in Orlando

From Disney theme parks to the Kia Center, ICON Park, and the Dr. Phillips Center — Imperial Pyro has been engineering fireworks and special effects across Orlando since 2018, when we fired our very first show at a wedding in Clermont, FL. We are not just serving Orlando. We are already here.

Where It All Started

Ever After Estate, Clermont, FL — 2018

Our very first fireworks show was a wedding at the Ever After Estate in Clermont — just 30 miles west of Orlando. That single show in 2018 launched everything that followed: Disney installations, arena effects, stadium shows, and recurring client relationships across Central Florida.

+ additional venues and private events across Central Florida

Why Orlando Trusts Us

We did not just start a fireworks company.
We came from inside the parks.

Before founding Imperial Pyro in 2018, Jack Lambert spent years working inside the theme park and entertainment industry in Central Florida. That means when Disney, the Kia Center, or the Dr. Phillips Center calls us, they are not gambling on an outside vendor. They are working with someone who has operated show control systems, maintained entertainment equipment, and run pyrotechnics from the inside.

We understand venue protocols, safety cultures, load-in schedules, and what it takes to run effects reliably day after day. That insider experience is why our systems are in daily operation at Disney attractions and why we keep getting called back.

Your Central Florida Team

Based in Palm Coast. Working across Central Florida since 2018.

Imperial Pyro & Special Effects is headquartered in Palm Coast, Florida — about 90 minutes northeast of Orlando via I-95 and I-4. But proximity is just the start. We've been actively working in Orlando for years — with recurring clients at Disney, Reunion Resort, the Kia Center, and the Dr. Phillips Center.

When you hire Imperial Pyro for an Orlando event, you're not getting a company that's never worked in the market. You're getting a crew that knows Orange County permitting, has relationships with venue management across the city, and has systems running in daily operation at Disney's theme parks.

Orlando Events

The moments that define Orlando — powered by pyrotechnics.

Orlando hosts some of the world's most spectacular events. Here's how our effects elevate each one — including several we're already doing.

Public Holiday Confirmed

Independence Day & New Year's Eve

We're already the fireworks provider for Reunion Resort and ICON Park for both Independence Day and New Year's Eve. These are Orlando's signature holiday celebrations — and we deliver them year after year. We can do the same for your venue, community, or event.

Festival Confirmed

Fusion Fest

We provided colored smoke effects for Fusion Fest — Orlando's multicultural festival celebrating the city's diverse communities. Festival effects require rapid deployment, crowd-safe positioning, and vibrant visual impact. We deliver all three.

Performing Arts Confirmed

The Nutcracker — Central Florida Ballet

Stage pyro and fog for Central Florida Ballet's The Nutcracker since 2021 — performed at Chapin Theater (inside OCCC) and now at Steinmetz Hall at the Dr. Phillips Center. Theatrical productions demand precision cueing, venue-specific safety compliance, and effects that enhance storytelling without disrupting the performance.

Sports Confirmed

Orlando Solar Bears — Team Entrance

We developed a custom fog, light, and truss system for the Orlando Solar Bears (ECHL) team entrance at the Kia Center. Sports team entrances demand synchronized, high-impact effects that fire on cue — and we engineer systems that perform reliably, game after game.

Conventions

Conventions & Corporate Events

The Orange County Convention Center hosts 200+ events and 1.5 million attendees annually — including the Chapin Theater where we've delivered Nutcracker stage pyro. Cold sparks, CO₂ reveals, and stage pyrotechnics add production value to keynotes, product launches, and awards galas — all safe for indoor convention environments.

Weddings & Private Events

Weddings, Galas & Proposals

From luxury resort weddings at Reunion Resort to the very first show we ever fired — a 2018 wedding at Ever After Estate in Clermont — to intimate gerb fountain proposals at Holden Lakes — we scale to any celebration. Cold spark first dances, fireworks finales, and elegant atmospheric effects transform Orlando celebrations into unforgettable moments.

Our Process

From concept to final cue — handled.

We work as an extension of your team, handling every detail required to deliver safe, reliable, and impactful effects for your Orlando event. It's the same process we use for Disney, the Solar Bears, and the Dr. Phillips Center.

01

Design & Engineering

Every project begins with a site-specific approach. Effects are engineered to fit your venue, audience proximity, and the unique characteristics of Orlando locations — from convention center indoor clearances to theme park daily-operation reliability.

02

Permitting & Compliance

We manage all permitting and coordinate with Orange County Fire Rescue, the City of Orlando Fire Department, the OCCC safety team, and other authorities. Every effect is fully compliant with local, state, and federal requirements.

03

Installation & Execution

Experienced operators, precision timing, and professional show control. Our theme park and arena experience means we understand large-venue logistics, load-in schedules, and multi-crew coordination.

04

Ongoing Support

For permanent systems like IFS, we provide maintenance, inspections, and long-term support to keep effects running reliably — whether it's a one-time event or a daily-operation installation at a theme park.

