Planning guide
Planning your wedding fireworks
The whole journey from first enquiry to the sky lighting up, and how little of it you have to do yourself.
The timeline
From first enquiry to first burst
9 to 12 months out
Ask your venue about fireworks and get a quote. Peak summer Saturdays and New Year's Eve book earliest, and securing your date costs nothing but a conversation.
6 months out
Confirm the style, traditional finale or pyromusical. Pick your track if it's set to music, and choose any extras such as heart bursts, colour themes or the remote-trigger start.
3 months out
We finalise the site plan with your venue, covering firing positions, safety distances, curfew and any noise conditions. You don't need to do anything except approve the plan.
1 month out
Timings are locked into your running order with your coordinator. If neighbours need notifying, now's the moment. Your venue usually handles it, and we can help.
The day
Our crew arrives hours early and sets up discreetly. At the agreed moment, often straight after the first dance, the show begins.
The essentials
Four things worth knowing early
Timing & darkness
Fireworks need full darkness, which means around 10pm at midsummer and as early as 5pm in winter. Most venues have a curfew of 10pm or 11pm, and we design the running order around both.
Space
We fire a minimum of 50 metres from guests, buildings and roads. Most lawns, paddocks and golf courses qualify comfortably, and we confirm it with a site survey.
Weather
Rain doesn't stop a show, and displays look extraordinary through drizzle. Only dangerously strong wind towards guests can force a change, and we plan for that with the venue.
Safety & paperwork
Full risk assessment, insurance documents and an experienced, professional crew on every single show. Your venue gets everything it needs from us directly.
