Can I Have Fireworks Outside the Marquee?
Yes! Fireworks can be a spectacular way to celebrate your special day and create unforgettable memories for you and your guests. There are just a few important safety requirements to be aware of.
The Key Requirement
- For health and safety and insurance purposes, fireworks must be situated 100 metres or more away from the marquee
- This distance ensures the safety of your guests and protects our equipment
- A professional fireworks company will be familiar with these requirements
Important: Please make sure your wedding insurance covers you for any damage that could be caused by fireworks.
Tips for a Great Fireworks Display
- Use a professional fireworks company – they'll handle all the safety requirements
- Consider the timing – after dark but before guests start to leave
- Let your guests know in advance so they can gather outside to watch
- Check with your venue about any additional restrictions they may have
- Consider neighbours and nearby livestock
Alternative Options
- Sparklers: A fun alternative for guests to enjoy (used safely away from the marquee canvas)
- Cold sparks: Indoor-safe spark machines that create a firework effect without the fire risk
- Confetti cannons: A colourful celebration moment (biodegradable confetti only inside the marquee)
