    I have found an amazing pyrotechnic company and fireworks for our reception may actually be a possibility!!  Anyone been to a reception that had them?  What would you think attending a reception that had them?  I absolutly love them but I need some feedback!!!

    Our company is fantastic- I never even dreamed it would be doable but after talking with him- it totally is!  Shop around- just be sure you find a reputable company with tons of insurance!  :)

    I live in Oregon so it's illegal, but otherwise i'd do it if it were in my budget.

    Fireworks are always spectacular and something *most* would love to see at any time! How cool for a wedding. I'd love to see fireworks send-off as the bride and groom exit or something like that!

    This is actually my fiance's #1 rule for our venue - they MUST allow a fireworks display!  It's the one thing he really, really wants.  So we are also doing it.  I think it's a really fun thing to do!  The guests will love it,  :)

    There were fireworks when we got engaged so we really wanted to have them for our wedding as a surprise to our guests! However, we really just couldnt afford them because they are SO expensive!!

    I wish we could have them, but our venue wouldn't allow it. We can't even use sparklers, so we are doing glow sticks. I say go for it!

    Thanks ladies!  My dad just brought up another concern about the fireworks display- our reception will be inside from 6:30-11.  We would like to plan the display around 9:30.  Do you think people will just think it's all over and leave afterwards?  The venue has a fantastic terrace that we will be able to move out onto for the fireworks.  ??????
