For couples who’ve always pictured fireworks at their wedding.
A well-designed wedding fireworks moment is one of the few things your guests will still be talking about a year later. The shells land on the beat. The finale syncs to the lyric. The photographer captures the kiss with the sky lit behind you. That doesn’t happen by accident, it happens because a PGI certified operator designed the show around your venue, your music, and your moment.
My 3 Sons Fireworks Company has fired wedding displays across every region of Florida. Every show is designed by Josh Hite personally and executed by our credentialed pyrotechnic crews statewide. One company, one contract, one accountable owner-operator, and a team trained to handle whatever your venue throws at us.
Florida wedding fireworks investment
Every wedding fireworks show is quoted custom because every wedding is. The kind of moment you want, the venue, the music, the choreography, the location, the amount of product in the design — these all shape the show, and the show shapes the price.
Here are honest reference points to give you a sense of where weddings typically land:
- The minimum investment for a permitted aerial wedding show is $6,500.
- Pyromusical finales choreographed across a full song step up from there based on length, complexity, and amount of product in the sky.
- Over-water and barge shows involve more permitting, marine equipment, and crew, so they are priced separately.
- Elaborate, multi-act productions for large venues, destination events, or once-in-a-lifetime moments can reach well into five figures.
The right number for your wedding shows up on the call once we hear about your date, your venue, and the moment you want to make unforgettable. Request a quote and we come back within one business day.
For wedding planners
You don’t want to chase three vendors for the show, permits, and venue coordination. With us, it’s one contract, one contact, one quote that includes the show, permits, site survey, fire watch, COI, rehearsal coordination, and post-show cleanup. We send the Certificate of Insurance directly to the venue’s risk team, copy you on every email, and slot the cue into your run-of-show. We’ve worked with planners across South Florida, Naples, Tampa Bay, Orlando, Jacksonville, and the Panhandle, we know how to disappear into your timeline.
For venues
If you’re a venue evaluating whether to allow fireworks for a couple’s booking, here’s the short version: we’re a PGI certified operator, fully insured (general liability with additional-insured endorsements for the property), USDOT 4032949 active with a clean FMCSA record, and we handle every permit, every authority having jurisdiction, every Coast Guard notification for water shows. We do a site survey before contract signing to confirm fallout zones, vendor staging, and any conflicts with adjacent property. We’ve worked at major resorts, country clubs, private estates, and historic venues throughout Florida. Tell us what your insurance carrier requires and we’ll meet it.
Destination weddings, flying into Florida
For couples flying in from out of state or out of the country, we coordinate the entire pyrotechnic side as one package. Your planner gets one number. We handle the venue selection, permitting, vendor liaison, COI, and rehearsal coordination so the show fits cleanly into the broader run-of-show. The most common destination wedding regions for fireworks bookings are Palm Beach, South Florida, Naples and Marco Island, the Tampa Bay barrier islands, the Florida Keys, and the Sanibel/Captiva area. Every region has its own permit calculus and lead time; we handle the paperwork end-to-end.
Lead times for destination weddings: six months out is comfortable. Three months is workable for most jurisdictions. Less than thirty days is not workable for permitted aerial shows in any Florida jurisdiction; ask about cold spark and flame effects, which have shorter venue approval windows.
Wedding fireworks by Florida region
Palm Beach
From private estates on the island to the luxury hotels in Palm Beach proper, we fire wedding fireworks throughout the Town of Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Wellington, Singer Island, Jupiter, and broader Palm Beach County. The Town of Palm Beach has its own fire marshal permitting distinct from West Palm Beach; we manage both. Estate shows on the island require additional coordination with town fire and police; we handle the liaison.
South Florida
Boca Resort, Delray Beach Country Club, Hyatt Pier 66 in Fort Lauderdale, the Westin Diplomat in Hollywood, dozens of South Florida wedding venues have hosted My 3 Sons productions. Boynton Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Hallandale Beach all have streamlined fire marshal processes. Waterfront shows along the Intracoastal or Atlantic add Coast Guard coordination, which we handle in-house.
