After you and your guests are done tearing up the dance floor, it’s time for you and your new partner to make an exit as grand as your wedding. There are many different ways to have an unforgettable exit that sets the tone for your start as a married couple. Whether you choose to leave in a classic car, have a dazzling fireworks show, or even lift off in a helicopter, the choice is yours!
What could be cooler than being escorted in a classic car like a vintage Corvette? As you make your grand exit, leaving in a old-school car sends the message that your love is also timeless.
The Hillside Estate has had many classic car sendoffs, and they’ve all been big hits! You could also tie on some cans and add a “just married” sign to the back of the car for a fun touch.
If classic cars aren’t your style and you want a more dramatic exit, consider adding fireworks or cold sparks to give your wedding day a little more oomph.
Both fireworks and cold sparks definitely have that “wow factor” that a lot of brides are looking for. We have a company that we exclusively work with, called Pyrotex. We trust them to give you a stunning, safe show that your guests won’t soon forget.

If you’re unfamiliar with cold sparks, they are sparkling flames that are cold, minimal smoke, and non-flammable. Pyrotex will arrange all the safety and permits for cold sparks or fireworks show, so you won’t have to worry about a thing! Cold sparks can be so gorgeous for those couples who want to make their exit in an impressive way.

Have you ever seen a couple make their grand exit on a helicopter? If you haven’t, it’s really a sight to see. There isn’t any exit more dramatic, and frankly, cool, than taking off in a helicopter in front of all your guests. If you’re interested in an exit like this, definitely reach out to us at The Hillside Estate so we can make this dream a reality!

To finish off our list is one of our personal favorites… the iconic outfit change. This is a more traditional idea than some of our other suggestions, but you can’t beat a classic. It used to be trendy for women to change out of their gowns into a pant or skirt suit. Nowadays, it’s super popular for our brides to change into a shorter dress, jumpsuit, or even pajamas, after their ceremony. For an extra level of comfort or style, you should consider debuting a fun, unique look for your reception or grand exit.

While these are all great options for a grand exit, remember that this is your day and you don’t have to add anything that you don’t want to. Your wedding will be so special, with or without all these bells and whistles. If any of these options do sound interesting to you, though, please contact us at Hillside to see how we can assist in executing this flawlessly for you!
