Lots of couples want to use sparkler for their wedding, but sometimes they aren’t allowed by the venue. Other times, the venue allows you to use sparklers, but only in certain designated areas. Knowing whether or not your venue allows the use of wedding sparklers is very important to establish before you make an expensive order, so you always want to check ahead of time. Also, there are other factors that can play a role in whether or not you can use sparklers at your wedding venue, so let’s explore those factors so you can have a beautiful wedding experience without wasting your money on a useless purchase.
Ask the Owners
As we mentioned before, many wedding venues simply don’t allow you to use sparklers or have special rules and restrictions surrounding their use. The best thing you can do is ask the owners if you can use wedding sparklers to get a straight answer, and if having them as part of your ceremony or reception is important to you then you should ask them before you make your deposit on the venue. Often times the initial deposit for a wedding venue is not refundable, so you don’t want to throw away money if that site isn’t going to work out. If you’re lucky, your venue will allow sparklers all together or have reasonable rules like where they can be used or if you need to have a trained firefighter or other expert present as part of the contract.
Know the Laws
Another important thing to consider is whether or not sparklers are legal in your area at all. Some venue owners will give you permission to use wedding sparklers while not knowing that they are banned in your city or state. Using fireworks such as sparklers illegally can carry some pretty hefty fines or, in some cases, even jail time. Though most law enforcement agencies will simply scold you and confiscate your stash of wedding sparklers, that’s really not something you want to risk on your wedding day.
Indoor Weddings
Since most people use sparklers outside, there’s a misconception that you can’t use them indoors. Most sparklers for weddings are formulated and designed to be smokeless so they can be used in photos without creating a thick haze, and that means you can safely use them indoors as long as all the proper fire safety precautions are met. You will obviously want access to a fire extinguisher and to have ample space indoors to use your wedding sparklers safely, but you won’t need to worry about ventilation concerns as long as you buy sparklers that are designed to be used for weddings since they don’t create ay smoke or ash.
Wedding sparklers are quickly becoming a modern tradition in America, but not every venue allows you to use them. However, as long as you ask the venue owners, obey your state and local laws, and follow common sense safety measures, you can use sparklers at your wedding venue without fear; even if you are planning an indoor wedding.
