Fantastic Fireworks are as good as their name. I recently photographed their 25th Anniversary display and having seen many displays at events over the years, I wouldn't hesitate in stating that this is one of the finest I've seen, choreographed to music superbly well by an incredibly professional team. Well done to Jon and his crew. Anyone seeking an impressive firework display for their event should contact Jon before going anywhere else. You won't get better.
