Planning a wedding often sparks dreams of magical moments, and a fireworks display can turn that dream into reality. If you’re newly engaged and wondering how much wedding fireworks cost in the UK, this guide will walk you through what you can expect and why prices vary.
What Impacts the Price of Wedding Fireworks
Before jumping straight to numbers, it’s worth knowing what influences the overall cost:
- Scale & Duration: A brief, intimate fireworks display costs less than a large-scale show that fills the sky with colour. More fireworks and longer runtimes all impact cost.
- Type of Display: A standard firework display is typically the most cost-effective option. Pyromusical displays, however, naturally sit at a higher price point. This is because they require additional design and preparation time to synchronise each cue to the chosen soundtrack, as well as a professional sound system capable of delivering high-quality audio for audiences of up to 500 spectators, all of which is included in our packages.
- Complexity & Effects: The overall price also depends on the types of fireworks included in the display. More intricate effects, larger shells, specialist products, or a greater range of colours and sequences will naturally increase the cost. In simple terms, the more advanced or diverse the fireworks, the higher the price of the display.
- Venue & Logistics: The planning and preparation involved in arranging risk assessments, securing permissions, managing safety requirements, and organising set-up logistics are all factored into our pricing.

Things to Consider When Booking a Firework Display
Venue permissions & safety
Phenomenal Fireworks can handle all safety requirements and liaise directly with your venue to secure any necessary permissions. Our team manages the process from start to finish, ensuring everything complies with local regulations and venue guidelines.
Noise considerations
If your venue has noise restrictions or you’re celebrating in a rural setting, we can provide a stunning low-noise display designed to maintain atmosphere without loud bangs. We’ll advise on the best options based on your location.
Site layout & set-up
Every venue is different, and our technicians will assess the available space to recommend the most suitable display. Whether the site is open and spacious or more limited, we’ll design a show that works safely and beautifully. For locations where traditional fireworks may not be possible, smoke displays can offer a striking alternative. Because smoke displays require a smaller safety distance than what’s needed for fireworks, they provide far greater flexibility.
Optional enhancements
If you’re looking for something more personalised, such as a pyromusical, bespoke colours, lance work, fire writing, or additional effects, we can incorporate these into your display. Any optional extras will be reflected in pricing.
Booking high-demand dates
Peak wedding months and seasonal celebrations can fill up quickly. If you’re considering a display for a popular date, it’s best to enquire early so we can secure your slot.

Adding fireworks to your wedding is all about balancing your vision, venue, and budget. Whether you want a subtle sparkly send-off, a romantic low-noise finale, or a large-scale spectacular display, we have an option to suit you.
