How much space do we need for the show?

The amount of space required depends on the number of drones, the way the show is designed, and safety considerations. Clear airspace and a safe distance between the drones and the audience are essential. Consult with Sky Elements to determine the optimal location for your event.

Planning guide

Custom drone shows for every kind of Salt Lake City event

A drone light show gives Salt Lake City events a large, flexible visual surface without relying on a physical screen. Hundreds of LED-equipped drones can form logos, landmarks, characters, text, and animated scenes, all developed for the audience and flown by an FAA-licensed team.

Bring a custom drone show to live events in Salt Lake City

Basketball, football, soccer, winter sports, festivals, and conventions can use team marks, mountain silhouettes, sponsor creative, and countdown sequences. The result can feel like part of the event rather than an add-on, with the opening, transitions, and finale shaped around the live program.

Holiday and civic drone shows in Salt Lake City

Utah communities use drone shows for Pioneer Day, Independence Day, and New Year events, creating precise symbols above fairgrounds and resort villages without launching burning debris into dry summer conditions. The creative can shift from a patriotic opening to local icons and a sponsor or countdown moment, giving the celebration a beginning, middle, and finish.

Weddings and private-event drone shows in Salt Lake City

From a Park City resort to a private Wasatch foothill estate, a private show can reveal names, dates, monograms, favorite places, and personal symbols. Because the show is custom, the tone can stay elegant, playful, sentimental, or dramatic without borrowing someone else's sequence.

Custom drone creative for Salt Lake City campaigns

For outdoor, technology, finance, sports, tourism, and consumer brands, the sky becomes a large-format storytelling surface. Rather than placing a static logo overhead, the show can animate how a product works, reveal a message, or connect a brand with a local icon.

Planning a flight location across Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Front

Strong sites across Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Front may include a downtown plaza, a ski-resort base area, or a private property along the Wasatch Front. Good visibility is only one part of the decision. Around Delta Center and Rice-Eccles Stadium, we also evaluate airspace, ground control, local restrictions, weather exposure, and event access.
