What Should Your Wedding Fireworks Display Cost?

A spectacular fireworks display is the perfect way to end your wedding day, but one of the most common questions couples ask is, “How much should we budget for our wedding fireworks display?”. The cost of a fireworks display varies upon several factors, including whether it is professionally fired or self-ignited, a pyromusic or a standard display and much more. At Rocketman, we offer flexible options to suit different budgets, ensuring you get the most dazzling display for your special day.
How Much Do Wedding Firework Displays Cost?
When planning a fireworks display for your wedding, the cost depends on the type of show you want. Here’s a breakdown of our pricing structure…
Professionally Fired Fireworks Displays
For couples looking for a breathtaking display handled by professionals, our professional displays start from £1000. This ensures a high-quality, choreographed show executed by our experienced pyrotechnicians.
- For fireworks displays, we recommend budgeting around £150 per minute, per firing location. For example, if you wanted 1 firing location for 5 minutes and 3 locations for an additional 2 minutes, we recommend a budget of at least £1650.
- The cost can fluctuate depending on the size and type of fireworks used. For example, if you wanted to have lots of 6” shells, the display will cost more than if you wanted 4” shells.
So, how can I manage my budget? Well, at Rocketman, we understand that not everybody is a firework expert who understands shell sizes and the difference between shells and compounds. To manage this, our team of professionals are great at matching a display to your budget available. You just give us as much or as little guidance as possible, and it’s our job to bring your vision to life!
A professional display offers a stress-free and memorable experience, making it a top choice for couples looking to wow their guests.
Self-Ignite Wedding Fireworks Displays
If your budget is under £1000, don’t worry – you can still have an incredible fireworks display! We offer self-ignite display packages using high-quality category 3 retail fireworks.
- With this option, we will design a display using a selection of the best retail fireworks, that you can ignite yourself!
- This is a cost-effective alternative, allowing you to control the show while still enjoying a spectacular wedding finale.
- Our team will guide you on safe setup and ignition practices to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.
Factors That Affect Your Wedding Firework Display Cost
There are several factors which play a part in how much your wedding fireworks display will cost. For example:
- Display Duration – The longer you want the display, the higher the cost. Most couples opt for somewhere between a 5 & 10 minute display, which balances both impact and affordability.
- Firework Types – If you are insisting on bigger shells and high-intensity effects, the display will cost more. A mix of shells, cakes and ground mines creates a visually stunning experience while not breaking the budget.
- Firing Locations – Multiple firing locations adds depth and dimension to a display, but with this comes with increase costs due to materials used and setup time.
- Special Effects – Flooding the scene recently are the use of pyromusicals, however, these synchronised displays come with an increase in costs. Alternatives include a standard fireworks display or a display with un-synchronised music.
How to Get the Best Wedding Fireworks for Your Budget?
Everyone wants to maximise the display they get for their budget, so here are a few tips on how you can do just that!
- Prioritize the Key Moments – If budget is a concern, opt for a shorter but more intense display, instead of a long, less dramatic show. Aim for closer to 5 minutes as opposed to 10.
- Choose a Single Firing Location – A one-location setup can still produce a breathtaking display, without increasing costs for multiple locations.
- Work With Experts – Our team at Rocketman can tailor a package that aligns with your budget and wedding vision. Speak to our expert team of pyrotechnicians today to start planning your display!
- Consider a Self-Ignite Display – If you want to save costs, but still have fireworks at your wedding, our retail display option is a great choice. Category 3 compounds are still impressive, but considerably cheaper than a pro-fired category 4 display.
