Spread the cost with a payment plan

Don't forget that people really do love chocolate fountains and they also keep your guests entertained while they are waiting for the evening party to get going. Don't get sucked in and go for the really cheap(unattended) chocolate fountains as you are asking for trouble as unattended fountains are a dissaster waiting to happen. if there is no one to supervise your chocolate fountain people can mess around and get chocolate everywhere which could leave you with a considerable cleaning bill.
Some venues are now offering chocolate fountains as part of a package deal making you think that you are having a good deal, remember there is nothing for nothing in this life and you will be paying for it somehow, leave it to the full time professional companies as we always depend on word of mouth feedback for future bookings which means that evry single booking is just as important as the next booking or previous booking.
Hopefully only once you'll have to book things for your special day so ensure that you have chosen a well established and well respected company like ourselves. Do your research and look online for testimonials about your chosen company to establish that they are a reputable company. Also check that they have public liability insurance in place, food hygeine certificates and that the fountains have been electrically PAT tested. some companies can offer you much cheaper fountain packages because they are doing it on the cheap and do not have those things in place. you should also ask what chocolate is being used in the fountain, it should be a quality Belgian couverture chocolate such as Callebaut, which is specially made for chocolate fountains. There are much cheaper chocolates out there being used but Callebaut is truly delicious but it is also very expensive.
Don't compromise your big day, there is always a way! ask about a payment plan today... call us now on 01554 778516
