Our Full Portfolio of Wedding Fireworks Displays Services
No two weddings are the same, and neither are the displays we design for them. A backyard ceremony for 40 guests calls for something very different to a 300-person reception at a waterfront venue, which is why our wedding fireworks display packages span everything from intimate indoor effects to full aerial finales. The right format for your day will depend on your venue, your guest count, and the moments you most want to highlight.
1. Aerial Fireworks Displays
Large-scale displays launched from ground-level mortar tubes, bursting at 50–200 metres. Best suited to outdoor venues with 100–200 metres of clearance.
2. Indoor Cold Spark Machines
Electronically controlled machines producing fountain-like sparks of 1 to 5 metres in height using titanium alloy. Zero heat, zero smoke, zero debris, which makes them the safest option when you hire a cold spark machine for an indoor reception.
3. Wedding Fireworks Sparklers and Send-Offs
Handheld sparklers (45 to 90 cm) used for guest-participation send-off tunnels, supervised by a licensed operator on-site. Wedding fireworks sparklers create striking photo opportunities as the couple exits through a corridor of light.
4. Special Effects: Dry Ice, CO2 Cannons, and Confetti
Complementary effects that combine with any fireworks display type. Dry ice creates a low-lying "dancing on clouds" fog for the first dance, CO2 cannons produce dramatic white vapour bursts up to 8 metres, and confetti cannons add colour in custom wedding palette shades.
5. Waterfall and Fountain Effects
Cascading curtains of sparks suspended from beams, archways, or purpose-built frames, creating a shimmering backdrop for the first dance or bridal table reveal. Available in both indoor (cold spark) and outdoor versions.
6. Choreographed Pyromusicals
Fireworks fully synchronised to music via computerised firing systems, with every burst timed to the beat and melody. This is our most premium option, requiring 50 to 200+ individual firing cues per display.

5 Best Moments For A Wedding Fireworks Display
The right wedding fireworks display package isn’t about having the biggest show. It’s about timing the right effect to the right moment so the night builds toward something unforgettable. These are the five moments couples most often choose to highlight.
- Grand entrance: Cold spark machines positioned on either side of the reception entrance create a glittering archway as the newlyweds walk in for the first time. It sets the tone for the entire evening and gives your photographer and videographer a guaranteed money shot within the first 60 seconds of the reception.
- First dance: Indoor cold sparks combined with low-lying dry-ice fog create the now-iconic “dancing on clouds” effect, where the couple appears to float through a shimmer of light. It transforms a quiet, intimate moment into something genuinely cinematic without overwhelming the song or the room.
- Cake cutting: A short, cold spark burst fired behind the couple as the knife touches the cake, adding a moment of drama to what is traditionally a fairly static photo opportunity. It’s brief, photogenic, and works in almost any reception venue.
- Reception finale: A full aerial display launched from outside the venue serves as the night’s defining high point and signals to guests that the celebration is reaching its peak. Best suited to outdoor or waterfront venues with the clearance required for ground-launched shells.
- Sparkler send-off: As the night winds down, guests form two lines holding lit sparklers, and the couple walks through the corridor of light toward their exit car. It’s the final image of the wedding for most guests and one of the most photographed moments of the entire day.
