Staging a wedding is stressful, especially for a professional planner. Wedding planners are tasked with the challenge of making dreams come true on one of the most important days in two peoples lives. There are so many details that must be attended to and so many people to rely on to make it happen. While the wedding itself is often a mixture of pageantry, whimsy, and tradition, the real drama can sometimes take place behind the scenes. Wedding planners have to be logistical wizards. They must mesh the services of multiple vendors and attend to intricate details with each one, all while adhering to the happy couples vision and budget for their perfect day. Caterers, musicians, event location staff, transportation service, and florists are just a few of the service providers involved in the big event. Each vendor must deliver impeccable, error-free service, on time and in the right place. One often overlooked detail that is key to a trouble-free wedding party is the dance floor. Imagine for a moment that you have attended to every detail and wish of the bride and groom. You found a florist who had the right shade of roses to match the brides eye shadow, the baker has re-created the Eiffel Tower in excruciating detail, and the happy couple will say I Do just as the sun sets over the horizon. The big day arrives, you run through your final checklist, and you allow yourself a small sigh of relief when you verify everything is on track. The wedding has gone exactly as planned and the reception is now in full swing. You finally allow yourself to breathe normally as you watch the guests happily dancing on the beautiful wood floor. Then, as you turn to check in with the bartender, you hear a shriek and a loud commotion. The brides Aunt Sally has fallen on the dance floor. You rush over to help and see that one of the seams in the floor has come apart. Aunt Sally tripped, fell, and broke her hip! If Aunt Sally had been dancing on a Master Portable Floor, you would have ended your night pleasantly rather than in the emergency room. There is no greater nightmare than an accident at what has otherwise been a perfect and enjoyable event. An accident not only has emotional consequences but financial ones as well. Risk management is an important part of business. You want to eliminate or minimize risks through careful planning. While you cannot prevent someone from falling because they have imbibed a little too much champagne, you can certainly avoid being liable for a fall because of faulty flooring. Portable floors are a convenient and beautiful solution for a wedding. A portable floor can turn a simple lawn into a swinging disco. Hardwood floors lend just the right touch to an elegant or casual event. However, not all floors are created equal, and making the wrong choice could ruin your event. Some floors have been known to simply come apart with the movement caused by dancing, just like it did for poor fictional Aunt Sally. Borders that rise above the panel surface are another common problem in portable flooring. These borders are often metal and enclose each individual floor panel. Even if it is only slightly above the panel, it is enough to catch a heel and cause injury. In addition to avoiding the hazards of a bad floor, you also want comfort. Dancing on a rigid, inflexible floor is stressful on the body, particularly hips and joints. The floor should have a bit of spring for maximum comfort. Finally, the type of wood also makes a big difference in a floor. Many floors are made with oak. Oak is beautiful but does not make a good choice for portable flooring. It has large pores where dirt and grime can collect, causing the floor to become rough. Dancing on a rough floor is not only unpleasant but also hazardous. Master Portable Floors are floors made for safe dancing. The floors are made with hardwood maple, which has a smooth, tight grain and tiny pores so the finish does not become rough. Maple is also durable so the floors last a long time. Master Portable Floors have a patented connector plate which holds the floor in place so they do not separate or walk. The floors also do not have any sharp edges, or exposed metal. An extra advantage is the unique flexing action. Each panel has been engineered with a flex action. The floor gives just enough and springs back and makes you feel like you are gliding on air. With a Master Portable Floor, wedding guests can dance in comfort and safety. We cant guarantee that our floors will make you a better dancer, but we can guarantee that you wont find a safer or more comfortable floor! This article was contributed by Master Portable Floors.
