The home of pyrotechnics and special effects since 1977
February is home to one of Le Maitre’s favourite holidays—Valentine’s Day. Whilst chocolates and roses are a fitting gift, there is nothing more special than lighting your event with some Le Maitre Pyrotechnics! In this blog we’re going to share with you some of our most romantic pyrotechnic effects, as well as highlight some events where they are perfectly paired. Whether that’s at a wedding, a proposal, a ball or even a singles event, Le Maitre pyrotechnics has an effect for all things love.
Weddings are the epitome of romance and what better way to make this one special day into a spectacle than by adding some extra sparkle with some indoor pyrotechnics.
Le Maitre Gerbs are a go to effect at weddings. This special effect is a stunning visual display of gold or silver sparks thrust into the air. They’re often used to line the aisle as the bride walks down surrounded by sparks or to border the dance floor to dazzle on the first dance. An excellent indoor effect to shine the perfect light on the new couple.
Gerbs offer a wide range of options to suit any moment. You can tailor the height and duration to ensure the effect perfectly enhances the key moment you want to highlight. For instance, our most striking effect — the 1-second by 50ft Gerb — delivers a powerful burst, ideal for marking a dramatic moment like the first kiss, especially outdoors with a Hollywood-style dip and the sun setting as the Gerb lights up the couple, or even a cutting the cake moment with the gerbs flying into the air as the knife hits the heel of the cake! Alternatively, longer-duration Gerbs, lasting up to 20 seconds, can fire in sequence as you make your way down the aisle. Whatever moment you wish to amplify, the Gerb is the perfect choice to make it unforgettable.
Getting married is no longer just about the big day! Once the words "will you marry me" are uttered (hopefully followed by a "yes!"), the wedding calendar begins, starting with the increasingly popular engagement party. This event sets the stage for the big day, so why not kick things off in style by incorporating some dazzling pyrotechnics early on to add that extra sparkle?
Using a few of the Le Maitre Pyroflash Confetti Cartridges to create the ultimate instagramable moment has become a popular choice! Choose from multiple colours to fit your colour scheme and as they’re part of our simple plug and play range, they’re simple and easy to use!
This atmospheric effect is the perfect addition to set the romantic scene, as the smoke swirls like silk as you glide onto the dancefloor, reminiscent of a scene out of Wuthering heights! With Le Maitre’s G300 and Freezefog combo, you can recreate this look as the machine utilises CO2 to keep the thick smoke low to the ground with amazing accuracy.
Are you a venue looking for a reason to throw a large event? Or a corporation wanting to put on a fun evening for your employees? Or even a charity wanting to raise some money by hosting a charity gala? A valentine ball is destined to get couples flocking to your event in the hopes of good food, romantic music and of course that extra little sparkle that comes from Special Effects.
Le Maitre’s ice fountains are a special effect that can elevate your table scaping to new heights, with this stunning effect being nestled amongst a floral centerpiece to be ignited at the opportune moment or to create a wow moment as it bursts sparks from out the top of the cake! Our Pro Stage II Ice Fountains come in multiple colours to perfectly compliment your colour scheme of the event.
A guaranteed mood booster, a haze machine perfectly compliments mood lighting by creating a hazy romantic mist that hangs in the air. Le Maitre’s inimitable haze machines, the MVS and Neutron XS, are renowned for their long-lasting mist and eco-friendly haze fluid, the most sustainable on the market. Made from water and sugar, the glucose binds with moisture in the air, ensuring frugal fluid use while keeping your venue misted for hours
Whilst it seems that the dating world is now heavily into the digital age, with hinge success stories and tinder love matches flooding your feeds, the ‘app fatigue’ has become very apparent within the single market, with the longing of good old fashion ‘meeting in the wild’ once again becoming more popular. So why not fire up your single night by adding some smoking hot special effects to get those romantic flames burning.
Le Maitre’s easy to use canister based Salamander Machines are a brilliant way to heat things up at your singles event! Often placed on either side of the entrance, they set a fiery tone as guests arrive. Another great use is to position them around the dance floor, adding a fiery atmosphere to keep the night buzzing. These versatile special effect machines offer three different flame colours and can be sequenced via DMX remote to fire in time with music or used manually.
Gone are the simple days where you take your lover out to a restaurant and hide the ring in a slice of cake! These days proposals are getting more extravagant and what can make a proposal more extra, than to incorporate pyrotechnics into your plans of popping the big question!
Picture this, you’re kneeling down, hands outstretched holding out your ring box, whilst you have a curtain of glorious sparks tumbling down behind you. Is there a more romantic way to ask your future partner for life to become your spouse?
