Simply, all displays commence from £750.00 incl. VAT.
The budget for a fireworks display should always be determined by what the client is willing to spend. It will always be the case that the more that is spent, the bigger the display. Frontier Fireworks will never impose a budget upon your event. Instead a display will be designed to suit the exact budget and requirements of an event.
It is widely stated in the fireworks industry that clients should spend anything from £100.00 to £1,000.00 a minute. This is not the case and can be extremely misleading. An experienced display designer would be able to create a sequence of bright burning flares for one minute, which would cost less than £50.00 incl. VAT. However the same designer could create a shell sequence for the same duration that could cost over £1,000.00 incl. VAT.
The answer to the question of budget is usually influenced by a number of variables and is closely linked to the duration of a proposed display. The venue itself can affect the duration of a display. The design team at Frontier Fireworks would be more than happy to discuss these points on an individual basis.
By considering two situations, it may help to explain some of the confusion regarding pricing versus duration.
For example, two event organisers would like a £4,000.00 incl. VAT display for twenty minutes, both would like a high impact display. One of the display venues is situated behind trees, meaning that an all-aerial fireworks display would be required using just shells, cakes & candles. The other venue has a flat grass field, which means that a full array of fireworks could be used including shells, cakes, candles, gerbs, flares, & mines etc.
This would result in two options, the venue requiring an all-aerial display would have to lower the duration to keep within the restraints of the budget, thus keeping the impact to the same level as the second venue. Alternatively to keep the impact high, the duration for the all-aerial venue could be kept the same and the budget increased as aerial fireworks burn at a quicker rate than lower level fireworks.
