Creating unforgettable moments at weddings, parties or special events often depends on the atmosphere. One of the most effective ways to elevate any celebration is through professional specialfx. Cosmic Events offers a range of effects—including dry ice, cold sparks, and confetti cannons—that add drama, excitement and visual impact to your event. Serving clients across the South East, including Berkshire, Surrey, Hampshire, Wiltshire, London and nearby areas, we ensure your celebration is as memorable as it is spectacular.


Specialfx do more than impress visually. They engage your guests, create incredible photo and video opportunities, and help set the mood for the entire event. From a romantic entrance with dry ice at a wedding to an energetic confetti finale at a birthday party or corporate celebration, these touches leave a lasting impression.

How Dry Ice SpecialFX Creates a Magical Atmosphere


Dry ice effects produce a low-lying fog that spreads across the floor, resembling a cloud or mist. This effect is especially popular at weddings during the first dance or when the couple makes their grand entrance. The fog adds a dreamy, romantic feel that enhances the emotional impact of the moment.


Benefits of Using Dry Ice


  • Visual impact: The fog creates a surreal environment that photographs beautifully.

  • Safe and clean: Dry ice sublimates into carbon dioxide gas, leaving no residue.

  • Versatile: Works well indoors or outdoors, adaptable to different event sizes.


Tips for Using Dry Ice


  • Coordinate with your venue to ensure proper ventilation.

  • Time the effect to coincide with key moments like the first dance or cake cutting.

  • Use lighting to enhance the fog’s appearance, such as colored uplights or spotlights.


Cold Sparks SpeicalFX Add Excitement Without Heat


Cold spark machines produce a shower of sparks that look like fireworks but without the heat or smoke. This makes them safe for indoor use and suitable for venues with strict fire regulations. Cold sparks are perfect for entrances, stage performances, or to highlight special moments during a party or event.


Why Choose Cold Sparks


  • Safe indoors: No risk of burns or fire hazards.

  • Clean effect: No smoke or residue to clean up.

  • Eye-catching: Sparks create a dynamic and energetic atmosphere.


Practical Uses for Cold Sparks


  • Entrance of the bride and groom or birthday honoree.

  • Highlighting a DJ or live band performance.

  • Adding flair to award presentations or speeches.




Confetti Cannons SpecialFX Bring Joy and Celebration


Confetti cannons release a burst of colorful paper or metallic confetti into the air, instantly creating a festive mood. They are a classic choice for weddings, parties, and events where you want to celebrate a moment with a big visual impact.


Advantages of Confetti Cannons


  • Instant celebration: Perfect for marking a climax or special announcement.

  • Customisable: Confetti can be tailored to match event colours or themes.

  • Easy to use: Quick setup and immediate effect.


Best Practices for Confetti Cannons


  • Use biodegradable confetti to minimize environmental impact.

  • Coordinate timing with music or speeches for maximum effect.

  • Check venue policies to ensure confetti use is allowed.

Combining Effects for Maximum Impact


Using dry ice, cold sparks, and confetti cannons together can create a layered experience that keeps guests engaged throughout the event. For example, start with dry ice fog during a romantic dance, then surprise guests with cold sparks as the party kicks off, and finish with a confetti cannon blast to celebrate the event’s peak moment.
