Our top tips fireworks at your wedding

Many couples choose to have fireworks at their wedding, it’s a great way to entertain your guests and looks great in your photos and videos. Many leading wedding venues allow professional fireworks operators to fire on site, some hotels will only allow Pyrotechnics and Effects Ltd. and no other operators!

KEEP IT A SURPRISE

We have found that keeping the fireworks display as a surprise for your guests adds to the effect, the added element to your day keeps your guests talking

THINK ABOUT TIMING

Try to have your fireworks display at a moment that there would otherwise be a natural lull in the day, we have found that having the display after the meal, while the evening entertainment is setting up is the perfect time. That way, once the display is over your guests will be ready to party.

YOUR MUSIC CHOICE

Choose a song that means something special to both of you, or your family. The song chosen should also be upbeat with a constant rhythm – if you’re stuck for choice, don’t worry we’ll be able to suggest something for you.

Theatrical and close proximity pyrotechnics

Pyrotechnics and Effects Ltd. are specialists in providing close proximity and theatrical pyrotechnics for use indoors or outdoors. When working with close proximity, safety has to be much tighter and the tolerances which the pyrotechnics operate in are much stricter. With that in mind we only use theatrical products from two manifacturers, Wells Fireworks and Le Maitre as we feel these are the best products to keep performers and spectators safe.
