Fantastic Show!

The firework show for our wedding was phenomenal. The guests were very impressed with this caliber of production. We can not say enough how much we enjoyed working with Ryan. He was thorough and professional. He followed-up in a timely manner, was on time and delivered a picture perfect show. If you hire Ryan you will not have to stress about the accountability of him as a vendor. He will exceed your expectations!

Something your guests will never forget!

Amazing fireworks show!! We suddenly had to move our date to July 4th due to COVID quarantine and really wanted to incorporate the holiday into our wedding. Even though that is the biggest day of the year for their team, enough parties had cancelled that we were fortunate enough to get the premier fireworks vendor in Virginia. They did not disappoint! We chose the 10-minute fireworks show and it was breath-taking. We were extremely happy with it, as was our venue of The Barn at Edgewood. We truly feel like the fireworks send-off was a dream-like experience and the value of the fireworks exceeded the cost

Fireworks Wedding at Barn

I reached out to a few fireworks vendors for my sister's wedding. Ryan responded promptly and positively. He reached out to the venue and drafted the contract. He coordinated everything. I didn't even notice they had to change locations at the last minute because he handled everything without me or the bride! Ryan was stellar and per the bride, the fireworks finale was "the best I've ever seen"

Virginia Skypainters provided fireworks for my daughter's wedding. Wayt Gibbs quickly and patiently responded to my questions and concerns as we discussed the options for the shoot. We wanted the fireworks to be a surprise for the newly weds and Wayt worked diligently with our wedding planner to set up the shoot without attracting attention during the ceremony or reception. The crowd loved the show and my daughter and son-in-law said it was one of the best surprises ever. Virginia Skypainters' pricing was the most competitive in Charlottesville area and the quality of the show was beyond our expectations.

Centennial Hunt Ball

Ryan is very professional and easy to work with. Prior to the event he came for a site visit and then planned the fireworks show. They were spectacular and all the guests loved it! I definately would use Virginia Skypainters again and highly recommend him to others.

Va Skypainters exceeded our expections with the fireworks our daughter's wedding. The quality of the show was top notch although the cost was among the most reasonable we found in the Charlottesville area. Wayt Gibbs went to great effort to keep the show a surprise for the bride and groom and they felt the shoot was one of the big highlights of the evening. Our guests were awed by the duration and variety of the fireworks. Thanks guys for helping make this evening so memorable.
