Fireworks at my wedding..

Okay I just went on the vanderbilt's new web page and under suggested vendors for fireworks they have GRUCCI!!!! SO I went to the grucci webpage and to have a 2-3 minute display at your wedding is only 3,000$ I really want it. Our wedding is july 4th weekend. I kind of think that maybe they up thier prices on july 4th.

PLEASE tell me I am being insane... MY mom just did..BUUUUT i just called FH and he is like WHAATT I WANT THEM!!!!!!grucci website

ETA: OKay I have come back down to earth... I can't do it... Not even close, It's not in my budget... Oh well

Was that a or a statement? I was looking into getting fireworks at mine since it's on the water and the prices weren't as bad as I thought they'd be. Have you checked out any good places?

OKAY I can't go for it. I have like maybe 50 $ left in my budget.. Maybe some bottle rockets and those ones you throw on the ground and they jump around???

Sorry I like to dream

Actually, it was the Grucci website that I saw!! Someone did fireworks at Glen Island (there's a pic on the website) and my banquet manager told me it cost $17,000!!! When I saw if for around $3000, I was like...'hmm, that's almost affordable!'

Re: Fireworks at my wedding..

I know.. almost.... BOOHOOO... I want them. I guess I will have to do a sparkler exit and maybe a sparkler photo with the bridal party or family

Re: Fireworks at my wedding..

I say go for it, if you have the money in your budget why not? That would be a fantastic ending to a fantastic day!

Re: Fireworks at my wedding..

I wonder what exactly the 'grand illumination' looks like though? When you look at the rest of the prices on their list, I'm worried it would be 2 guys setting off cherry bombs or something

Girl, if you could swing it, I would do it in a HEARTBEAT! Did you say Grucci?! Once in a lifetime, remember!

OK, I'm an enabler.

Re: Fireworks at my wedding..

Ok, ok, I am bringing everyone down to earth. At the bottom it said that doesn't include government fees, licenses, insurance, putting up the workers at a hotel, set up fees- I think in the end you are looking at around 10000! I am totally in love with the idea of fireworks since mine is right on the water but its a budget buster!!!!

I'm getting married on the 4th and there is no way I want fireworks that much. YIKES! three grand... I'd rather put it towards other things... yes, it will be sparklers for me. We'll tell the guests they can go back to their rooms and put on the tv to channel 4

Re: Fireworks at my wedding..

oh my goodness.. a nice idea, but a little crazy for 2 or 3 minutes!!!

Re: Fireworks at my wedding..

I say if you love the idea then both you and FH should do some extra work to get it. Whether it be overtime at your job or getting a part time job until you get the money you need.

I have 2 jobs and it helps tons.
