What cold sparks are, and what they are not
Cold spark fountains push a shower of sparks up from a small unit on the floor. They are not pyrotechnics and there is no open flame, which is the whole reason they exist: venues spent years banning sparklers, and this is what replaced them. Ours are called Hearts on Fire, and your DJ fires them on a cue from your own timeline rather than a technician guessing from the back of the room.
When to use it
Three moments. Your grand entrance into the reception, the last stretch of your first dance, and the final song of the night. Couples who only want one usually pick the entrance, because that is the shot that ends up on every guest’s phone. If you want them in more than one place, the Poppin Party Bundle at $795 pairs them with cloud bubbles and no mess streamers.
Will your venue allow it?
Most indoor venues in Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Phoenix approve cold sparks, and plenty that ban sparklers still allow these. The venue and the local fire code always get the final word, so we clear it in writing before your date and send documentation if the venue asks. Ceiling height and sprinkler placement are the two things they usually want to know about.
Fire code differs by city and by building. In Texas it sits with the Texas State Fire Marshal's Office and in Arizona with the Arizona Office of the State Fire Marshal. If your venue wants documentation, ask us and we will get it to them.
Hearts on Fire Cold Sparks questions couples ask
Are cold sparks safe to use indoors?
Cold spark fountains are designed for indoor use because they produce no open flame, which is the reason venues that ban traditional sparklers and pyrotechnics often still approve them. The venue and the local fire code always get the final say, so Weddings Unlimited confirms approval with your venue before your date and can send documentation if the venue asks for it.
Do venues allow cold sparks instead of sparklers?
Many do. Cold spark fountains produce no open flame, so venues that ban traditional sparklers indoors often approve these instead. Weddings Unlimited confirms approval with your venue before your date and can provide documentation for the venue file.
How much do cold sparks cost for a wedding?
Cold sparks are part of Magic Moments at Weddings Unlimited, which is $395 for special effects and lighting added to your wedding. They are also included in the Poppin Party Bundle at $795 alongside cloud bubbles and 30 no mess streamers.
When during the reception should we use cold sparks?
