When should you start planning?
You should begin planning a fireworks show for your event as soon as possible.
Our recommendation is a minimal lead time of 3 months for adequate planning and to ensure local permits can be obtained.
Our firework display is custom to your event and will be specifically designed to meet your requirements. The more time we have, the better we can plan, review the pre-show design, obtain permits and order product.

Safety Planning
At Mann Pyrotechnics, safety is our top priority! Once we finalize the details for the show, we'll develop a comprehensive safety plan. This includes having first aid on-site, ensuring water extinguishers are readily available, designating spectator areas marked with caution tape at safe distances from the launch site, along with any other safety measures based on current environmental factors. Your safety is our commitment!
02
Is there enough space?
Space is a crucial element to consider when organizing a fireworks display. We will review your recommended space to ensure there is sufficient space for the fireworks to launch safely, along with designated areas for the audience and the fireworks fallout. Understanding the layout of the space is essential to determine suitable displa. We suggest having a spacious area with an unobstructed view of the launch site. This ensures everyone can safely enjoy the full display.

Mother Nature
We understand that weather and environmental factors may impact firework displays and can be unpredictable. Some factors that might impact a show include if it is too windy, stormy, rainy or too dry.
Our team empathizes with the possibility of cancellations or delays due to environmental factors. Rest assured, we are here to help you reschedule, or adjust the shoot time, as needed.
