Short answerNo. 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.

More about dry ice

No, they do different jobs. Dry ice gives you a thick, white, low cloud that hugs the floor and rolls across it, which is why it's so popular for a first dance or a big entrance. It gives that "dancing on the clouds" look, and it's often the most photographed moment of the night. It looks especially good on an LED dancefloor.

Smoke and haze work higher up. They hang in the air and make lighting beams visible, so they suit a room where you want the lights to be part of the show. They won't give you that low, floor-level cloud, and dry ice won't light up beams in the same way. That's why many couples book both.

If you're going for dry ice, tell us when your first dance or big moment is and we'll have it ready to go. You could also pair it with cold spark fountains for a finale everyone will film. Dry ice starts from £295 including VAT, and we deliver, set up and collect.
