Watch as wedding goes up in flames after fireworks set off blaze that burns down reception venue

A wedding reception was turned into a blaze when a fireworks fault led to the reception venue burning down.

The fire took place at the Hacienda Benazuza in the city of Zapopan, Mexico, where 300 guests had been celebrating a couple’s big day.

The hall was evacuated and guests were forced to watch the venue go up in flames after a “pyrotechnic fault” set alight a ceiling display.

No one was injured but the reception room was left completely gutted by the fire.

As they celebrate their first dance of the evening, many guests stand in a circle around them, filming on their mobile phones.

Suddenly, guests begin screaming as a fire breaks out on the ceiling before spreading across the room.

The fire consumed large areas of the reception hall and everyone inside was evacuated.

The couple and their guests were forced to watch the building burn down as firefighters tackled the blaze.

A preliminary investigation revealed that the blaze was started by fireworks, but a full inquiry has been launched.
