Cold Sparks vs. Dancing on a Cloud: Which Effect Is Right for Your Big Moment?
Updated: 3 days ago
Special effects turn a big moment into the moment everyone talks about. The two we get asked about most are cold sparks and Dancing on a Cloud. Here's how they differ and when to use each one.
Cold sparks
Cold spark machines shoot fountains of sparkling light up from the floor. They're perfect for a grand entrance, the last dance, a cake cutting or a Sweet 16 reveal. The look is high energy and celebratory, and they make for amazing photos and video.
Dancing on a Cloud
Dancing on a Cloud creates a thick, low-lying cloud that covers the dance floor and stays close to the ground. It's made for slow, emotional moments like a first dance or a father-daughter dance. In photos it looks like you're dancing in the sky.
Can you do both?
Yes, and it's one of our favorite combinations. Start the first dance on a cloud, then hit the cold sparks for the big finish. Here's what it looks like at a Sweet 16:
Before you book
