Arteventia: The event management agency that specialises in pyrotechnics
This agency, based in Paris, has an advantage: it knows the venues that can host a pyrotechnics show in line with your expectations. Because you can’t just shoot off fireworks wherever. You have to show consideration for the natural environment and protected areas. Safety measures are important, and official permits must be obtained in a timely manner. That’s unique, irreplaceable know-how. If you clear all these hurdles, what awaits you is by far the most rewarding and creative experience. It’s bound to be high in the prestige stakes. However, if these obstacles have put paid to your plans, you can go with Pyronix as your go-to provider to stage a breathtaking, fascinating fire show. These fire maestros work outdoors or under a big top, and are much more than just a plan B. They are accustomed to working with Luc Petit, the very famous show director and artistic director to celebrities. You come away from it totally dazzled and blissed out.

It doesn’t just stage weddings, but royal weddings. It offers immersive events only, and seeks out truly unconventional locations. Like a fancy-dress party in a church in Paris (really difficult to pull off). Or a garden party in a Paris garden complete with air show. You can ask the impossible of this agency and be demanding in the extreme. But be careful what you wish for! This is truly an agency for VIPs. You come out of it ecstatic and reach a new level of bliss that’s a hard act to follow.
