The Moments
What We Do at a Matric Dance
Red-Carpet Spark Arch
Twin cold spark fountains fire as each couple walks the carpet. The single most photographed moment of the night.
Opening Dance Cloud
A low dry ice cloud for the head couple or teacher opening dance — clean, white and floor level.
Timed to the DJ
We cue every effect with your DJ or MC so nothing fires early and nothing is wasted.
Full Operation
Our operator runs the equipment all evening. We never leave machines with staff or learners.
See indicative costs on our pricing page.
Professional Operation
Built for School Halls
Cold spark machines are not pyrotechnics. They heat a granulated metal composite electrically to throw a low-temperature spark fountain — no gunpowder, no open flame, no smoke and no UV. Every effect is set up, positioned and operated by us, with appropriate clearances around each machine, and the fountain aimed away from learners, formal wear and décor.
Dry ice fog is simply frozen CO₂ subliming in warm water. It sits at floor level, contains no glycol or oil, and clears within minutes. We cap the effect to the song length and monitor ventilation throughout.
School and venue requirements apply, so please confirm permission with the hall or venue before the event. Beforehand we confirm ceiling height, overhead clearance, smoke-detector type and power supply with the school or venue in writing, and if they request information about the effect or equipment we will provide the relevant details where available.
