Wedding Drone Shows in Cornwall: A Modern Alternative to Fireworks

Your wedding day deserves a magical ending — something that feels unforgettable, unique, and completely personal.

At Afterglow Drone Shows Ltd, we’re bringing that magic to weddings across Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, and Dorset, with stunning drone light shows that light up the night sky in spectacular, eco-friendly style.

If you’re searching for “wedding drone show Cornwall” or “drone show for weddings UK”, here’s everything you need to know about how drone displays work, what they cost, and why they’re fast becoming the modern alternative to wedding fireworks.

What Is a Wedding Drone Show?

A wedding drone show uses a fleet of illuminated drones that fly in precise synchronisation to create beautiful aerial imagery — from hearts and rings to custom animations and written messages.

Unlike fireworks, drone shows can be personalised, sustainable, and virtually silent, creating a truly emotional and memorable experience for you and your guests.

At Afterglow, our wedding drone shows are designed to fit seamlessly into your evening schedule — whether it’s a surprise after the first dance or the grand finale to your reception.

Why Choose a Drone Show for Your Wedding?

Couples across the South West are choosing drone light shows as a modern replacement for fireworks — and it’s easy to see why:

✨ A Magical, Personalised Experience

Your show can be custom-designed to include your initials, wedding date, or a heart animation in the sky. We can even choreograph the display to your chosen song.

🌍 Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

Our shows are powered by renewable energy and create no smoke, debris, or noise pollution — perfect for eco-conscious weddings or venues with wildlife nearby.

🤫 Low-Noise Alternative to Fireworks

Drone shows are almost silent, making them ideal for venues with noise restrictions or couples who want to avoid startling animals or young guests.

📸 Perfect for Photos and Video

Because the light patterns are precisely choreographed and last longer than fireworks, your photographer or videographer can capture incredible long-exposure shots and cinematic footage.

💡 Flexible and Safe

We work closely with your venue to assess airspace, safety zones, and viewing areas — ensuring your show runs perfectly and safely.

How Much Does a Wedding Drone Show Cost?

The price of a wedding drone show depends on the number of drones, design complexity, and location — but to give you a clear idea:

From £6,500 + VAT for a one-off 50-drone stock show, designed specifically for intimate events and weddings.

This provides a spectacular, choreographed light show using pre-designed animations — offering the best value wedding entertainment while keeping your evening timeline simple.

If you’d like something more personal, we can customise the display to include your initials, names, or a short bespoke message.

Part-customised wedding shows typically start from £8,500 + VAT, while fully bespoke designs — featuring unique animations or themes — start from £12,000 + VAT.

Where Can I Have a Drone Show in Cornwall?

Drone shows can be performed at most outdoor wedding venues in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, and Dorset — including beaches, country estates, and open fields.

Popular Cornish locations where we’ve planned or assessed show feasibility include:

• Trebah Garden

• Polhawn Fort

• Tredudwell Manor

We’ll always carry out a site review and manage any necessary permissions or flight safety checks to make sure your wedding drone show goes ahead smoothly.
