Cheshire Dancefloor Size Guide for 60–200 Guests
Cheshire Wedding Dancefloor Size Guide: 60–200 Guests
A practical guide to sizing your dancefloor for real wedding energy — plus the best floor types (LED, chequered, parquet, and 3D Infinity) across Cheshire and Manchester.
Quick answer: size to the peak moment
The most common mistake is sizing the floor to the total guest count. Better rule: size it to the peak dancing moment (usually after the first dance when the room heats up).
- 📏 Plan for peak dancers
- 🟦 Square vs rectangle depends on the room
- 🎛️ DJ position affects layout
- 🪩 Floor type changes the vibe
- 🚪 Access + timings affect setup
- 📸 Think photos + video angles
Cheshire-based, working across Manchester & the UK
Most weddings we install are in Cheshire venues — but we’re in Manchester constantly too. For coverage, see Areas We Cover, and our location hubs: Cheshire Events and Manchester Events.
Recommended sizes for 60–200 guests
These are strong starting points — not rigid rules. The right size depends on room shape, where tables sit, and how “dance-heavy” your crowd is. Share your venue + guest count and we’ll recommend properly.

Square vs rectangle: which layout is best?
Square floors are the safest choice for weddings: they photograph well from every angle and feel central. Rectangles shine in long rooms or where the DJ/stage is locked to one end.
- 🟦 Square = central energy
- 📐 Rectangle = long room fit
- 🎛️ DJ booth line matters
- 🚶 Leave routes to toilets/bar

Venue access + timing basics
The smoothest installs happen when the venue plan is clear: load-in route, access time, and what time the room must be “perfect”. That’s the difference between calm and chaos.
- 🚪 Loading bay / access door
- 🛗 Lifts / stairs / distance
- ⏱️ Set time + hard cut-off
- 🔌 Power location + sockets
- 🪑 Room flip timing
If you’re booking music as well, pairing the floor with Event DJs makes the flow cleaner (entrances, first dance, pacing, and peak moments).
What affects pricing (without the vague nonsense)
We don’t publish one fixed price because the real drivers are practical: location, size, timings, and staffing. Share your venue + date + guest count and we’ll quote accurately.
- 📍 Location (Cheshire / Manchester / UK)
- 📏 Size + layout
- ⏱️ Install + pack-down window
- 🧰 Crew + support requirements
- 🚪 Access complexity

FAQs
What size dancefloor do I need for 100 wedding guests?
A common starting point is around 16×16 ft, but it depends on the room plan and how many guests you expect to dance at peak time.
Does it matter if not everyone dances?
Yes. We size for the peak dancers, not the total guest list. A lively crowd needs more space than a dinner-led wedding.
Square or rectangle — which looks better?
Squares are the safest for weddings because they photograph well from multiple angles. Rectangles suit long rooms or stage-aligned setups.
Which floor type is best for Cheshire weddings?
White LED is the classic wedding look, parquet is timeless, chequered brings party energy, black LED feels modern, and 3D Infinity is the headline “wow” feature.
Do you cover Manchester as well as Cheshire?
Yes. We’re Cheshire-based and install across Manchester and UK-wide dates. Check Areas We Cover, then send your venue + timings for a recommendation.
Do you publish fixed prices?
