This huge funky disco platform boot is one of the main scene-setting types of prop you can use - and, make sure like other props, it lights up and glows under uv lights (blacklights)

and this inflatable funky platform boot prop is even bigger!

How much would you expect to pay for this?

A full rig can cost anything upwards of £500 depending on location, venue size, degree of sumptuousness(!) required and number of guests.

You can usually rent individual props or groups of props for as little as £35 (plus delivery) per night. Your suppler should arrange delivery and collection afterwards - one more way they can help take the strain!

Will your special occasion benefit from the KayDeeElle themed event ideas generator? Of course it will!
