We do from time to time use atmospheric effects to complement our lighting setup (smoke, low fog, or haze machines). It is advised you ask your venue if they are happy for them to be used. It is likely your venue may be fitted with smoke detectors and the machines may set off an alarm in the venue. 3.2 Bubble, Foam and Snow machines
Before booking please ensure your venue permits the use of these machines. If being used on hard surfaces such as a dance floor, tiled floor or any uncarpeted space these machines may cause the floor to become slippery. It is advised that all guests are warned of the risk of a slip hazard before entering the area of which the bubble machine is active.3.3 Mood Lighting
We cannot guarantee your lighting will reach some areas you may require due to lack of plug sockets, distance from plug socket or difficultly installing lights. Chosen colours often may appear different depending on background and light limitations.

Not suitable for children under 3 years old. Whilst glow sticks are non-toxic, they should only be bent to activate and contents should not be ingested. If incorrectly used the contents may cause staining to furniture or clothing.
