Default PPR brides, anyone using $900 outside dance floor?

I am expecting about 50 guests. Im trying to determine if its worth it to pay $900 for the outside dance floor. Is anyone else doing this?

I was going to do the $900 dance floor because my reception is on the beach. I thought it might be too hard to dance in the sand and didn't want sand being kicked up at my guests. Do you know if lights are included with the dance floor?

Wow that's expensive guys! IMO dancing on the sand is feasible if you don't have the budget for the $900.

Danielle I doubt lights are included! They dont seem to want to give us anything for free.
And i do agree $900 is very expensive! especially for less than 50 guests who may not dance at all.

Yeah, i'm getting tired of paying for every little thing. When I first saw $900 I thought that was outrageous, but I think i'm becoming numb to the high prices.

Im becoming numb to the entire thing. I chose PPR because i was in love with the Chill Out Chic package. Now i dont even like it because the menu is not what i imagined. So im having to customize my wedding and reception and everytime i turn around there is another fee for something. Anyway if im going to spend $900 i think i would really need to more guests. after reading the posts of other brides venting about their guests backing out i expect my 50 people to be cut in half and the party will mainly be made of women so who are they gonna dance with anyway? LOL

I was supposed to have my wedding at PPR but I backed out (even after sending in my deposit) bc I realized it was just TOO expensive for the guests to stay there and I wouldnt have anyone go

wow, that is a lot...but possibly worth it? Dancing is a big party of your wedding and you don't want everyone to struggle with dancing and therefore not want to dance. Maybe see if any other brides had no dance floor and how they liked it.
