I love them. I have a little mini one which I always do when ever I have a get together. My cousin had one at her wedding. We had bowls and there was plenty of napkins. No one got in a mess at her wedding. I had my fair share of it. I love them. And like you said, there is somthing for all. :)

i Know im worried about guest walking round looking like a two year old with a face mask! lol x

Most chocolate fountain companies have an attendant and don't let you help yourself

I said Yay!! We are having one... yummy, messy and fun!!!

I would say abit of both haha undecided, I think its a fab idea lots of fun, loads of people hve them, me myself will not we have alot of kids coming and teenagers ahhh I could just see the mess now cringe, I suppose it wouldn't be like that, but I don't think I could run the risk certainly with the amount of kids around eeekkk lol xx

I didn't know that Lisa - that's probably a good idea! Overall Jillybean I'd say the benefits outweigh the potential disadvantages so go for it!!

my niece had a chocolate fountain at her evening reception it was maned by 2 people who helped the kids dip their bits and kept the area clean and tidy, and have to say wasn't much mess at all kids got a bit down them selfs but as they were mostly under 6 at the time it is expected. The bride stayed white all evening 2 of the children were hers but as it was her wedding day her sister kept an eye on her daughters

i said yea! does it really matter if you get chocolate dripping down your chin, if there are some bowls and napkins i don't see if being a problem and make sure that it comes with an attendant or allocate this to a sensible family member

I said yay........but i would make sure people know not to touch you in your dress until their hands are choccy free!!!!

I think my lot would make a right mess so am going for a sweetie table instead :)

I know! never mind a massive bib i'll probably need a massive drip tray lol! dont think i'll fit in my dress at the end of the night either hahaha

I am more for the idea than against, plus theres not going to be that many little'uns running about so might be ok. Some of the adults arent much better tho! haha x

I said nay, although I love chocolate and am a massive chocolate fountain fan I have had expereince of these at a wedding and it really put me off!!
A friend of mine got married in oct and had one instead of a desert. There was a big line as everyone was trying to get at the fountain, lots of people over eating and it was very sickly, plus lots of sticky fingers, messy mouths and spilages. I think if you want one my advice would be to have it as part of your evening reception that people can just help themself to a little bit at a time and have plenty of wet wipes near by to clean mucky faces and hands.

as a teacher I am only going to say 'kiddy fingers' and 'double dipping gross'. Also possible (ehem probable) choccy disaster with dresses and other outfits so I am afraid ney for me. These are all of the reasons why we didnt book one. Plus we then realised it would look odd with our theme anyways as I doubt they had choccy fountains in the 17/1800's haha

I didnt want to vote and run.....i said no
Messy yes, kids dont mix and my fear is more of guests overindulging and feeling ill!!!

i said yay! im having a chocolate fountain and it comes with two attendants which should prevent it from getting messy. If guests dribble it down there chin then i only hope someone is there to catch it on a picture. Its all about a bit of fun isnt it..... the bottom on your dress gets filthy from walking about all day so whats a dribble of chocolate between ya clevage on the night time :0) x

me niece had one her evening reception and i have to say it was pretty good. was loads of kids there but no accidents they had 2 attendants that helped the kids as it was high the little ones couldn't reach to dip them selves with out a step so was no double dipping and they had plates and serviettes so no drips was kept clean and tidy to they were always wiping and refilling x

We're having one! No children at the wedding (except one 8 month old and the 2 year old flower girl who will be closely watched by her parents) so I'm confident there will be few issues.

Bridetobe, we saw that on a few n we're actually thinking about having a red or black! think it'll look epic especially when its the night time and the lights are on!

lmao @ antonia, chocolate on the clevage! hahaha defo need to get the attendants hooked up with a few disposable cameras lol x

all i can say is...YUMMY

i voted nay because of the mess they make and the fear i'd have over the kids getting into it and tipping it over/sticking their hands in it/putting objects in it

they are great fun, but i also hate the thought of eating 'dirty chocolate' (it's the same chocolate going round and round) and i think i would die off if i found a fly or something it in. bleugh...i've just put myself right off it now...sorry lol

I would love one, with white chocolate so as not to make a mess. I do have a small one which would be fine for us 24 people, but I am not sure the venue would allow me to bring my own, and theirs is a huge one that probably wouldnt even be worth striking up for 24 of us.....

H2B really wants one, but we have two young children (ages 4 and 2) and between us we have 8 neices and nephews, 6 of which are under 5... I just have horrific visions of them getting chocolate hands on my wedding dress!

I sampled a choc fountain at a wedding show........it was my best friends wedding and I wad MOH......I feel I dud my duty in helping her decide to get one, when the stick snapped with heavy short bread on it and went all down my front!! Lol x

i love chocolate fountains :)

I absolutely LOVE choc fountains - the ones the have in thorntons are sooo yummy! Id have one if I could afford it :-)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I am thinking of getting 3 normal ones from the eBay and some different hieght blocks to put them and and doing it ourselves! Reckon it wuld be much cheaper than hiring, And I can ask the venue staff to watch it for me, they are very very good! I went to a wedding with a chocolate fountain and it was amazing! Marshmallows, shortbreads, Strawberries & Fudge all really cheap.

I reckon I can set up 3 with different choccies all the stuff for £50

Then will just sell them on after!
