Fireworks at Your Home Wedding

Fireworks are such a fun thing to have at your home wedding. Depending on your neighborhood and the size of the property, you might consider having fireworks at your wedding!

It’s not as expensive as you might think. A fireworks show of three to five minutes in length is all that you really need, and that might cost about two thousand dollars per minute. A fireworks show that has to be shot from a barge on a body of water will bemuch more expensive than one on land. If your budget permits, it is a fun and exciting addition to any wedding.

Always hire an experienced fireworks professional and make sure your contract requires them to obtain all necessary permits. Be certain that the fireworks are scheduled for a time when it will be completely dark, and that your guests have easy access to view them. And, most importantly, try to keep it a surprise!

You may have to loop in your local fire department, and they may send out a truck/team to supervise the show. Be sure to abide by local noise ordinances when you do the show, You might need to allow for extra time to refire any duds before the noise ordinance kicks in.

You should warn your neighbors about the fireworks, as they might have animals that they will want to manage during the show.
