Some schools host their proms at hotel ballrooms, banquet halls, or other venues where weddings typically take place. The dance itself may have a band or DJ.  At prom, a meal may be served.

Some high schools allow only the graduating class (''seniors'') to have a prom. Some schools also allow grade 11 (''juniors'') to have a prom, and in some cases, there is a combined junior/senior prom. Some American high schools that do not allow school-sponsored dances will host a junior/senior prom as a banquet instead of a dance. Typically, students still dress in formal attire and attend as couples. In recent years, American teens have started asking celebrities or famous models to their proms.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://omg.yahoo.com/blogs/celeb-news/teen-invited-kate-upton-prom-gets-best-consolation-190927741.html |title=Teen Who Invited Kate Upton to Prom Gets Best Consolation Prize Ever |publisher=Omg.yahoo.com |date=2013-05-23 |access-date=2017-04-18}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.foxnews.com/us/teen-scores-nfl-star-as-prom-date-on-twitter/ |work=Fox News |title=Teen scores NFL star as prom date on Twitter |date=2012-05-13}}</ref>
