Our display experts answer the most common questions from couples, venues, and event organisers.

As long as your venue has enough outdoor space and is happy to allow fireworks, we can usually make it work! Some venues have rules about noise, timings, or firing distances — but don’t worry, we’re used to working with all kinds of locations. We’re happy to speak directly with the venue to make sure everything is permitted and safe.
