If you’re planning your wedding, you’ve probably already come across a video or photo with colorful smoke mines. What is a smoke mine? It’s a pyrotechnic charge that shoots a column of colored smoke several to dozens of meters up into the air. Ring a bell now? There are several types of these mines, but more on that below. We most often organize a smoke mine show at an outdoor wedding, where a beautiful wall of dozens of smoke mines is ignited right behind the altar. However, if your wedding is held in an indoor banquet hall, there’s nothing stopping you from still arranging such a show. Instead of launching smoke behind the altar, we simply suggest other moments... Colorful smoke launch in front of the church Colorful smoke mines can make an amazing impression on all the guests when they’re ignited in front of the church after the service. It’s a great alternative to classic confetti, rice, balloons, or doves. Best of all, there’s no cleanup afterward ;) Of course, whether such a show can be carried out should be decided by a pyrotechnician. Only a licensed pyrotechnician will be able to assess the terrain conditions and whether they meet safety requirements for your wedding guests. It’s very important not to attempt such an execution on your own or with the help of people untrained in working with explosive materials. Smoke mines for the couple’s arrival Smoke mines ignited one after another as the wedding car passes by? This is one of the best alternatives to a classic smoke mine show. Until now, such corridors were created with spark fountains, but a colorful wall of smoke makes the effect far more spectacular. It looks great in photos and ALWAYS makes a huge impression on unsuspecting guests. Watch the video below to see what this effect looks like live :) Effects and types of smoke mines Looking at the photos and video above, you can notice that not all smoke mines are the same. Of course, the basic difference is their colors. Available smoke mine colors include: - pink smoke mine - light green smoke mine - green smoke mine - blue smoke mine - white smoke mine - red smoke mine - purple smoke mine - orange smoke mine - yellow smoke mine Besides color, there’s also a division by effect. We distinguish classic smoke mines and smoke mines with crackling. What is the mysteriously sounding crackling? It’s a pyrotechnic effect that mimics a crackle. So what does such a mine look like? First, a colored column of smoke shoots upward, and at the very top an additional bang-and-crackle effect is emitted. If you’re after a WOW effect, definitely choose the crackling version. Is there anything else that differentiates smoke mines? Yes. The last and most important differentiator is the caliber. What does caliber affect? Simply put, it determines how high the smoke mine will go and how dense it will be. The market offers 30 mm and 50 mm caliber mines. You can buy 30 mm mines yourself, even in our online store (check out the smoke mine offer in our shop). However, for 50 mm caliber mines, you need a permit to purchase them, and only licensed pyrotechnicians with training and insurance for working with explosive materials are authorized to use them. Wondering why? They are much stronger, higher, and denser, and therefore require additional safety rules. What is the cost of a smoke mine show at a wedding? You’ve probably been wondering throughout this article how much a smoke mine show at a wedding costs. After all, that’s the title of this post, and not a word about it in earlier paragraphs. Why did we do that? To make you realize how many different compositions are possible for a smoke mine show. The price of such a show therefore depends on a few basic factors: - Type of show Will we be creating a several-meter-long wall of colorful smoke, or just a small accent for the entrance to the hall? - Type of smoke mines Smoke mines with crackling or without? Do you want us to use cheaper amateur mines, or the larger, professional ones with a much nicer effect? - Length of the wall, i.e., number of smoke mines For a basic wall of colorful smoke, we use about 20–30 smoke mines, but that doesn’t mean the number in your show can’t be higher :) - Number of services provided at the event If we’re already at your event and handling several things comprehensively, each of them will be much cheaper. Wondering what else we can do? Smoke mines at a wedding are just an add-on to our core services: we produce beautiful nighttime pyrotechnic shows, low-noise pyrotechnic shows, spark fountains for the first dance or spark waterfalls for the cake... and much, much more. - Event location Where is your event? In the Podlaskie Voivodeship, travel is included in the service price, but if we travel farther, it involves an additional cost, which we’ll agree with you at the very beginning of our conversation. As you can see, there are quite a few aspects that affect the price of a colorful smoke mine show. Installing smoke walls with professional smoke mines starts from around 2000 PLN; using amateur mines brings the price down dramatically. However, every production is different, and we price them individually. When you order a smoke mine show for your wedding, the price includes: all required pyrotechnic show documentation (notifications to the relevant services), the care and supervision of a licensed pyrotechnician, insurance including a clause for work with explosive materials, and site cleanup after the show. By hiring us for your wedding, you can be sure the event will be completely safe, and you won’t have to worry about a thing—we’ll handle everything for you!
