Why choose our dry ice?

Dry ice creates that dreamy “dancing on the clouds” moment: a thick white cloud that hugs the floor while you dance. It’s the most photographed moment of the night at many weddings, and it looks stunning on an LED dancefloor.

Tell us when your first dance or big moment is, and we’ll have it ready to go. Pair it with cold spark fountains for a finale everyone will film.

Dry ice FAQs

When is dry ice used?

Usually for the first dance, but it also works for a grand entrance, a cake cutting or a big reveal. It lasts for a few minutes, so it’s timed to your moment.

Is dry ice the same as smoke or haze?

No. Dry ice makes a thick, low cloud that stays on the floor. Smoke and haze fill the air and make lighting beams visible. Many couples use both.

Is it allowed at my venue?

Most venues allow it, but every venue has its own rules. Tell us your venue when you book and check with them that low-lying effects are fine.

Which areas do you cover?

We’re based in Luton and cover Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and North London. Delivery is charged by distance and shown in your instant quote.
