The Palace Brides Fireworks?

I looked at The Palace at Somerset Park and loved the fireworks touch. However it comes with a hefty price tag. I was wondering if anyone had the fireworks and if it was worth it?

We are in the same place.  We LOVED the idea and want them so much for our wedding but their package is just a bit too much for what we would like to spend.  I tried to contact The Palace to see if  their was any wiggle room but their didn't seem to be.

We agree the fireworks are a great touch but are a bit pricey.

Yea it seems it's just that one package. I was told it is a 15 minutes Macys-fireworks type show, using 2000 fireworks. Apparently it's a go big or go home type deal.

We were told its the permits for franklin township that bring the cost up so much.

We liked the idea for the 5 seconds it took our eyes to get to the next line with the price. However, I heard they are quite grand if you can swing it. Maybe negotiate other things to allow for the fireworks?

Just curious, how much do they charge?

When we got married, there were two packages and the big one was upwards of $2,500. Not sure what they are now.

As of our most recent inquiry the smallest package was just shy of 6,000!  We originally said we could budget about half of that possibly but its just such a big bulk of money that we are having so much trouble justifying it!

Hi Ladies,

The Palace was one of the very first venues we visited when looking - it is magnificent and gorgeous!!! I just wanted to add in a small note about the fireworks - we were told that they are on a "first come - first serve basis" 

For example: if there are 2 weddings happening on 1 day - if the 1st bride ordered the firewords - then it seems like the 2nd bride gets the same show for free Only because you really cant control the fireworks to a limited part of the sky - so therefore - yes it will be more predominant for the bride that paid persay - but the 2nd bride that day will be able to see the same fireworks also. I don't know how exactly i would feel about that - but hey we ended up booking a different venue  Sooo my recommendations is to go 50/50 with any other bride getting married that same day or just get married on july 4th or if some lucky gals out there have a nice budget then splurge the 6 grand and enjoy the amazing show

Ps my FH went to a wedding at the palace a few years ago and still raves about the food!!!

Good luck with the planning!!!

I believe that $6000 is before the plus plus. Our photographer said the same thing about if the other bride has fireworks to get pictures with it. Unfortunately July 4 brides or hat weekend cannot have them. They said its not available,

We were told it is $7500.
