Weddings are full of rituals, emotions, and once-in-a-lifetime memories. But every now and then, a couple wants to take things one step further to capture a moment so powerful, guests will still be talking about it years later. For many, that moment comes when the night sky erupts into color and sparks.
At Pyrotex, Texas’ oldest and most trusted fireworks display company, fireworks aren’t just a show, they’re an experience. With over four decades of explosive artistry, this legacy brand brings passion, safety, and storytelling into every celebration they illuminate, especially Texas weddings looking for that unforgettable finale.
A Family Legacy Written in the Sky
Pyrotex began in 1979 when founder Randy Beckham, a concert pyrotechnician working with bands like the Bee Gees, David Bowie, and Reba McEntire turned a career pivot into pyrotechnic history. That same year, the Bee Gees’ Staying Alive tour became the company’s first client, launching a legacy that would shape the Texas fireworks industry.
Beyond his impressive resume, Randy helped write the Texas State Fire Code and championed legislation to bring indoor pyrotechnics to the state. When he passed in 2017, Pyrotex transitioned into the hands of a new leadership team Paige McGee, General Manager Derek Willingham, and Production Manager Patrick Mahoffy each dedicated to upholding the same level of professionalism and heart that built the company’s reputation.
Expertise That Goes Beyond the Spark
Creating a firework display is more than just lighting fuses; it's navigating permits, safety regulations, insurance requirements, and highly choreographed timelines.
Every Pyrotex show includes:
- Licensed fire technicians on-site
- Background-checked and annually trained crews (not contractors)
- City/state permits and fire marshal coordination
- $120,000+ annually in insurance coverage
- Crew members covered under workers’ comp
Unlike other companies that outsource staff, Pyrotex employees are trained in-house and treated like family. Many have been with the company for over 25 years. Their dedication shows up in the details from setup to showtime.
More Than Fireworks: Effects That Wow
Pyrotex also offers a range of special effects that elevate your wedding day visuals:
- Cold spark fountains (perfect for grand entrances, cake reveals, or first dances)
- Smoke mines (vibrant colored bursts for daytime ceremonies or photos)
- Confetti cannons, including heart-shaped options
- “Dancing on a cloud” low-lying fog effects
All effects are executed with the same rigor and coordination as their aerial displays, ensuring they blend seamlessly into your wedding timeline, photography, and venue layout.
A Planning Process Built Around You
When couples reach out to Pyrotex, they’re met with guidance, clarity, and a planning partner who truly listens. The process begins with confirming venue compatibility and continues with:
- A detailed proposal packet outlining responsibilities and safety standards
- A style questionnaire covering music, color schemes, and creative requests
- Direct collaboration with planners, DJs, photographers, and videographers to ensure the show is captured beautifully and executed flawlessly
Most wedding shows are three minutes choreographed to a single emotional song though longer shows are available for large-format events.
A Commitment to Safety, Quality, and Storytelling
With over 150 events annually from New Year’s Eve city celebrations to luxury weddings in Austin, Dallas, and Fort Worth Pyrotex delivers spectacular shows that never sacrifice safety or service. Their crews are known for working quietly in the background (“like little ninjas,” as one planner put it), ensuring your guests are focused on the magic, not the mechanics.
