A newly married couple's first dance is a magical moment, even without special effects.
However, for a truly unique and surreal first dance, consider an effect known as “Dancing in the Clouds.”
This effect involves the operation of a dry ice fog machine, enveloping the dance floor in a thick layer of low-lying fog.
Hurricane Productions has extensive experience operating this technology; this ensures flawless execution.
The fog typically sits between ankle and knee height, giving the appearance that you are dancing in the clouds.
As seen in the video above, it also makes photo and video footage look absolutely incredible. To get more information about this feature or to check our availability, please contact us using this short form.
