A burn ban does not prohibit the use of fireworks in a professional display.

All our displays are permitted through the local authority having jurisdiction over the location, which is typically the city or county fire marshal. Even during the more stringent burn bans, due to the abundant safety precautions we take, we often still get approval to shoot the show. If we need to have a fire truck on site, we will make that happen.

Ultimately it comes down to safety. We will not shoot a show unless the lead feels it is safe. This is a call made at the time of the show, and the decision always has safety as the priority.

Outdoor toasts and speeches work great. Fireworks also work great as a kick-off for the dance party.

We can do displays at the end as a grand send off, but always feel bad when the guest count has dwindled so low and only a few people get to see the show. It is your wedding night and your choice, but our recommendation is to have the fireworks earlier in the night - and then sparkler fountains or a mini low-effects show at the exit.

We itemize permit fees separately to save you money. We see permits range from zero to five hundred dollars for a single display.

Every city and county handles firework permitting differently. The type of fireworks used may also affect permitting as we may need a permit from the state as well. We simply list the permit fees paid for transparency.

Yes, we can. We are licensed, insured, and obtain all the necessary permits to legally conduct fireworks displays in city limits. We have conducted displays in city limits of just about every major city in the DFW area.

Spacing depends on how big of a firework you want. For traditional aerial fireworks, the state requires a minimum of 70 feet of distance between the audience and the firing site, per inch of the shell. We also look at things like trees, power lines, and surrounding conditions to determine the best shooting location.

For venues with tight spacing, we can use special fireworks designed to be used in close relation to the audience. These fireworks are limited in effects and size, but we need much less space. We have conducted displays using these products in downtown areas from a small parking lot.

Height and size of the break is mostly determined by the size of the shell. Our “Classic” level of fireworks break between 150–300 feet in the air. The “Premium” level of fireworks typically break between 250–600 feet in the air.

We also utilize lower level effects that go from 5–100 feet but do not break. We customize shows for each location to produce the best possible show.

Do not wait until a few weeks out to book fireworks. At a minimum, we need a few weeks to secure the proper permits. In some communities it is required to request permits at least 30 days from the event.

To be able to guarantee a certain product for a show, we need to book at least 3 months to a year in advance. Larger shows require longer lead times.
