It’s that time of year again! Time for CHRISTMAS FIREWORKS !!!

Paul and Jayne contacted us to put on a Christmas Themed Firework Display in the garden of their impressive home! Lots of people had been invited round so we could’t disappoint…

This is a great example of what we can do even with a reduced safety distance, using carefully selected material we were able to safely put on a great show with just 35m of Garden to play with. This was achieved by using a mix of Cat 3 retail fireworks mixed with suitable and well tested Cat 4 products, the end result couldn’t have gone better… Even Santa seemed to have a great time…

We’d like to thank Paul and Jayne for inviting us along, and with everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We were very excited to be asked by Sam & Martin to provide a quiet pyromusical firework display for their amazing wedding at Hogarths Hotel and Restaurant near Birmingham.

Hogarths Hotel have some sensitive neighbours (Horses) so great care needs to be taken to make sure they are not upset by the display. We are how ever allowed a noisy finale, as it’s just one short burst at the end. It’s a great place to get married, and even better that they allow fireworks! It is a stunning setting that really lends itself amazing wedding fireworks…

The feedback we have had was great, you can see the full show here… See if you can spot the heart shaped fireworks towards the end, perfect for weddings…

Amazing Heart Shaped fireworks are the perfect touch for wedding fireworks! They also look really great in pictures, see above…

Once again we returned to Phasels Wood Activity Centre to put on a firework display for 1000+ very happy Scouts and Guides. It’s certainly one of our favourite venues for fireworks, always a warm reception and everyone has such a good time at this event. You can see the results for yourself….

This is just the kind of show we love to do! What better way to end the perfect wedding day than with the perfect wedding fireworks!

When the father of the bride contacted us to commission a wedding firework show set to music, called a pyro-musical, we were very excited and started thinking of music choices and show design right away. One track was the couples choice, the other was ours, can you tell which was which….

Show Budget – £2000-2500

Client feedback – “Thank you once again and we shall certainly recommend you! Everybody has commented on the fireworks and all very favourable!”

It was a real pleasure to put on this display for the happy couple and we wish them all the very best for the future.

When we were asked by Father of the Bride, Roger, if we could provide some secret fireworks for his daughters wedding we were intrigued! He known for his love of fireworks and a plan was put in place, he would entice everyone outside with the promise of him lighting some fireworks. We would light up the trees at the top of the hill with some silver flashing fireworks as a hint of what was to come…

Show Budget – £1,000

We managed to sneak around, drop off all the equipment the day before and keep the secret right up until the big moment.

Deciding how much to spend on your firework display can be tricky, how do you know what you are going to get and if I spend more how far does that extra go?

Our prices start at £750, this is the minimum we charge but it still includes our full service. Most people spend at least £1000 and here is what that basic show looks like…

This base show includes a wide range of effects and shells from 2.5″ all the way up to 6″ in this particular show. The exact material we use depends on your site and the fireworks we have available at the time of your show.

So, if you spend more what extra do you get? Well it’s pretty simple, you get more fireworks! These can be used to lengthen the display or make it “fuller”. We here at Matthews Brothers Pyro always prefer a shorter fuller show, it leaves the audience wowed, which is the whole point of fireworks! Each of our shows is custom designed and the exact content will depend on the safety distance we have available at your site. There is no cookie cutter approach at Matthews Brothers Pyro !!!

Setting your fireworks to music is a great idea and we love to do that, but it does add to the cost and we would recommend spending no less that £1250 for fireworks set to one music track. Really amazing pyromusicals start at around £1800-2000.

We were very happy to return to the Army Foundation College in Harrogate for a Christmas themed show for the Officer’s Winter Ball.

Sharing this video seems the perfect way to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year…

As you can hear we customise the music track for every show we do, and in this case arranged for a professional voiceover artist to add that extra bit of Christmassy feel. We are all about going that extra mile !!!

We were really happy to go along and help Justin and our friends at PDC Fireworks at Renhold Lower School’s Charity Firework Display last weekend. Everyone had a great time, especially all the kids !!!

Justin worked really hard using a mix of Retail Category 3 fireworks supplied by Epic Fireworks and Professional Category 4 material, all set to music and launched by a professional system called Fire-By-Wire. I think this video really shows how good the Epic product is, it offers great value for money, and shows it can be used in a professional display. So if you are looking to buy fireworks for yourself head on over to Epic!

If you are interested to know what fireworks were used at each stage of the display Justin has given me this handy firing order…

Again we returned to Phasels Wood for professional firework display to end their big weekend of activities. With around 600 Scouts & Guides to entertain music choice was key, and judging by all the dancing, shouting and cheering going on I would say we got it about right…

Displays like this are the perfect way to end an event on a high, and we always enjoy working closely with event organisers to customise the display to the audience.
