Wedding Night Fireworks...

[Dibble]

So the Dibble nuptials are fast approaching...

The future Mrs D is a big fan of fireworks, so I was thinking of laying on a display for the night do - something slightly more impressive than a Catherine wheel and a couple of jumbo sparklers.

I've tried Googling without much success, and knowing the PH collective's combined knowledge, just knew this would be the place to ask.

The wedding will be at a hotel on the seafront (service, day and night dos).

Will I need any sort of permits from the local authority?

How much will it cost (I was thinking of maybe £1,000 or so)?

Anyone else here done it, and if so, did it go down well?

Can you insure against weather/conditions causing a cancellation?

Anyone know of any reputable firms in NW England that do this?

Any other info gratefully received... Over to you, people.

£1k on fireworks...hello officer dibble!

I'd try contacting the place where you're having the reception as they may be able to sort something out with pre-existing contacts.

If that doesn't work I may be able to dig out an old box of fireworks from ASDA - would save you £950! lmao!!!

I think the fireworks she will be expecting, are in the bedroom department

For the last 8 years or so my Dad has run the village firework display on behalf of the Cub Scouts. They have a budget of around £1k and have always used The Firework Co.. They have always been very helpful, I would recommend them.

Hi Dibble

Try www.shellburst.com

1k will get you a good display, 1.5k even better.

Company offers full site survey, insurance, loud or quiet display depending on surroundings.

I knew that wouldn't take long.

I am obviously a Google retard.

And for Wedge Girl, Mrs D will be getting other wedding presents too - and not just as you suggest!

A word with your local coastguard is a good idea, save them launching the lifeboat when a well meaning MoP calls in your fireworks as a flare.

Good point - I should have thought of that!

Why waste such valuable public resources?

Now if you knew the locations of some scameras and had a friendly local plant hire shop who would lend you a stihl for the afternoon, now we're talking

And what happens to the poor bugger who fires off his distress flares during your epic flashbang session....?

Don't worry, the coastguard won't just take the evening off, they will still be on watch, just less likely to worry. To a trained eye there is a massive difference between a rocket flare and a firework.

I had to call the coastguard the other night, orange flare slowly coming down on its parachute, coastguard checked up and it was the local lifeboat practising but they thanked me for keeping an eye out.
