Dry Ice Fog Machine Rental
Our fog machine is specially designed to produce a thick, white fog that hugs the floor and stays low, creating a dreamy “cloud-on-the-dance-floor” effect.
Imagine your first dance, anniversary celebration or grand entrance — you and your partner gliding on a soft layer of mist, with the lights reflecting off the fog, creating an unforgettable photo and video moment.
Floor-hugging fog effect: Unlike standard fog that rises, the Nimbus creates a low-lying fog that stays around the floor — perfect for that “walking on clouds” look.
Professional, powerful build: It uses dual heating elements so you get faster heat-up and recycle times — meaning less waiting and smoother operation.
Safe & controllable: Built-in low-water and temperature sensors add safety. You get adjustable multi-level control over output and flow so you can match the effect to your venue and moment.
Big visual impact: This is a show-piece device — when it runs, guests will talk about the look, the feel and the dramatic visual it brings. It elevates any wedding, event entrance, performance or dance floor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What exactly does “low-fog” or “dry ice fog” mean?
A: It means that the fog created is designed to stay near the floor, rather than waft up toward the ceiling. In the case of the Nimbus, the machine is a dry-ice compatible unit that produces dense fog that remains low. zZounds
Q: Is it safe for indoor use at a wedding venue or ballroom?
A: Yes — the Nimbus has built-in safety features such as a low-water sensor and temperature sensor. It is designed for professional event use. That said, you should always confer with your venue’s fire/safety regulations and ensure the floor surface and space are suitable. zZounds
Q: How quickly does it heat up and how long does the fog last?
A: With the dual-element configuration, it heats more quickly than a single-element version. According to the specs: heat-up time ~30 minutes (dual), average runtime ~6 minutes (based on ten lbs dry ice) and re-heat time ~15 minutes. zZounds
Q: Will the fog trigger fire alarms or sprinklers?
A: In many cases, low-lying fog is considered safe and non-smoke‐producing if used correctly. However, each venue has its own regulations. It’s important to check with the venue’s fire marshal or facility manager — especially if the event space uses sensitive detectors or has strict no‐fog policies.
Q: What kind of surface is best for the “cloud” effect?
A: A smooth, clean floor surface works best so the fog can spread out evenly. A dark floor surface will tend to make the low-fog more visually distinct; reflective surfaces can enhance the effect.
Q: Can I rent it just for a short time (e.g., for 5 minutes during the first dance)?
A: Absolutely. Because this type of machine is designed for short-burst dramatic moments, you can coordinate the timing with your DJ or event scheduler so the fog is released exactly when the cameras are rolling and the guests are watching.
Q: Are there any limitations or things we should know?
A: Yes. Because it uses dry ice and water, there’s some planning involved:
You’ll need to ensure your operator knows how to load and run the machine properly.
Because the fog stays low, you want to make sure the area isn’t obstructed with furniture or trip-hazards.
The effect is best visualized in moderate lighting — too bright overhead light may wash out the fog effect; uplights or side lighting help.
Check your venue’s policy on dry-ice fog machines — some may require additional insurance or a certified operator.
