Frequently asked questions about drone shows

Prices of drone shows can be dependent on multiple factors, such as the amount of drones required or how long the show will last for. It's best to get in contact with us, so we can provide you with more specific information on prices.

Most drone shows last between 10 and 12 minutes, which provides an engaging experience for audiences. We can deliver longer performances, with some shows lasting up to 24 minutes.

The number of drones depends on your budget and the complexity of the visuals you would like to create. While we can deliver displays featuring over 1,600 drones, most UK events achieve impressive results with between 100 and 200 drones.

Yes. Our drone shows can be fully synchronised to your chosen soundtrack, with the drone animations and movements choreographed to the music. Whether it’s a favourite song, wedding track or something meaningful to your event, we can design the show around it.

Yes, in fact we specialise in design. We can create custom logos, branding, messages, characters, and animated storytelling sequences to help communicate your message and engage your audience. Every show we complete is freshly designed just for you and is fully customisable and everything is designed 100% in-house.

Absolutely. Before your show, we provide detailed 3D renders of the designs so you can see exactly how the animations will look before the event. Our renders are designed to give you a realistic representation of the finished show, allowing you to review and approve the designs before we take to the sky. Below is a video taken directly from our social media, to show you the similarities between the render and the real thing!

Yes. We offer hybrid drone and firework displays, including pyro drone shows, allowing you to combine the creativity of drone technology with traditional pyrotechnic effects.

Our drones are designed to operate in a range of weather conditions and can tolerate winds of up to 37 km/h. While severe weather may occasionally require a postponement or cancellation, weather-related disruptions are relatively uncommon.

Drone shows are designed with safety as a top priority. We use professional grade Verge Aero drone technology and follow strict operational and safety procedures to ensure the show is carried out safely. Our experienced team carefully plans every flight around the venue, audience and surrounding environment.

We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly for peak event periods. This allows sufficient time for planning, permissions, creative development, and any custom animation work required for your event.

Star Symphony takes care of all the permissions required to operate a drone show, so our clients don’t need to. Depending on the location, these can include operational authorisation from the relevant aviation authority, permission from airports or other authorities if the show takes place within restricted airspace, and a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) to notify other airspace users of the planned drone operation. We assess all of these requirements as part of our planning process and handle the necessary applications on your behalf.

The amount of space required depends on the number of drones and the show design. Many clients are surprised by how little space is needed. We assess every venue individually and advise on suitability during the planning process.
