe marks.
Note: Our white poly gloss flooring is strictly for indoor use and must be installed on level, flat ground.
Parquetry Dance Floor Hire
If you are looking for a classic aesthetic, the timber parquetry dance floor is the ideal choice. It creates a warm look and is suitable for weddings, corporate events, awards nights, general parties and birthdays.
- Premium finish: made from real timber pieces set in a tile format, beautifully framed with a sleek gold trim edge finish that locks securely underneath.
- Tailored sizes: we can build to any size you require, based on the room shape and guest numbers.
All dance floors are installed on site by our specialist crew. Same-night collections are available should your venue require the floor to be removed on the same night.
Note: To ensure structural integrity, our parquetry floors are suitable for indoor use only on a flat, level surface.
Booking & Installation Requirements
To ensure a seamless setup on the day of your event, please keep the following requirements in mind when booking your dance floor.
- Indoor setup only: both our white gloss and timber parquetry floors are designed exclusively for indoor environments. Rain will cause the timber to swell and expand, making the surface uneven. If the floor gets wet, it can also become slippery, especially the white gloss dance floor. Setups in marquees are fine, provided the roof is covered and walls are installed near where the floor is being set up.
- Level ground: a completely level, flat surface is required for our heavy-duty locking systems to function properly and ensure a trip-free surface. Uneven ground does not allow the panels to lock in, which may cause them to come apart when people are dancing on them.
- Stress-free logistics: our specialist dance floor crew handles the entire build and dismantling process directly on site, and our office team will coordinate times for bump-in and bump-out that align with your venue or private event timeline.

Dance Floor Hire FAQs
How do I work out what size dance floor I need for my event?
Our dance floor panels are approximately 1.2m square. As a general guide, each panel is suitable for around two people to dance on at one time.
Typically, around 30–60% of guests will use the dance floor at any given time. For example, with a wedding of 150 guests, you could expect around 45–90 guests to be dancing at once. In this scenario, a 7.2m x 7.2m dance floor would hold around 90 people. If you want to be safe, or you know your crowd is likely to dance a lot, it is always better to go slightly larger rather than smaller. In this case, we would usually suggest 8.4m x 8.4m.
| Guest numbers | Suggested dance floor size |
|---|---|
| 50 guests | 4.8m x 4.8m |
| 75 guests | 6m x 6m |
| 100 guests | 7.2m x 7.2m |
| 150 guests | 8.4m x 8.4m |
| 200 guests | 9.6m x 9.6m |
Can the dance floor be built on uneven ground?
No, the floor underneath needs to be level. Our panels have a locking mechanism to ensure they do not come apart under heavy activity, and this can only be engaged properly if the ground is level.
Are the dance floors able to be set up on carpet?
Yes, provided it is a relatively firm surface and does not bounce a lot.
Do you allow dance floors to be built outside?
In most cases, no, unless the area is properly covered. If you have a covered marquee, garage or pergola, we may be able to build the dance floor there. It cannot be set up in an open area exposed to rain and cannot be built on grass.
How long does it take to build the dance floor?
The time taken varies based on a few factors, with the size of the dance floor being the biggest one. The larger the floor, the more labour is involved to assemble it.
If access is good and the team can trolley pieces in, they can usually bring in five pieces at a time and build around 6 square metres in about 10 minutes. As a guide, if you have a 60 square metre dance floor, allow around one hour. Smaller dance floors might only take 30–45 minutes to build, while larger ones could take up to 1.5 hours.
Can we install the dance floors ourselves?
Unfortunately, we do not allow this. We use our own qualified installers who know the correct way to build the floor and make sure all panels are locked in properly for the safety and peace of mind of your guests.
Are high heels allowed?
Yes, the floors are robust and designed for heels and heavy foot traffic. The pieces are level and lock together, which also helps prevent tripping hazards.
How much does it cost to hire a dance floor?
The cost varies depending on the dimensions of the floor, the style you choose, the venue access requirements and the location. Every event space is different. Some have stairs, others have loading docks, some have level entry and easy access, and others do not.
The times we need to build and collect the floor can also affect delivery and labour pricing. If the dance floor needs to be picked up the same night, this can increase the cost. Please contact us for a customised quote.
