Yes. Cold spark machines use a granular alloy that ignites at a far lower temperature than traditional pyrotechnics. There is no open flame, no fuel and no smoke, and the sparks cool as they fall. That is why most venues approve them where real pyro is not allowed. We still walk the room with you, keep the required clearance from guests and drapery, and provide a certificate of insurance for your venue.

Cold sparks produce no smoke, so they do not trigger smoke detectors. Our low-lying fog is chilled and water based and stays near the floor, well below ceiling-mounted sensors. We have run both in hotels, ballrooms and churches without an issue, and we always confirm the plan with your venue coordinator first.

Almost always, and we handle it. Send us the venue name when you book and we will forward our certificate of insurance and effect specifications straight to their events team, usually the same day.

Each spark machine needs roughly a two-foot square of floor and a standard outlet nearby. Ceiling height decides how high we run the sparks, and we can dial the effect down for lower ceilings. The 360 photo booth needs about a 10 by 10 foot area.

Popular Saturdays in spring and fall book out months ahead. If your date is close, still reach out. We keep some flexibility and can often cover last-minute requests.

It depends on how many machines you want, how long you need us on site and how far we travel. Send us your date and venue and you will get a straight number back, usually within a few hours. There is no charge and no deposit just to ask.

We cover the Greater Los Angeles area with no travel fee, including the San Fernando Valley, Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, Santa Clarita and Orange County. We go farther for larger events, so just ask.

Spark machines and photo booths need cover from direct rain, so we work out an indoor or tented backup with you ahead of time. Low-lying fog behaves best indoors or on a calm evening, since wind will scatter it.
