Mon, 09 Jun 2025 From festivals to weddings: Why drone shows are booming

Light shows involving hundreds and even thousands of drones are becoming big attractions.

* A couple's wedding ceremony was surprised by a drone show featuring between 100-150 drones displaying lights and images.
* The drone show was arranged by the bride's mother with help from the couple's wedding planner, and included personalized messages such as a baseball player hitting a ball (a reference to the groom's love of baseball) and a diamond ring being placed on a finger.
* Drone shows are becoming increasingly popular, with companies offering bespoke displays for events such as weddings, sports games, and festivals.
* Some drone shows can feature thousands of devices, allowing for intricate patterns and animations to be displayed in the sky.
* While some critics argue that drones have a lower "wow factor" than fireworks, they offer advantages such as better control over lighting and synchronization with music.
* The cost of drone shows is still prohibitively expensive for many events, but companies are working to reduce costs by improving efficiency and developing new technologies.
