Planning SOS How to organise your dream wedding THE WOW FACTOR Andrew Slinn from Phenomenal Fireworks (www.fireworkdisplay.co.uk) tells us how to choose a fireworks display provider for your wedding: Planning a fireworks display can add a dazzling touch to your special day. To ensure a memorable and safe experience, here are our top tips for couples seeking the perfect wedding fireworks: Start early: Begin your search for a fireworks display supplier well in advance. Quality providers may get booked quickly, especially during peak wedding seasons. Aim to secure your supplier at least six months before your wedding date, where possible. Check reputation and reviews: Research potential suppliers thoroughly. Look for reviews, testimonials, and feedback from previous clients. A reputable supplier should have a history of delivering exceptional displays and reliable service. They should also reply promptly to messages and emails during working hours. Insurance and permits: Confirm that the supplier is fully insured and holds the necessary permits and training for your wedding venue. Compliance with local regulations ensures a safe and legal display. Customisation options: Seek a supplier who can tailor the fireworks display to your preferences and wedding theme. Discuss colour schemes, music synchronisation and any specific effects you desire to make the display uniquely yours. Visit previous displays or demos: If possible, attend a live display created by your chosen supplier or ask for video demonstrations. This provides a first-hand look at their work, allowing you to assess the quality and style of their fireworks. Budget considerations: Clearly define your budget for the fireworks display and communicate it to potential suppliers. A professional supplier will work with you to create a spectacular show within your financial constraints. Communication is key: Ensure the supplier is responsive and communicative. Clear and prompt communication regarding your vision, logistics and any special requirements will contribute to a seamless and stress-free experience. Backup plans for weather: Discuss contingency plans in case of adverse weather conditions. A reliable supplier should have measures in place to adapt to unforeseen circumstances without compromising safety. Remember, choosing a fireworks supplier is about more than just creating a visual spectacle; it’s about crafting a moment that will be cherished forever. Take the time to find a supplier who understands your vision and can turn it into a breathtaking reality. Here at Your North West Wedding, we understand how overwhelming organising your nuptials can be. To help, we’ve spoken to local experts and asked for their tips on choosing the perfect suppliers and what you should be aware of before booking. PLANNING SOS 45
