Fireworks: a wedding guide

A fireworks team ends the night with a show.

When couples book this

Permits and licensed crews want real lead time. It moves with your date.

Still deciding the wedding

Your wishlist

Answer these before you meet anyone.

  • What scale are you picturing?

    Low-noise displays exist for venues with close neighbors or animals.

Comparing your options

What to ask each one

  • Licensed display operator?

    Real displays are a licensed trade — the operator carries the license and usually pulls the permit.

How it’s usually priced

Usually priced as one flat amount.

Possible extras: Permit fees.

Booked and settling details

What you settle once booked

  • Where does the permit stand?

    Local fire authority sign-off, usually filed by the operator — weeks of lead time in most places.

  • Has the venue approved a display?

  • When does the display fire?

    Fully dark and before the noise curfew — many couples pair it with the send-off.
