About the show
We are very happy to help turn a normal corporate or large-scale event into an unforgettable evening for all guests and visitors. When it comes to celebrating the marriage of two people and creating memories for two lifetimes, we are of course also there with heart and passion. Just like on June 29, when we amazed a bridal couple and their wedding party in Recklinghausen.

Project description
The request
The request went under the radar as our visit was supposed to be a surprise. The bride and groom's family approached us 4 months before the wedding.
The preparation
Parallel to the approval process, we worked with the family to coordinate the motifs and the interplay with the music for the bride and groom. In addition to typical wedding motifs, such as doves or rings, personal messages also found their way into the choreography.
For private events, it is particularly important to organise a suitable place for take-off and landing to ensure the safety of all participants and visitors. Together with the family, we defined such an area on a neighbouring property and set it up and cordoned it off on the day of the show without the bride and groom's knowledge. A few weeks beforehand, as with all our other shows, we organised the necessary clearance from the Federal Aviation Authority.
The realisation
The external conditions must also be right for the realisation of a drone show. Two things are particularly important here. Firstly, the drones need a suitable place and surface for take-off and landing. Secondly, the weather must of course also play along.
On this day, the ground was not ideal for take-off and landing. We are prepared for such an eventuality and always have our mobile take-off and landing platforms with us. Each drone has its own wooden platform to ensure it is stable when flying into the air and back again.
Unfortunately, the rainy weather meant that we had to be patient. We had already set up our fleet and were ready to go, but had to pack up again due to a thunderstorm front. In consultation with the family, we postponed the show. Cancelling the show was not an option for us because we really wanted to take off on this special day. Unfortunately, it can generally happen with every drone show that it has to be cancelled due to the weather. However, this happens extremely rarely. Of course, we try to react flexibly to the conditions on such days, which worked in this case despite the occasional heavy thunderstorm.
The conclusion
Weddings are always a special occasion and we are always happy to make our contribution to unforgettable moments on such special days. Our show was a successful surprise for both the bridal couple and the wedding party. After the show, we received a lot of praise from all sides. Of course, we are very pleased about this, as we were able to make this evening even more special.
