Wedding fireworks in Santorini start at 560 euros for a two minute aerial display and go up to 2,700 euros for six minutes. Ground fountains for the first dance start from 50 euros each, and daytime coloured smoke is 80 euros per shot. All prices include VAT.
What you can actually have depends on your venue. Several venues restrict aerial fireworks or ban them outright, and that single fact decides most of the plan. Below is the full catalogue, the real durations, the constraints we work under, and how booking works.
What kinds of wedding fireworks can you have in Santorini?
Four products, and they do different jobs at different moments of the day.
- Aerial fireworks. The full sky display, sold as six named packages running from two to six minutes.
- Ground fountains. Columns of sparks fired from the ground, 3 to 6 metres high, lasting 30 or 60 seconds. For the first dance, the cake, or the entrance.
- Daytime fireworks. Single shots of coloured smoke, for ceremonies and photographs in daylight.
- Silent aerial fireworks. Individual aerial pieces lasting 15 to 80 seconds each, for venues that do not permit a regular aerial display.
We also sell handheld smoke bombs and sparklers from our shop in Fira. Full prices are on the Santorini fireworks price list.
How much do wedding fireworks cost in Santorini?
An aerial display costs between 560 and 2,700 euros depending on how long it runs. There are six packages and the price follows the duration. Every price below includes VAT.
| Aerial package | Duration | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Eos | 2 minutes | 560 euros |
| Zeus | 2.5 minutes | 760 euros |
| Iris | 3 minutes | 940 euros |
| Aphrodite | 4 minutes | 1,375 euros |
| Persephone | 5 minutes | 2,000 euros |
| Artemis | 6 minutes | 2,700 euros |
Ground fountains and daytime shots are priced per piece. Fountains start from 50 euros each depending on size, daytime shots are 80 euros each, and handheld sparklers start from 7 euros a pack from our shop. If you are planning for 2027 or later, our current prices still apply and you can book at these rates.
Which aerial package should you choose?
Choose on duration and budget. Eos runs two minutes, Artemis runs six, and the four packages in between fill the range. Zeus at 2.5 minutes and Aphrodite at 4 minutes are the two we hold sample footage for, so they are the easiest to picture before you decide.
If you want to know what a particular package looks like, ask us and we will talk you through it rather than leave you guessing from a name.
Can we see a video of the fireworks?
Yes, for two of the packages. We change the fireworks we use every year, so treat these as a sample of the style rather than a shot by shot preview of your night.

- Aphrodite package: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGTq2HG92CU&t=3s
We do not hold sample videos for Eos, Iris, Persephone or Artemis. The Zeus and Aphrodite clips give the best perspective we can offer on those.
What works best for the first dance?
Ground fountains. They fire from the floor beside the dance area, last 30 or 60 seconds, and reach 3 to 6 metres.
The 3 metre, 60 second fountain is the one to use indoors. The others are for outdoor use.
What are daytime fireworks, and what colours can we have?
Daytime fireworks are single shots of coloured smoke fired into the sky, used for ceremonies and group photographs in daylight. Nine colours are available and nothing outside that list can be produced.
- Available: red, white, green, blue, yellow, pink, purple, orange, light blue.
- Not available: gold, silver, brown and metallic shades of any kind.
Two honest points before you plan a palette around them. This is smoke in the air, so precise shades cannot be matched: if your florist has given you an exact tone, we will get close to the family, not to the swatch. And an all white show is possible but has poor contrast against a bright Santorini sky, so it photographs weakly. When couples ask what looks best, the answer is the rainbow scheme.
Daytime shots are also the product most sensitive to wind. We watch the forecast constantly and that responsibility sits with us, not with you.
What if your venue does not allow aerial fireworks?
Silent aerial fireworks are usually the answer, and they are a genuinely different product from a package display. Each silent piece lasts roughly 15 to 80 seconds, not minutes, so you are buying individual pieces rather than a timed display of several minutes.
| Silent piece | Duration |
|---|---|
| Golden Fan | 15 seconds |
| Meteor Fan | 15 seconds |
| Carnival Fan | 45 seconds |
| Woof Fan | 80 seconds |
Silent pieces are quoted per piece once we know your venue and how many you want. Email us and we will send the figures with sample pictures.
Cavo Ventus and El Viento are the two venues where this comes up most often. Neither permits a regular aerial package, and both permit silent aerial, ground fountains and daytime shots. Silent aerial is not a way round the rules everywhere: Le Ciel and Rocabella are ground only and allow no aerial of any kind, silent included.
Which Santorini venues allow fireworks?
Most venues on the island take the standard catalogue. A handful have rules of their own, and those rules decide the plan before anything else does.
| Venue | Aerial packages | Silent aerial | Ground fountains | Daytime smoke |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cavo Ventus | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| El Viento | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Le Ciel | No | No | Yes | No |
| Rocabella | No | No | Yes | Only if the venue team approves it for your event |
| Eros | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Thermes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Any other venue | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
These are the rules as they stand today and venues do occasionally change them, so tell us where you are getting married and we will confirm before you plan around it. More detail is on the Santorini venue fireworks rules page.
Do you deliver sparklers and smoke bombs?
No, handheld items are pickup only from our shop at Shopping Center “Ermis” in Fira. The one exception is when your order also includes a display our crew is attending: in that case we bring the handhelds with us when we arrive for the show.
The shop is open 11:30 to 14:30 and 18:30 to 20:00. Call ahead on +30 2286 021800 so we have your items ready when you get there.
How does booking work, and do you need a deposit?
No deposit. We prefer payment on the day of the event, and we will send bank details if you would rather pay in advance.
We confirm dates firmly, so you are not left waiting on a diary check. If your wedding is more than two weeks away we will ask you to confirm the exact timing of the display a few days beforehand, which is when the schedule finally settles. Our crew arrives about 20 minutes before the show to set up.
On weather: we monitor conditions closely and will cancel without charge if wind or the forecast makes the fireworks unfeasible. You do not carry that risk.
How do we get a quote?
Tell us your venue and your date. We cannot quote without the venue, because it determines what we are allowed to fire. The general area is not enough, we need the actual venue or restaurant name.
Email info@skylight.events or call +30 2286 021800. We are also on WhatsApp at +30 69 72 64 38 22. To read further first: the full price list, the fireworks FAQ, and the venue rules.