Miami & Dade
Miami wedding fireworks have their own permitting calculus, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, City of Miami Fire-Rescue, Miami Beach’s separate fire marshal with strict beach-display rules. Brickell, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, Key Biscayne, Aventura, Sunny Isles. Waterfront shows on the bay or ocean add USCG coordination. Recurring wedding venues: the Biltmore, Vizcaya, the Fontainebleau, and luxury private estates throughout the region.
Naples & Marco Island
The Gulf coast wedding circuit is particularly active for destination weddings. Naples, Marco Island, Bonita Springs, and broader Lee County book regularly through spring and fall. Resort partners include the Ritz-Carlton Naples, Marco Beach Ocean Resort, Hyatt Regency Coconut Point. Beach and Gulf shows require Collier County Fire Rescue coordination plus Coast Guard.
Tampa Bay
The Tampa Bay barrier islands, Anna Maria Island, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Treasure Island, are some of the most photogenic wedding fireworks venues in Florida. Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Sarasota all have their own fire marshal processes.

10 questions couples ask about wedding fireworks
Wedding fireworks, the top 10
How far in advance should we book?
Six months out is comfortable for most Florida venues. Three months is workable for most jurisdictions. Less than thirty days is not workable for permitted aerial shows in any Florida jurisdiction, that’s a hard floor, not a guideline. If you’re inside that window, ask us about cold spark and flame effects, which have shorter venue approval timelines.
How much does a Florida wedding fireworks show cost?
The minimum investment for a permitted aerial wedding show is $6,500. From there, the price moves with how long the show runs, how intricate the choreography is, whether it syncs to music, where the show happens (land, water, barge), and how much product is in the sky. Multi-act productions for large venues or destination events can reach well into five figures. The actual number for your wedding comes on the call once we know your date, your venue, and the moment you want to make.
How long is the show?
Most wedding shows are between two and five minutes. Two-minute “moment shows” are timed to a single song or first dance. Five-minute “finale shows” close out the reception with a multi-act pyromusical. Anything longer than five minutes usually loses guest engagement, we’ll talk you out of it.
Can the show be synced to a specific song?
Yes. Every show is fired electronically with cue files matched to your music. We script to the second so the finale lands exactly on the moment the lyric, drum hit, or cinematic build calls for it. Send us the song after booking and we design the choreography around it.
What if my venue doesn’t allow fireworks?
Most won’t turn it down once they see our credentials and COI naming them as additional insured. We’ve worked at venues that initially said “no fireworks” and then approved once their risk team reviewed the paperwork. If your venue genuinely can’t accommodate aerial fireworks (very rare), we can scope indoor cold spark and flame effects that produce a similar visual impact with venue-approved equipment.
What happens if it rains?
Light rain is fine for most aerial shows. Heavy rain or lightning means we postpone or substitute cold spark indoors. The contract spells out the weather contingency clearly: who makes the call to cancel, how long the deposit stays valid for postponement, and what the refund logic looks like.
Can we do fireworks during the ceremony?
Yes, with appropriate safety distance and venue approval. Most couples prefer the reception so guests are already drinking and engaged. If you want it during the ceremony, we coordinate with your officiant on timing and with your photographer/videographer on camera positions.
How loud is it, will it scare older guests or kids?
Aerial fireworks are loud. For noise-sensitive venues or guest lists with sensitive attendees we scope toward higher visual impact and lower concussive product. Tell us in advance and we’ll design accordingly, you don’t have to choose between “spectacle” and “people enjoying themselves.”
Do you handle the permits?
Yes. Every booking includes site survey, permit application, fire marshal liaison, and Coast Guard notification for over-water shows. You don’t fill out anything. Most permits run 30 days minimum lead time; over-water shows need 60 days.
How much space does the fallout zone need?
Depends on show size. A small wedding finale needs roughly a 200-foot fallout radius; a major show might need 600+ feet. We do a site survey before contract signing to confirm the venue can accommodate the planned show safely. If the venue can’t, we’ll scope a smaller show that fits the space or recommend a different layout.
Indoor venues and cold spark alternatives
Many Florida ballrooms and tented receptions don’t allow real pyrotechnics indoors. For those venues we offer cold spark machines and theatrical flame effects that produce the visual impact of fireworks at a fraction of the safety footprint. Cold spark is rated for indoor use and approved by most venue insurance carriers; we confirm with your specific venue. Common use cases: grand entrance, first dance, finale moment as the couple exits.
