Wedding Forum - Hiring chocolate fountains,candy floss...

I would personally probably only use the chocolate fountains. Slushy machines and candyfloss machines would be great for kids if you will be having quite a lot of children at your wedding, but otherwise I don't think they'd get used as extensively as the chocolate fountains x

yes true I'm in two minds still. I'm allergic to normal chocolate but i can have white so thats why i want both fountains, i don't have any kids coming to the wedding but they can make the slushies alcoholic ones and so many of people we know going love alcoholic slushies but then i don't want people get smashed off there faces! the company have quoted us £895 for the lot and that includes the staff from the company staffing all of them.
im in two mind! aaahhh

that was one of my concerns being an overkill with too many things the only reason i liked the idea of it was because iv been to quite a few weddings and i find guests start getting bored after the meals and things start flagging off...so i thought having these might be a bit of a pick me up after a long day and the slushy machine will wake people up a bit lol and i don't want guests leaving early as we've hired a pyrotech company to put on a firework show at 10:30pm so i don't want people leaving and missing that. i went to a wedding saturday just gone and guests starting leaving gone 9pm!! i was like wow thats really early but 9:45pm the place was pretty much empty! from 100 guests down to about 15 it was so bad i felt quite sorry for the bride and groom tbh

Sorry I meant between the three when I said one or the other, I would still probably get white and milk chocolate. I like that you can turn the slushies into alcoholic ones. What month areyou getting married in? I don't know if that could help. I'm getting married in April so would be too cold for a slush for me. X

I agree that having all of them might be overload but think about what you want for the day and if you want all of them then go for it :)

I looked at choc fountain but for 250 i thought to just forget the idea haha

We r only doing evening/night so we are doing our own sweet buffet.. the kady doing our room dressing is setting it up but we r providing everything well my mam is hehe aparently she has some fantastic containers but the whole thing was meant to be a suprise for me(i spoiled it by almost booking one!) So ive said lesve the rest as a suprise



Readin the slushy one i like the sound of that i had pina colada in mexico madr like slush it was the best ive ever had! So id go fir that!

We were going to have an ice cream cart, but changed our minds as we had a wedding late in the day, and people wouldn't have had time to have one, with all the other food

I know what you mean about the chocolate fountains KelBel but I still think they are something that people are still likely to indulge in, and the kids especially would love them.

We're not thinking about having any of this sort of stuff as after canapes (possibly), a 3 course meal, cake and the buffet I don't think there would be any room whatsoever for anything else lol. Loved the idea of having an ice cream cart but there's just no point when there's so much food anyway.

The cookie bar does sound fab though.. and it's nothing too big and like you say, complements the actual buffet itself nicely rather than being 'something extra' on top of everything else x
