Production & effects

Each of these carries its own questions to decide, what to ask candidates, and when couples usually book — ready to drop into a connected plan.

• AV equipment rental

  Rented sound and visual gear you run yourselves — speakers, wireless mics, a projector and screen for a slideshow, uplighting kits.

• Cold spark machines

  Indoor-safe spark fountains for the entrance, first dance, or send-off.

• Fireworks

  A licensed display to end the night, with the permits and licensed operator a venue will ask for.

• Lighting design

  Event lighting — uplighting, string lights, spotlights, and effects.
