Moor Hall Hotel Wedding Fireworks Sutton Coldfield Birmingham

There is nothing quite like a repeat customer! And we had worked with Stuart before at his daughters wedding at Hogarth’s Hotel. Now it was Stuart’s turn for a display at his wedding to the beautiful Elaine at Moor Hall Hotel & Spa.

Stuart & Elaine had picked some great music tracks for their firework display, as you’ll hear in the video above Don’t Stop Me Now went down a storm with their guests with almost everyone joining in! But as a repeat customer we wanted to go the extra mile and do something special, so we picked a classic finale track and surprised them both with Thunderstruck at the end. The look on their faces is priceless, and that confused look is totally genuine, they had no idea about the 4th track 🙂

Netley Hall Shropshire Wedding Fireworks – Martin & Lianne

I have to say few places are perfect for fireworks, we always have to work around some kind of restriction. But Netley Hall just outside Shrewsbury, Shropshire really is the perfect place for Wedding Fireworks. Our Groom Martin hatched the perfect plan to put on a secret firework display for his Bride Lianne. They layout of Netley Hall lends itself really well to this. We hid around the corner while they got married outside in the grounds, and as soon as all the guests were inside for the meal we sprung to life and put on a pretty massive Wedding Firework Display (hard to show on video just how big it was! All the guests (and the Bride!) were lured to the gardens with the promise of a sparkler photograph. But really this happened…

 

 

Emotions were high at the end of the display and we got some great feedback. Always so nice to deliver something so special…

 

“Cris, I owe you a massive thank you! 18 months of planning led to a firework display that not a single guest or my bride knew a thing about! You went above and beyond to ensure that my plan came together with a firework display that was bigger than I could have imagined! Thanks for everything!” Martin (Groom)

 

They also had our optional festoon lighting which we think is a fantastic addition to the night. As you can see in this lovely picture by JOL Photography…

Weston Park Staffordshire Wedding Fireworks – George & Libby

George & Libby had the perfect day for their wedding at Weston Park, and the perfect evening for their wedding firework display. Set in 1000 acres Staffordshire parkland sculpted by Capability Brown, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect setting on a day like that. Not a cloud in the sky and just the lightest of breezes. It’s a local job for us as well. Our main stores are just a few miles away, across the border in Shropshire.

 

The show was custom designed to a Stone Roses track selected by George & Libby. Even at our starting price of £1500 with fireworks to music, we try hard to use all the space and make the display as interesting as we can. There is a lot of space to fill at Weston Park, and we did this by using some of the biggest fireworks we stock, and spreading the front fireworks out over a total of 6 sites at the front. This means we can place the fireworks where they are most effective in the space. Care was taken to hit every note to the start of the track.

 

 

Here you see some of the larger shells used in the finale, To give it some scale the Yellow Mortar Tubes in the centre are 6″ (150mm) in diameter. In the distance you can see the smaller calibre shells, and then the first of the 6 front sites we set out. George & Libby were over the moon with the result, a fantastic way to start many happy years together…

Blists Hill Ironbridge Gorge Museum Wedding Fireworks – Laura & Nick

Guess what? One of the Matthews Brothers went and got married!

 

Nick married Laura in San Diego in March, and they decided to throw a big party back here in the UK at Blists Hill Victorian Town Museum, in Ironbridge Shropshire. Of course fireworks were going to be on the agenda! Despite it’s overall impressive size, it’s actually quite a tricky venue for the sort of fireworks we wanted to do. But with some smart planning we were able to squeeze in the display we knew would blow everyones socks off.

 

Nick had chosen the first 2 tracks. But the 3rd was a surprise. You can see his face as it starts and the penny drops that we are only half way through.

 

I have to say the staff at Blists Hill were fantastic. They couldn’t have been more accommodating and welcoming. It was a fantastic place for a wedding, the victorian funfair was amazing, as was the weather!

