There’s no doubt that your wedding day will be one of most special and memorable events in your lifetime. We’re all looking for ways to enhance the experience for our guests and ourselves. We hire amazing cars to escort us to and from. We deck out the venue with beautiful flowers. The cake is created to perfection and with a tonne of TLC! And then there’s the first dance.
How do you bring this up a notch? Taking dance classes with your two-left-feet partners or hiring a live band to play your favourite love song are good ideas, but to really stand-out, and more importantly, enjoy an unforgettable first dance, you’ll need the dry ice machine. Here are 4 benefits to having to have this secret weapon at your wedding reception.
1. The Fog Hugs the Floor From A Dry Ice Machine
Think of the dry ice machine as a huge kettle of boiling water. When the freezing dry ice meets the boiling water, a carbon dioxide of cool, thick smoke is created. As this smoke fills the machine, it rushes out of the machine to create the magical effect now renowned for first dances.
This low-lying fog hugs the floor, remaining low at all times and creating something that the typical smoke and haze machine can’t compete with. For more on this, click here!
2. Dancing on a Cloud
Because this machine creates a fog that remains so low, the gas groups together to create a thicker smoke. This makes the Dry Ice machine unique to other effects machine, as the thickness makes it look like something from Hollywood, like you’re actually on a cloud, physically and metaphorically.
3. It Lasts the Mile
Just like the Energizer bunny that keeps running, so too can a dry ice machine. It can run continuously throughout the first dance, ensuring the consistency and thickness of the smoke and effect. When compared to its cousins, it’s no competition. The fog machine will release smoke for 15-20 seconds before it requires a ‘time-out’, and the haze machine will keep running, but at a level that will barely make any smoke noticeable to your guests.
4. It’s Safe with Alarms
The fog released from a dry ice machine is a gas which doesn’t contain particles in the air, unlike it’s smoke or haze machine counterparts. This is important to prevent it rising and hovering around alarms. The last thing you want is your guests running for their life because you’ve set off an alarm, while you’re intimately gazing into the eyes of your new soulmate.
The Verdict
If you’re looking to take things up a notch, and by ‘up a notch’ we mean to cloud nine, then this is your answer! How good was that pun? Not as good as your first dance wedding photos! We’re literally on fire here. We’re out before we set off the alarms because your dry ice won’t.
