An idea we love: The downsized dance floor

After getting engaged in July, Eliza Strickland and Allen Peacock knew right away they were ready to get married—and they didn’t want to postpone plans due to COVID restrictions. So Strickland asked a close friend, Sally Branch, to help her create an intimate wedding. 

“We knew we wanted to keep all the traditional elements of a wedding, just on a smaller scale,” Eliza says. That meant downsizing a few key things. That’s when they came up with a “first dance” floor. And having hired Aztec Rentals for their clear tent (to drink in the view at their venue, Oakley Farm), they asked the company to make it happen.

“When Sally called with the idea of a 6′ x 6′ dance floor, they had a good laugh and said it was the smallest dance floor they had ever done,” Eliza says. But the addition was a hit with their 28 guests. 

Says the bride, “It was the perfect spot for our first dances, photo booth fun, and dancing until the generator cut off.”
