Hiring a Chocolate Fountain for Your Next Celebration
We all know the potential benefits of chocolate and hiring a chocolate fountain for your next event or party will offer your guests the perfect type of chocolate indulgence.
If you offer a dipping menu of fruit - like strawberries or apple pieces - or even sweets like marshmallows, your guests can help themselves to the perfect nibble. Hiring a fountain can really compliment a buffet or after dinner desert and can act as a real show piece at any event.
Pricing for Hire
Hire prices can all vary and some of the hire companies you contact will also offer other accessories for hire but should still be competitive.
Avoid paying too little for a chocolate fountain, because this can potentially lead to disappointment where the chocolate and dipping food quality can be lower than that of a well appointed and reputable company that uses fine quality ingredients.

Fountain Size & Lighting
 Some fountains and tables will be provided with creative lighting so that the fountain is highlighted. This is great if you plan a modern fountain that will be staged in the evening when your guests are on the dance floor.
Remember to consider the sizes of fountain available. You may wish for a large 50 inch fountain to be a centre piece across a buffet style table or in the centre of the room where you intend to dine formally. Or you may want a smaller fountain to cater for a small private party or for children.
Whatever event or occasion you may be planning, choose the hire company carefully. Select two or three companies to compare, and do make sure that they can tailor their packages to suit your event perfectly.
It may be a classic wedding with a traditional theme where you want the fountain to be a show piece. Or perhaps it’s a lively party with youngsters or children – size and lighting is as important as the quality of ingredients used.
Ask the hire company if they provide the fountain along with it’s very own table. This may be the case with very large fountains, and may mean you have to plan carefully in order to stage the table in it’s own area.
You will need to check that the fountain is supplies with skewers, dipping foods, napkins and plates. This is most likely the case, but it needs to be noted so that you can organise your event properly.
You may expect the bottom end quote to be from around £400 including delivery and setup. Expect to be able to choose from a menu selection, some fountain hire companies will also offer different grades of chocolate so that you completely tailor the hire to suit your good taste!
