Brides Looking For Sparkle Add Fireworks To The Wedding Budget

According to the American Pyrotechnics Association, their membership is being asked to produce more fireworks shows related to weddings, birthdays and other celebrations. Fireworks require the permission of the venue and a permit from local authorities. Provided that both are granted, brides can expect to spend about $1,000 per minute on a dedicated fireworks show.

To take advantage of the interest, some fireworks vendors are setting up display booths at bridal shows. For the vendors, weddings and other special events provide the opportunity for year-round revenues, whereas relatively few holiday and municipal displays take place each year. For brides, the cost of hosting a fireworks display can vary, depending upon the length of the show. Vendors say that even a five- or six-minute show can seem like a half-hour.

The cost of the displays doesn’t seem to deter some brides, who are looking for that special and unique touch for their wedding receptions. For some wedding planners, the venue that doesn’t permit fireworks can be a deal-breaker, and venues report being asked more frequently if they’re amenable to nighttime fireworks displays.