 

Congratulations to Laura & Nick. May this wedding firework display be the start of many many many happy years together…

New Years Wedding Fireworks at Middleton Lodge, North Yorkshire

Toni & Aaron held their wedding on New Years Eve at Middleton Lodge near Richmond in North Yorkshire. What do you need at a wedding on New Years Eve? FIREWORKS! And we were more than happy to help out with that! Wedding Fireworks and New Years Eve are the perfect combination, they really kick off the New Year Party…

 

 

We’ve done fireworks at Middleton Lodge a few times now, and for one day in the year the normal noise restriction is lifted and we get to bring out some of the larger fireworks we offer. I think the results speak for themselves, we are over the moon with the display, as were the lovely couple.

Quiet Wedding Fireworks at Middleton Lodge, North Yorkshire

Groom Andy had hatched a plan to surprise his new wife Fiona with a special fireworks display. We worked closely with photographer duo Stott & Atkinson to get everyone out side at the right moment, I think you’ll see from Fiona’s face she really did think she was going outside for a late night picture with all her guests…

 

Suggested Budget – £2000-2500

 

Since we were last at Middleton Lodge a noise restriction has come into place for fireworks. This means we have to carefully select material that keeps the impact high and noise levels low. There is a big space to fill at Middleton Lodge, it’s a stunning place for wedding fireworks I think you’ll agree.

 

Hats off to Andy for keeping everything a secret from just about everyone. Not an easy thing to do when organising a wedding !!!

 

“I would just like to say a big thank you to Cris for putting this display together for me and what a display it was!
It was an idea of mine whilst working away in Dubai for 6-months to have the fireworks display during the evening of my wedding to Fiona. After looking at various companies on the web, I contacted Middleton Lodge as they have the noise restriction in place and asked them about who they would recommend for a firework display.

They pointed me in the direction of Matthews Brothers Pyro and this was the best recommendation ever.

Even though only being able to communicate via email, Cris was able to offer advice and guidance for the type, size and length of display. They even managed to get everything ready on the day without anybody suspecting – even Fiona (as you can see from her reaction) who has a nose for this type of thing!

From the comments we have had from our family and friends attending the wedding, everybody loved it.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Matthews Brothers Pyro to anybody for any fireworks display that they would be looking to hold.”

Taplow House Hotel Wedding Fireworks

Taplow House Hotel is an amazing place for a wedding, and Pippa & Anthony were very lucky indeed. It had been very very foggy for the 24 hours in the run up to the display but it started lifting about an hour before we were due to fire. There was still some mist in the air but I think that only added to the atmosphere…

Suggested Budget – £1750-2000

Pippa & Anthony picked their own music to, and I their choices allowed for a great wedding firework display. We always encourage couple to choose their own music, it’s nice if the tracks really mean something to them.

With their neighbours being so close, Taplow House Hotel ask for the fireworks to be as quiet as possible.  With careful product selection and a bit a creativity we were able to keep the impact high, and the fact that quiet wedding fireworks tend to be lower level effects actually worked in our favour with the slightly reduced visibility on the night.

“It is so awesome and I love that we can see some of the guests watching!  Thanks so much, yet again! You are so clever and you are the best!

Just really going to have to invent another party so that we can have you again and again!

You guys deserve so much!

The rest of the Wedding was great too – but you were awesome!

Thank you again! Lots and lots of love and Happy New Year!”

New Year Wedding Fireworks – Middleton Lodge

I’m not entirely sure if you can have a Wedding on New Years Eve without having Wedding Fireworks to go along with it, and I am so glad Tanya & Huw booked us at the wonderful Middleton Lodge to make sure their guests were not disappointed…

 

 

We went all out on this show, it had to feel just like the biggest of New Year shows and I think we managed to do just that. It was a  real pleasure to welcome in the New Year at Middleton Lodge, Happy New Year to you all and here is to a fantastic year ahead…

 

Cris Matthews Photography were on hand to capture some amazing fireworks photographs…
