Fireworks & Outdoor Weddings: Everything you need to know
Outdoor weddings surround your celebration with natural beauty. Birds singing, wildflowers and blossoming hedgerows add a country charm that no table settings can recreate. But when night falls and the party is in full swing, your reception may feel confined to a marquee.
Fireworks invite your guests out into the open air again, creating a communal moment under the stars. Here we’ll run through the key considerations when planning fireworks for an outdoor wedding, so you can feel confident that you’ve covered all bases. We’ll discuss personalisation, budgeting, and venue permissions.
Does my wedding venue allow fireworks?
This is the most important question when you’re planning wedding fireworks, and one your venue can answer easily for you. Most wedding venues have a fireworks policy, and this is the first thing to check before you book a fireworks display.
For outdoor weddings, there is usually plenty of space to accommodate the marquee, dancefloor and a fireworks display. Professional displays require a safe firing zone, a drop zone and a spectator area, so consider how much room is available.
If you haven’t chosen a venue yet, and you know you want to use fireworks, ask when first making enquiries. Prioritise venues with plenty of outdoor space.
Tip: Wedding venue directories such as Hitched or CoCo Wedding Venues allow you to filter searches by whether the venue allows fireworks.
Finally, if your outdoor wedding will be on private land, such as fields or a large estate, you may be able to accommodate a firework display. As professional firework display organisers, we conduct site surveys and liaise with local authorities to ensure your display meets all requirements.
Are wedding fireworks expensive?
Generally, the longer the display, the more it will cost. We have a range of wedding fireworks packages starting at £950, with scope for adding extras to personalise your display. We break down these costs in more detail in our blog: How much are fireworks for a wedding?

Legal Considerations & Safety
Local bylaws and landowner permissions may have an impact on whether you can celebrate with fireworks. It is worth checking with your local authority to determine the restrictions in your area.
