Sadly fireworks can be a costly added extra. Don’t get us wrong – they’re well worth the Disney-style magic they’ll bring to your event.

Venue Requirements
First things first. Check with your venue to find out if fireworks are an option at your chosen location. Council restrictions on noise and safety may come into play to see if fireworks are event legally possible. Fireworks make noise and take up space! Your venue will be your first point of call to see if they are aware if firework displays are permitted in your location.
Weather Factors
Weather plays a big part in a successful fireworks display. Rain and even wind can play havoc on the day. Check with your fireworks supplier at length to see what their policies are on last-minute cancellations due to weather. You may need to be ready to accept a loss if the fireworks display is unable to proceed due to weather. If fireworks are a big part of your entertainment, what will your Plan B be instead?
Colours
Now onto the fun part! Chat to your fireworks supplier about your options. Fireworks come in every colour of the rainbow! Imagine a display that complements your wedding theme or corporate colours. The sky is (literally) the limit! Colours also double with effects. Certain fireworks will offer certain colours or effects. Your supplier will be able to advise what is possible in regards to design and choreography.
Music
Does your firework supplier include music as part of your package? Will the music track play separately or will the fireworks be choreographed to the sound? This will all come down to the level of package you’ve hired and the customisable options available. Ask to see video samples of the various options so you can make an educated and budget-wise decision.
Timing
When will your display commence? How will guests be directed to the correct area? These questions will require coordinator between your venue coordinator and your fireworks supplier. Timing is everything and it takes time to move guests from one area to another. Make sure this time is factored into your timeline – the last thing you want is a fireworks display starting with no one to see it!
