We didn't use the dancefloor (we had Natalia light up 3 palm trees with christmas lights and hung up chinese lanterns) and had our dance on the beach. It was so romantic and so relaxed...I grew up on the beach and it TOTALLY felt like a beach party!! I would NOT get the dance floor unless you're planning to bust a move

Oh Beth, thanks for your sweet compliments! As Beth K mentioned we used Vincent from del Sol....and they were just names Top 10 North American Photographers for 2009!!! I sooo very highly recommend Vincent, any questions let me know...he was soooo reasonable priced and worth every penny. I did a TON of research before selecting him and I wouldn't change a thing

Thanks again!

The lights around the palm trees were provided by DT (no charge). We brought the lanters with us (simply went to Chinatown and bought them for $2 a piece). We made the lights for the lanterns with the instructions from this site and bought the components on ebay. Soooo easy to make and soooooo much cheaper than buying premade lanterns!
LED Throwies

Here are a few more pics of our dance "floor" again, I wouldn't change a thing! DT positioned some of the lights from the Seaside Grill that provided some additional spot lighting as well. Sorry about the quality of the photos they were taken with my brother's blackberry..but they give you an idea.
