Professional Dry Ice Cloud Machine Hire for Weddings, First Dances & Special Events
Create the ultimate "Dancing on the Clouds" effect with the Chauvet Nimbus Dry Ice Low Fog Machine, available for hire from AVFX in Melbourne. The Nimbus is a professional dry ice machine designed to produce thick, white clouds that hug the floor and dissipate naturally without rising, creating a spectacular floating cloud effect for weddings, theatre productions, concerts and special events.

Unlike conventional smoke machines, the Nimbus uses genuine dry ice and hot water to create dense low-lying fog that remains close to the floor. This creates an exceptionally realistic cloud effect that has made the Nimbus one of the most popular wedding and special event effects in the entertainment industry.

The Ultimate Wedding Cloud Effect

- First Dance Effects
- Bridal Entrances
- Reception Reveals
- Cake Cutting Ceremonies
- Grand Entrances
- Wedding Photography
Dry Ice Technology
The Nimbus uses heated water and genuine dry ice to create fog. As the dry ice sublimates, it produces dense carbon dioxide fog that remains cold and naturally stays close to the floor rather than rising through the venue. This creates one of the most impressive low fog effects available.
Adjustable Output Control
An integrated multi-level control arm allows operators to adjust both output volume and flow rate, making it possible to create anything from a subtle floating cloud to a dense room-filling floor fog effect.
Nimbus vs Cumulus
AVFX offers both the Chauvet Nimbus and Chauvet Cumulus:
Nimbus
- Uses genuine dry ice
- Produces extremely dense clouds
- Traditional wedding cloud effect
- Approximately 6 minutes runtime per load
Cumulus
- No dry ice required
- Uses low fog fluid and water
- Continuous operation
- Faster setup and operation
Both systems create spectacular low-lying cloud effects, but the Nimbus remains the benchmark for traditional dry ice cloud effects.
