Common questions
Are cold sparks actually safe indoors?
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.
Will the effects set off the fire alarm?
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.
Does my venue need to approve this?
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.
How much space do you need?
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.