Client Spotlight
“We hired Imperial Pyro and Special Effects to produce the fireworks for our Light Up I-Drive Independence Day Celebration. Jack and his team made the process very easy from start to finish. They handled all permits and provided a site visit with the local officials and our staff. The crew that was sent to do the fireworks were trained professionals and had the satisfaction of our show and safety of our guests and staff their top priority. The fireworks were amazing and all of our guests left with a smile on their faces! I highly recommend Imperial Pyro and Special Effects.”

FAQ

Orlando Fireworks — Answered

Do you provide fireworks for events in Orlando, FL?
Yes — and we've been doing it for years. Imperial Pyro provides recurring fireworks for Reunion Resort (Independence Day and New Year's Eve since 2024). We also produced 4th of July and NYE fireworks at ICON Park through 2019. We have delivered fireworks shows at Orlando Speed World. We also provide stage pyro, fog, cold sparks, flame effects, CO₂ jets, confetti, and permanent installations throughout Orlando and Central Florida. We're based in Palm Coast, FL — about 90 minutes from Orlando.
Do you have experience with Orlando theme parks?
Extensively. Our Intelligent Fog System (IFS) is in daily operation at Disney's Hollywood Studios (Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular) and Disney's Animal Kingdom (Kali River Rapids). We've also supplied gear and consumables to Legoland Florida in Winter Haven since 2024, with the consumable relationship continuing through the 2025 season. Our theme park work demands the highest levels of safety, reliability, and creative precision — and that same standard carries into every Orlando event we do.
What Orlando venues have you worked at?
Confirmed Orlando-area venues include: Disney's Hollywood Studios (IFS), Disney's Animal Kingdom (IFS), Kia Center (Solar Bears team entrance system), ICON Park (Blue Man Group stage fireproofing, July 4th & NYE fireworks through 2019), Reunion Resort (July 4th & NYE fireworks since 2024), Orange County Convention Center / Chapin Theater (Nutcracker stage pyro), Dr. Phillips Center / Steinmetz Hall (Nutcracker stage pyro), Orlando Speed World (fireworks), Fusion Fest (colored smoke), Holden Lakes (private event), and Ever After Estate in Clermont (our very first show — a 2018 wedding). We also work across Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach, and the entire state.
How much do fireworks cost in Orlando?
Fireworks pricing depends on show duration, effect types, venue location, and permitting requirements. Industry benchmarks range from $500–$1,000 per minute for standard displays and $1,000–$2,000 per minute for pyromusicals. A typical 5-minute show starts around $5,000–$7,500, while full-scale 10-minute productions run $10,000–$15,000+. Cold spark rentals, flame effects, and CO₂ jets are typically priced per unit per event. Contact us for a quote tailored to your specific Orlando event.
Can you do indoor effects at the Orange County Convention Center?
Yes — we've already done it. We've delivered stage pyro and fog for Central Florida Ballet's The Nutcracker at Chapin Theater, which is inside the OCCC. Cold spark machines, CO₂ jets, and theatrical fog are all safe for indoor convention environments when properly permitted and operated. We coordinate with the OCCC's safety team and Orange County fire officials to ensure all approvals are in place.
Do you handle permitting for Orlando events?
Yes — permitting and compliance are handled in-house. We coordinate with Orange County Fire Rescue, the City of Orlando Fire Department, the OCCC safety team, and other authorities having jurisdiction. We secure all necessary permits, provide safety documentation, and ensure every effect meets local, state, and federal requirements. For aerial fireworks, we handle FAA airspace notifications — particularly important near Orlando's flight paths.
How far in advance should we book fireworks for an Orlando event?
We recommend booking 6–12 weeks in advance for most events. Major holidays like July 4th and New Year's Eve, convention center galas, and stadium events should be booked further in advance due to high demand and complex permitting timelines. Rush bookings may be possible depending on availability.
Where is Imperial Pyro located relative to Orlando?
Imperial Pyro & Special Effects is headquartered in Palm Coast, Florida — approximately 86 miles northeast of Orlando via I-95 South and I-4 West, about a 90-minute drive. Despite the distance, we've been working across Central Florida since 2018 — our very first show was a wedding in Clermont — with recurring clients at Disney, Reunion Resort, the Kia Center, and the Dr. Phillips Center. We're a Florida-based company serving Orlando, Daytona Beach, Jacksonville, and the entire state.
Who is behind Imperial Pyro, and what is your theme park background?
Founder Jack Lambert spent years working inside the Central Florida theme park industry before launching Imperial Pyro in 2018. He worked on the pyrotechnics, theatrical services, and entertainment maintenance teams at SeaWorld Orlando, and was an Entertainment Technician in pyro/special effects at Universal Studios Orlando. He was on the opening team at LEGOLAND Florida, where he progressed from Entertainment Technician to Area Lead Technician to Entertainment Supervisor. He also served in Show Control and as an Entertainment Technician shipwide at Disney Cruise Line. That insider experience is why Disney, the Kia Center, and the Dr. Phillips Center trust Imperial Pyro with their effects — we understand venue protocols, safety cultures, and the operational demands of daily-run attractions from the inside.
