Who we are

About Light the Night Pyrotechnics

At Light the Night Pyrotechnics, fireworks aren’t just a business — they’re a lifelong passion. Founded in 2016 by Travis Doren, our company was born out of a love for lighting up the night sky and creating unforgettable moments for others.

Travis discovered his passion for fireworks at an early age, working with larger fireworks companies and becoming a member of the Michigan Pyrotechnic Arts Guild. Over time, his hobby turned into a craft — one fueled by artistry, precision, and community spirit.

As his reputation grew, Travis had the opportunity to work on some of Michigan’s most iconic shows, including the Bay City Fireworks Festival, Mackinaw City’s Independence Day celebration, and displays for the Soaring Eagle Casino & Hotel. These experiences helped shape his vision for what a truly memorable show could be — not just loud and bright, but deeply personal and joy-filled.

In 2024, he orchestrated the most meaningful show of his life: his own wedding. Not long after, he helped his family celebrate another milestone by launching a pink firework gender reveal for his daughter, right in his sister-in-law’s backyard.

Fireworks have become a family affair — even his own children have caught the firework bug (though they lovingly call them “boom-booms”).
