Sparkler Fountains

we do sparkler fountains right

Cold Spark Technology

Sparkler fountains, or "Cold Sparks" as they are often called, are a great way to create a memorable moment at your wedding or event. While it is perfectly safe to use this special effect indoors, it should only be done by a trained and certified technician. We are proud to offer this service legally and in accordance with local regulations.

Perfect For Weddings

Sparkler fountains provide a powerful effect during your first kiss, first dance, grand entrance and grand exit.*
Along with "wowing" your guests in the moment, sparkler fountains provide a dramatic effect to enhance your wedding photos and videos.
Timing the sparkler fountains to music will create an immersive experience.
For example, we typically suggest firing the Sparkler Fountains during each chorus of your first dance.

* Each “firing sequence" is billed separately, please see our FAQ below or contact us for more details.

How much do you charge?

Are Sparkler Fountains Safe?

Absolutely! If proper precautions are taken and regulations are followed, the Sparkler Fountains are perfectly safe. Many people in the wedding and events business have jumped on the “cold sparks” trend assuming that they are 100% safe and pose zero risk. However, this is only true when the sparkler machines are made by a reputable manufacturer and are operated by a trained professional.

Are these the same as "Cold Sparks"?

Yes. However, we prefer to call them “Sparkler Fountains”. We feel that the term “Cold Sparks” creates a false sense of security within our industry and the events business. We liken the use of sparkler machines to driving a car: reasonably safe and low risk but only when driven by someone who is licensed, insured, and experienced.

What type of equipment do you use?

Our Sparkler Fountains are made in the USA by the leading manufacturer in the field, Sparktacular FX Machines. Unfortunately, poorly manufactured sparkler machines (“knock-offs”) have proliferated the events industry by those who have little to no consideration regarding safety or liability. Even if operated by a trained professional, “knock-off” machines pose a significant risk to safety that we are not willing to assume. We clean/service our machines regularly, which is absolutely essential to their safe operation. 

What is a "firing sequence"?

A “firing sequence” refers to a block of time during which the Sparkler Fountains will typically fire multiple times. Each of the following bullet points is considered a single “firing sequence”,  each ✨ represents a firing:

  • The first kiss at a wedding ceremony ✨, followed by the recessional (ceremony exit) ✨
  • The Newlyweds introduction at a wedding reception ✨, followed by their First Dance with a firing at each chorus ✨✨✨
  • The exit or send off of the Newlyweds at the end of a wedding reception ✨✨
  • The introduction and entrance of a guest of honor at an event ✨
  • The announcement or unveiling of anything noteworthy, at a corporate or non-profit event ✨

Each firing sequence is billed separately.

Can Sparkler Fountains be used anywhere?

When proper precautions are taken, Sparkler Fountains are perfectly safe to use just about anywhere. Every event venue has different considerations so it’s important to check with your venue contact regarding the use of Sparkler Fountains. Modern fire suppression systems use a number of different detection methods including light sensors and particle sensors. Depending on your event venue, these systems may need to be temporarily bypassed while the effect is used during your event.

If I hire you for DJ services, will the DJ provide the Sparkler Fountains?

No. The DJ will be dedicated to his/her responsibilities regarding music and announcements. The Sparkler Fountains will be facilitated by a separate special effects operator. All of our operators have been through an extensive training program and have on the job experience.

Is a permit required?

The regulation of Sparkler Fountains falls to what is known as the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction). In Tampa, FL the AHJ is the City Fire Marshall. The Tampa Fire Marshall requires that events taking place within the city of Tampa obtain a permit for the operation of Sparkler Fountains. Our office staff will assist in obtaining a permit for your event if necessary.

Our offices are open Monday through Friday 10am to 5pm
