## Summary
DJ Wale provides cold spark machines, CO2 cannons and jets, low-lying fog for first dances and glow sticks for weddings and parties across central Ohio. Effects are timed to the music by the same team running your DJ and emcee, and we confirm venue rules in advance.

## Overview
Effects are the moments guests film: a grand entrance through a wall of cold sparks, a CO2 blast on the drop, a first dance that looks like it is happening on a cloud.

We time every effect to the music, not just switch it on. Cold sparks are not pyrotechnics, and most venues allow them, but we always confirm the rules with your venue first.

## What's included
- **Cold sparks:** Spark fountains for entrances, first dances and cake cutting.
- **CO2 cannons and jets:** Big white blasts on the drop or at midnight.
- **Low fog:** Dancing on a cloud for the first dance.
- **Glow sticks:** Handed out for a late-night glow moment.
- **Timing:** Effects cued by the DJ to the beat.

## Where effects fit
1. **Cold sparks or CO2** (Entrance): For the couple's grand entrance.
2. **Low fog** (First dance): A cloud effect on the dance floor.
3. **CO2** (Peak): Blasts on the biggest drop.

## Venue rules and safety
Cold spark machines produce cool-to-the-touch sparks and are not pyrotechnics, which is why many venues allow them indoors. Low fog and CO2 are also widely used. Some venues still need advance notice or restrict certain effects, so we always confirm the rules with your venue before we plan any moment.

## Timing is everything
An effect only works if it lands on the beat. We plan each effect with your songs: cold sparks on the entrance drop, low fog as your first dance begins, CO2 on the biggest moment of the night, and glow sticks for the last hour.

## Music
Effects land best on a beat drop or a key lyric, and we plan them with your entrance and dance songs.

## Planning tips
- Ask your venue about effects rules early; some need notice or fire marshal approval.
- Pick the songs for your effects moments in advance.
