What happens if the weather is bad on my event date?
If conditions don't allow safe flight (high winds, lightning, low ceiling), we reschedule at no charge to the next available date that works for you. We monitor the forecast for 72 hours leading up to your show and confirm a "go / no-go" 24 hours out.
How far in advance should I book?
Standard packages we can usually accommodate same-week. Signature and Bespoke shows we recommend 3–4 weeks out, especially for weekends. For wedding season (May–October), six weeks lead time is ideal.
What areas do you serve?
Based in Atlanta. We routinely fly across Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, the Carolinas, and Florida. Travel beyond the Southeast is quoted case-by-case. International requests welcome — quoted on a per-trip basis.
Why book SkyWrite instead of a traditional airplane skywriter?
Traditional plane skywriting is beautiful, but most true skywriting quotes rise fast once location, character count, and pilot availability enter the picture. SkyWrite keeps the entry point at $999 and the full Signature show at $1,999, then adds precision, color options, lower-altitude visibility, artwork flexibility, and 4K drone footage with every show.
How long does the message stay in the sky?
Smoke trails are visible for 60–90 seconds depending on wind and humidity. We time the writing so the full message is visible simultaneously for at least 15–20 seconds — long enough for everyone to look up, react, and capture it.
Can you write in colors?
Yes. Standard white, plus pink and blue for gender reveals. Custom colors (corporate brand colors, school colors) are available on Bespoke packages with two weeks lead time.
What's included in the drone footage?
Every package includes 4K aerial footage of your message, edited highlight reels for social, and the raw files. Signature and Bespoke add a multi-camera ground crew, drone-to-drone footage, and a vertical cut for Reels and TikTok.
What's your refund policy?
50% deposit at booking, balance due 7 days before the show. Cancellations more than 30 days out are fully refunded. 30–7 days, deposit is held as credit toward a future booking. Within 7 days, we'll do everything we can to reschedule rather than refund.
Do you fly at night?
Yes — illuminated drone shows are part of our Signature and Bespoke offerings. Night shows require additional FAA waivers (we handle them) and 3+ weeks lead time.
