How to get venue approval for wedding fireworks

Imagine your guests gathered on a balcony, gazing up at the beautiful bright sparks in the sky.
Without your wedding venue’s permission, this dream becomes impossible. Many venues have clear rules about accommodating fireworks displays; breaking policy could have serious consequences. Arrange your fireworks with confidence by getting venue approval first.

Wedding Venue Approval is Down to Policy

In almost every wedding venue, they have an existing policy on firework displays which will guide whether they grant you approval. This won’t be negotiable, so it’s important to check their policy when you book.

Many venues with ample outdoor space, such as racecourses, sports clubs, golf courses and former stately homes are happy to host wedding fireworks.

Whether a venue can approve fireworks is usually down to law, insurance and owner preferences. Here are some common restrictions venues may have:

• There won’t be any fireworks where the venue has no or little outdoor space, as it won’t be safe.
• Many venues do not allow guests to set off their own fireworks, as they are uninsured, so make sure you use professional fireworks organisers. 
• Some wedding venues only allow quiet fireworks to avoid disruption to the local environment. This is likely if it is in a built-up area or near a nature reserve.
  
  Note: We can convert all wedding fireworks packages to make less noise for free.

If fireworks are essential to your celebration, keep these things in mind when choosing your venue.

If you book a professional fireworks display without the permission of the venue, the display will unfortunately be cancelled.

1. Ask Your Venue Early

As soon as you start considering a firework display for a wedding, ask your venue if they’re allowed. The earlier you communicate with the venue, the better.

Some key questions to ask venues about fireworks include:

• “Do you allow fireworks?”
• “Do you have a fireworks policy?”
• “Have you hosted fireworks displays before?”
• “Do you have a preferred fireworks provider?”
• “Are there any special restrictions we should know?”

Get all the information as soon as possible. If fireworks are important to you, ask these questions to make sure you get a venue that allows fireworks. 

You and your venue should have shared expectations for the wedding reception, and early approval means your professional fireworks team can work efficiently.

2. Contact a Professional Wedding Fireworks Company

Once you’ve got approval you can go ahead and book your fireworks display. Choose a fully insured provider that showcases their training and expertise. It’s worth looking into the wedding fireworks cost before you decide.

We know there’s plenty to organise and manage when planning a wedding, so we try to take on as much of the work as possible. We liaise directly with your venue to organise site inspections, post-event clean-up and everything in between. 

Let us take the stress out of organising fireworks.

3. Finalise the Details

Once you’ve made your booking and informed the venue, you can start customising your display. Choose finale colours, additional features or upgrade to include music with your wedding fireworks with an unforgettable pyromusical. 

You can often dictate a fair amount of the detail to your firers. After all, it’s your wedding. Once you’ve finalised your display, you can get back to planning centrepieces and bridesmaid dresses. Stay in contact with the team and venue in the run-up to make sure everyone’s on the same page.

Get Venue Permissions Before You Book

We hate having to cancel bookings because the wedding venue won’t allow fireworks. It’s disappointing for us as a business, but it’s also disappointing for the client. It’s much better to get the venue’s permission before you make your booking.

Once you’ve got permission, choose your wedding fireworks display package, submit an enquiry or call us on 01332 650770.
