'DANCING IN THE CLOUDS' DRY ICE FOR WEDDING FIRST DANCE

 

1. Venue Requirements


  • Indoor use only. CO₂ low fog works best in enclosed spaces with stable air.
  • Flat, unobstructed dancefloor — no steps, ramps, or uneven surfaces where fog could drift unpredictably.
  • No strong airflow — air‑con, open doors, or fans can disperse the effect. (Venue should be able to temporarily switch off or reduce airflow during the first dance.)
  • Smoke alarms. The effect is low fog, not smoke, but venues should confirm if they have optical smoke detectors that may be sensitive. (Most venues are fine; we can advise if unsure.)
  • Power supply — one standard 13A plug socket near the dancefloor for our machine.


 

2. Safety & Operation


  • Fully operated by Kent Event Hire.  Couples and guests never touch or activate the machine.
  • CO₂ is safe - it’s non‑toxic and dissipates quickly.
  • Due to the cold nature of CO2, it can leave a small condensation on the floor for a few minutes after use.
  • Safe around dresses including long trains and veils.
  • Children & guests can be around the effect safely, but we ask that no one crowds the machine area.

 

3. What Couples Need to Know


  • The effect lasts throughout the first dance and up to 10 minutes perfect for the first dance and early photos.
  • It stays low around ankle to knee height, creating the “cloud” look without rising.
  • Your photographer will love it — it enhances lighting and creates stunning silhouettes.
  • Song choice doesn’t matter — works with slow or upbeat first dances.
  • Let us know your first dance time so we can prep the machine in advance.

 

4. What the Venue Needs to Confirm


  • They are happy for CO₂ low fog to be used.
  • Dry Ice is a frozen form of carbon dioxide (CO2) and will not interfere with a venue's smoke alarm system.
  • They can reduce airflow during the effect.
  • They can provide safe access to the dancefloor for setup.
  • They understand the machine will be operated by our trained technician at all times.

 

5. Setup & Logistics


  • We arrive with the machine fully self‑contained — no venue equipment needed.
  • Setup takes 30 - 45 minutes.  This includes allowing the machine to heat up.
  • We position the machine discreetly to keep it out of photos.
  • We coordinate with the DJ, photographer, and venue coordinator to time the effect perfectly.

Bride and groom share a magical first dance surrounded by fog and guests.
