Always confirm with your venue first prior to booking.
Are cold sparks safe indoors?
Cold spark machines create a spectacular indoor-safe sparkler effect using a cold titanium-based powder. They simulate fireworks—without the heat, smoke, or fire risk—making them safe for most indoor and outdoor venues.
What are cold spark machines?
How many machines do I need?
Most clients rent 2 or 4 cold spark machines depending on the size of the dance floor or stage. We’ll help you decide based on your layout and vision.
Each unit requires a standard 110V outlet. We recommend placing outlets within 25 feet of the machine location. Extension cords can be provided if needed.
What are the power requirements?
Yes. A trained staff member will be on-site to set up, monitor, and trigger the cold sparks safely and professionally.
Always confirm with your venue first prior to booking.
Do you stay to operate the equipment?
Yes, they can be used outdoors as long as:
There is no heavy wind or rain
A flat, dry surface is available for setup
Power is accessible within 25 feetAlways confirm with your venue first prior to booking.
Can cold sparks be used outdoors?
Each machine can produce sparks in controlled bursts, lasting up to 15 seconds per activation, repeated multiple times throughout your event. We'll operate them at the perfect moments!
How long do the cold sparks last?
dancing on the clouds
No! Because the fog stays low to the ground, it typically does not trigger smoke alarms. Still, we recommend checking with your venue ahead of time to confirm any specific policies.
Will it set off fire alarms?
The cloud effect lasts about 3 minutes, making it perfect for first dances, surprise entrances, or special highlights during your event.
How long does the effect last?
Yes! The fog is made using heated water and dry ice—no smoke, no chemicals. It is completely safe, odorless, and leaves no residue on floors or clothing.
Is the effect safe?
We use a professional dry ice fog machine that produces thick, white fog that stays close to the ground. It does not rise, so it won’t interfere with lighting, photos, or set off most smoke detectors.
How is the effect created?
Do you provide an operator?
Yes. A trained team member will be there to set up and operate the machine, ensuring perfect timing and safety throughout the effect.
Yes, under the right conditions:
Flat, dry surface
No heavy wind or rain
