Questions
What space is required for a firework display?
Minimum 50m from spectators with increased distances for larger shows, with full risk assessments conducted.
What are the benefits of computer-fired fireworks?
Multiple firing positions create more impressive displays with continuous effects rather than single firings.
How do weather conditions affect displays?
Wind direction determines feasibility but rain doesn't impact displays as fireworks function in wet weather.
Do you clean up after displays?
We clear all debris except minimal cardboard remnants that disappear naturally after site mowing.
Can displays be choreographed to music?
Yes, we specialise in pyromusicals with fireworks precisely synchronised to chosen music tracks.
How long should wedding displays last?
Optimal 3-8 minutes for weddings, with high-impact shorter displays creating greater impression than longer shows.
