The ceiling-height rule

For the full burst you want roughly 20 feet of clearance — ballrooms, gyms, event halls, and barns usually qualify. In a lower room, aim forward at an angle so the confetti arcs across the space rather than hitting the ceiling.

Why air-powered cannons pass venue rules

Many venues ban 'confetti' picturing glitter, mylar, and dyed tissue that stains. Our cannons fire on compressed air — no CO2 cartridge, no flame — and launch large-piece biodegradable paper that sweeps up in minutes. That's what gets a yes.

Getting venue approval

Ask the coordinator and lead with specifics: compressed-air powered, biodegradable paper confetti, no pyrotechnics, cleans up with a broom. Offer to handle cleanup. Showing them exactly what you're using turns most 'no confetti' policies into a yes.

Cleanup indoors

Large paper pieces are the easy kind — a broom or quick vacuum pass, done in minutes. No glitter residue, no stains on carpet or linens with colorfast paper. See do confetti cannons stain for formal-venue details.
