My younger sister has decided to get married, AT THE END OF THE MONTH. She announced it a week ago and I've been put in charge of buying and organising some fireworks. Does anyone have recommendations for a shop or outlet?

As long as you have a minimum of 25m from the fireworks to the spectators then you could do a really good display for that money. A professional one will start at £500.

All year shops I would recommend include Great Northern Fireworks http://www.greatnorthernfireworks.com/

Firework Emporium https://www.fireworkemporium.co.uk/

Newsbox http://www.newsboxfireworks.co.uk/

Definitely take a look at this place to get some display tips http://www.firework-review.org.uk/index.htm.

And use a gas torch (available from any B&Q type place to light them. You will find it makes lfe a lot easier.

definately the way to go. I have used them several times and they are excellent. Go for a few of the single ignition fireworks, they are expensive but well worth it.

If you have a field full of pikeys nearby, set fire to their caravans and enjoy the show.

Not always, depends who you use.

OP, an idea of the location of your parents house would help.

Half a dozen 100-200 shot single ignition boxes, light them and run back to the champers. Better to blow the mind for 2 minutes than try and do something lasting half an hour.

Other option is spend £500+ and get it done professionally.

I would seriously not blow my money on this stuff. It is mediocre at best (sorry Nathan)

All of the firework shops I have quoted will give you good advice on the best items to buy and correct methods of setting them up. Galaxy have been mentioned somewhere in the thread and they will also give good advice.

Also, if you are looking for seriously good kit then these guys have to be tried www.shellscape.com they do some of the best fireworks I have used (and I have used many thousands of pounds worth over the years)

Another vote for Shellscape, Get some large cakes and a few big rockets, they will advise.
And as others have said, try to make it short and sweet.

Some excellent advice there.
Could also try this place: http://www.thebigfireworkshop.co.uk/
It's the closest shop I know of. Don't be put off by the piss-poor website design, the guy who runs it is a good chap. Tell him "Sultan" sent you and he'll treat you well (but don't say I said his website was ste).
