Our venue knowledge
Dance Floor Hire at Welcombe Hotel, Stratford-upon-Avon
The Welcombe Hotel offers two very different function rooms, each requiring its own approach when choosing the right dance floor.
Nestfield is located on the lower ground floor and feels more intimate than the hotel’s larger reception spaces. Although downstairs, the large arched windows and doors opening onto the grounds allow plenty of natural light into the room. We generally recommend lighter-coloured dance floors here to help brighten the space during the evening.
The Welcombe Suite is considerably larger, with higher ceilings and neutral décor. Although we’ve supplied 12′ × 12′ dance floors here previously, they always feel too small within the proportions of the room. A 16′ × 16′ dance floor creates a much better balance, while larger celebrations can comfortably accommodate a 20′ × 20′ floor.

Use this area to explain which finishes you have supplied here and why they work.
White starlit
Our most popular choice throughout The Welcombe. It works particularly well in Nestfield, helping brighten the room while creating a beautiful setting for your first dance.
Pure white
A fantastic alternative for couples wanting a contemporary finish without LED lighting. The clean white surface complements the hotel’s neutral décor and elegant styling.

Opposite the doors leading out to the grounds.

The top table is normally located in this position during the wedding breakfast. The DJ or band sets up where the top table has been.

First-hand experience
Knowledge that helps everything run smoothly
Although both rooms are within the same hotel, they create completely different atmospheres.
Nestfield benefits from lighter-coloured dance floors that help brighten the lower ground floor space, while the larger Welcombe Suite allows for bigger dance floors that better suit its higher ceilings and generous proportions.
Understanding how the top table, entertainment and dance floor work together in each room allows us to recommend layouts that not only look balanced but also maximise the available space for your guests.
If you’re celebrating in The Welcombe Suite, don’t be tempted by a 12′ × 12′ dance floor. Although it will fit, a 16′ × 16′ dance floor is far better suited to the size of the room and creates a much stronger focal point for your evening reception.
