What Affects the Price?
Several factors can influence your final cost:
Number of guests
Size of dancefloor required
Venue access and setup times
Delivery and collection requirements
Optional extras such as entertainment or staging
"Being clear on these early helps avoid surprises later on".
Common Problems Couples Run Into
This is the part most companies don’t talk about — but it’s where things can go wrong fast. and My Event Hire are here to help
1. Underestimating Space, A dancefloor might sound big on paper, but once guests are on it, it can quickly feel overcrowded. if your unsure get yourself abit of masking tape and lay it out on the floor in home or in your garden, even better in the venue if you can.
2. Using Multiple Suppliers, Booking chairs, lighting, and dancefloors from different companies can lead to:
Delays
Miscommunication
Higher overall costs eg. transport no one wants to pay it 4-5 times because every supplier will likily charge one.
Not really being in control of what comes first.
3. Choosing Based on Price Alone, Lower prices can sometimes feel better but what they oftern mean:
Worn or lower-quality equipment
Poor presentation
Limited support on the day or thoughout your booking
No real customer service
4. Not Considering Delivery Timing, Delivery windows are crucial — especially when venues have tight schedules or turn around times.
DIY vs Hiring a Wedding Package
When planning your wedding, you’ll likely consider whether to organise everything yourself or choose a package.
DIY Setup
Can appear cheaper upfront
Requires significant time and coordination "some couples love this part"
Higher risk of issues on the day "will you be able to deal with them" will you have the time?
Professional Package
Everything planned together
One point of contact
Professional setup and support thoughout the planning stages and on the day.
Far less stress
For most weddings, a package offers better overall value — not just financially, but in time and peace of mind. one point of contact, one invoice, and someone who sorts it all out for you.
Which Wedding Package Is Right for You?
Here’s a simple way to decide:
Under 80 guests or a simple ceremony
→ Simple Ceremony Package
80–120 guests and a full-day wedding
→ Wow Factor Wedding Package
120+ guests or a bigger visual impact
→ All-In Wedding Experience
Honest advice:
Most couples regret not having enough time with each other on the day — very few regret creating a better experience for them selves in planning.
