Sudden wedding fireworks near our beach hotel at midnight — normal celebration or should we call the desk?
South-coast hotel. Just after midnight a wedding on a nearby lawn set off a burst of fireworks. Windows rattled, baby in the next room cried, then it stopped. Different from overnight drums we read about. Do people usually message the desk, close the balcony, or accept it as a one-off celebration?

Short firework bursts at weddings happen on the coast; they are usually timed and not all-night. Call or message the desk if it feels unsafe or endless — they can tell you whether it is a known event and sometimes offer a quieter room inland side. Earplugs and closing the balcony help for a brief show. This is different from nonstop drums next door. I will not invent a noise curfew hour. One polite call beats stewing until 2am.
Earplugs in, balcony shut, desk said twenty more minutes. It ended. Next time I ask about weekend weddings at booking.
Messaged the desk; they confirmed a wedding lawn and apologized. Show was short. Sleeping now.
