Wedding Extras

You may want a burst of fireworks happening whilst you enter the reception room or when you cut your wedding cake. Perhaps when you take each other onto the dance floor for that very first dance as husband & wife, a firework burst adds to the aesthetic and makes premium photography.
Electric Fireworks create stunning displays without the fire risks that may be of a concern with your venue. They are safe and risk free.

This is known as Dry Ice. You may have seen this at weddings or on television and movies. We can certainly arrange for the best quality Dry Ice effect and an operator to ensure that timing is spot-on for those extra special photos.
