A fireworks display is one of the most magical moments you can add to your wedding day. But timing it right is essential, especially for evening weddings in North Wales and Cheshire, where sunset times vary dramatically throughout the year.
Fireworks always look best against a dark sky. A common mistake is firing too early, when it’s still too light.
Your display should ideally start 20–40 minutes after sunset.
At Bright Sparks, we automatically check sunset times for every wedding in North Wales and Cheshire so your display is perfectly timed.
This is one of the most popular timings.
Imagine finishing your first dance, the doors opening, and your guests being led outside for a fireworks surprise.
If your day involves moving between spaces, for example, a ceremony barn to an evening tipi, fireworks can act as a natural transition point.
Fireworks keep the energy high and bring everyone together.
Most wedding venues in North Wales and Cheshire have cut-off times between 10pm–11pm.
If timing is tight, low-noise fireworks are an ideal solution.
This ensures your photographer captures you in front of the opening effects.
Some couples choose a ‘secret fireworks timeline — a surprise for guests, sometimes even the groom or bride!
When the first launch goes up, the excitement is incredible.
Timing is everything when planning wedding fireworks in North Wales and Cheshire. Whether it’s after your first dance, at dusk, or as a surprise finale, the right timing transforms your display into a truly unforgettable moment.
If you’d like help planning the perfect timeline, Bright Sparks can design a display tailored to your venue, time of year and wedding schedule.
