Fireworks and Sparklers
Switzerland regulates fireworks by canton and sometimes by individual commune, so the operators on this list handle the permit themselves instead of leaving a couple to untangle local rules in a country they don't live in. It's one of the shortest lists here, and the most tightly tied to a single moment: a sparkler line for guests to send the couple off through, or a short display timed to a first dance or the very end of the night rather than run alongside it. Curfews on noise and timing are usually set by the venue as much as by the operator, and both are worth checking before the display gets booked rather than after.
