Fireworks Show

Want to add a little wow factor to your wedding? You can’t go past fireworks. Yes, fireworks! Depending on the time of day and the season, a fireworks display can be incorporated into your celebrations for some serious pizzazz.

Are wedding fireworks expensive?
Although the old saying ‘you get what you pay for’ does ring true when it comes to fireworks, professional wedding firework displays are more affordable today than ever before.

There are, however, various factors that will affect the price of your firework display:

The length of the display
The longer the firework display the more expensive it will be.

Remember also that, though guests will enjoy watching a firework display, it will lose its impact after a short period and, no matter how spectacular your display, guests will want to return to eating, drinking, dancing, or chatting.

A display of five to 10 minutes will be enough to delight your guests without costing a fortune. It’s better to have a short, high-quality display than a longer one with fewer simultaneous sequences.


Wedding Fireworks : alternatives and extra surprises

Indoor Fireworks
You may think that you need an outdoor venue and a dark night sky to include fireworks in your wedding, but it is possible to have limited indoor fireworks, such as silver fountains in the center of the tables. Always check with the venue before you book these.

Low-Noise Fireworks
If your venue has noise restrictions, or you just don’t like the noise associated with fireworks, it is possible to create ‘quiet’ fireworks displays designed. Again, check with your fireworks supplier whether they are able to do this, but many will be able to accommodate.

Fire Writing
If you’re looking for something a little different, but still in the fireworks arena – or as a highlight during your fireworks display – a fun alternative is fire writing. It can be a lovely touch to have you and your spouse’s names or initials are written in jets of fire, either side of a flaming heart, in the sky!

Surprise Fireworks
Wedding firework displays are often booked as a surprise for the couple, perhaps by a close friend or relative. Most pyrotechnic companies will work with the venue to stage a surprise display and will use unmarked vehicles when setting up, so if you’ve got surprise fireworks in mind, either for a couple or for your new spouse, be sure to mention this to your supplier – so they don’t blow the surprise.
