What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop us. We cover the product if there is a chance of rain, and we just need a small window to uncover and shoot the show.
We have yet to cancel a display due to rain. We just ask for your flexibility when shooting the display when rain is a possibility. We understand a wedding show is a once in a lifetime day and cannot be rescheduled, so we will do everything we can to make it special for your day.
What about a burn ban?
A burn ban does not prohibit the use of fireworks in a professional display.
All our displays are permitted through the local authority having jurisdiction over the location, which is typically the city or county fire marshal. Even during the more stringent burn bans, due to the abundant safety precautions we take, we often still get approval. If we need to have a fire truck on site, we will make that happen.
Ultimately it comes down to safety, we will not shoot a show unless the lead and the authority having jurisdiction feels it is safe. This is a call made at the time of the show.
What about the permit fees?
We itemize permit fees separately to save you money. We see permits range from zero to five hundred dollars for a single display. Every city and county handles firework permitting differently. The type of fireworks used may also affect permitting as we may need a permit from the state as well. We simply list the permit fees paid for transparency.
Can you shoot inside the city limits?
Yes we can. We are licensed, insured, and obtain all the necessary permits to legally conduct fireworks displays in city limits.
How far in advance should i book?
Do not wait until a few weeks out to book fireworks. At a very minimum we need a few weeks to secure the proper permits. Some places require permits to be requested at least 30 days from the event.
Also to be able to guarantee certain product for a show, we need to book at least four weeks to four months in advance.
