Licensed and Permitted Fireworks at Runnymede in Charleston, South Carolina At Sky High Pyrotechnics & Fireworks, we believe every fireworks company should earn opportunities through professionalism, safety, experience, and the quality of its displays—not by attempting to interfere with another licensed operator. During a recent wedding fireworks display at Runnymede in Charleston, South Carolina, Michael Dudley of Black Powder Pyrotechnics allegedly contacted a local law-enforcement officer after his company was not selected for the event. We understand that his company had previously provided fireworks at this venue. From our perspective, the contact appeared intended to create problems or raise questions about our authority to produce the display. Sky High Pyrotechnics & Fireworks had obtained the required legal permits and approvals for the fireworks display, including authorization through the South Carolina State Fire Marshal’s permitting process. We arrived prepared, properly documented, and committed to conducting the event safely and legally. We respect the responsibilities of law enforcement, fire officials, venue management, wedding planners, and everyone involved in protecting the public. We are always prepared to provide our permits, licenses, insurance documents, site plans, and safety information when requested. Competition is part of business. Runnymede, the wedding planner, and the client had the right to select the fireworks company they believed was best suited for their celebration. When Sky High Pyrotechnics & Fireworks is chosen for an event, we take that responsibility seriously. Our focus remains on: • Protecting the wedding couple, their guests, and the venue • Following state and local fireworks requirements • Coordinating with the appropriate fire officials • Maintaining proper licensing and insurance • Producing a safe and unforgettable fireworks display This experience demonstrates why venues and clients should hire a professional fireworks company that completes the permitting process before show day. Proper preparation protects the client, the venue, the audience, and every professional involved in producing the event.
