A great DJ is just the beginning. Here's everything else DSM Dance Party DJs brings to your event—and what it actually costs.
Most people book a DJ and call it done. But the events people talk about for years — the ones guests relive on the drive home and still mention six months later — almost always had something extra.
DSM Dance Party DJs isn't just a DJ company. We're a full-service event production team. Beyond the music, we offer dance floors, lighting, special effects, decor, interactive experiences, and professional production support that transform any venue into something guests didn't expect.
Here's every add-on we offer — what it is, what it costs, and which events it's best for. No vague pricing. No "contact us for a quote" runarounds on the basics. Just the real information you need to plan your event.
Please refer to the website for the most accurate, up-to-date pricing at the links below.
JUMP TO AN ADD-ON
Dance Floors — Define the Space Before Anyone Arrives
The dance floor is the centerpiece of your event. Before the first song plays, it's already making a statement. DSM Dance Party DJs offers six dance floor styles plus custom vinyl wrap and decal options — each one designed for a different aesthetic and event type.
All floors are made from premium-grade, durable vinyl with a matte, non-slip finish. Setup typically requires a day before or day-of early setup. Our team handles everything — installation, removal, and restoration of your venue floor after the event.
All floors can be used outdoors but require a level, stable surface. A subfloor may be needed for uneven ground. No additional charge for setup and teardown within 30 minutes of Des Moines — a travel fee applies beyond that.
LED Dance Floor
The most dramatic floor in our lineup. Vibrant colors, shifting patterns, and dazzling light effects that react to your event. Available for indoor or outdoor use under a tented area.

Special Effects — The Moments Nobody Expects
Special effects are the moments that make guests gasp.
