Hiring a chocolate fountain

Wardy

Has anyone had any experience with hiring a chocolate fountain for a party?

My husbands 40 next year and we're organising a party, but wanted something different that people would remember and be talking about afterwards.

We live in Birmingham, I don't know if that would make any difference to who we could have (higher delivery charges etc),

Any ideas?

If you want everyone to be talking about it after hire a stripper who can fire ping pong balls they will talk about it for years later

We went to a wedding late last year and they had hired a chocolate fountain for 200 guests. It cost a whopping £500 for four hours!! This was in Plymouth, Devon.

It was very, very nice though...yummy....

I'm sorry i couldn't find it - perhaps it was another forum. if i come across i will drop it on for you.

ELLA

Ive hired one for my wedding in sept and its costing £99.00 per hour so we have decided 2 hours is enough for that price we will have someone come and set it up and keep it running at all times while making sure all my guests have enough fruit and sweets to dip in to it, its a huge fountin and Im really hoping my fellow chocolate lovers will really appreciate it.
