Chocolate Fountains on Wedding Receptions

That is so cool. Cruise ships are already romantic in every sense and seeing a chocolate fountain in it would be totally awesome. The first time I saw a chocolate fountain was on one of the featured celebrity weddings here in our country and theirs was totally big. It was like one of their main attraction to their wedding reception. Then since last year, most of the weddings I've been attending to have them on their receptions and I just loved dipping almost anything on the table just to see how they tasted with chocolates. Fruits, biscuits and marshmallows are the best.

The special lighting sounds like it would just top the whole experience off. I would love to take a cruise.

LOL GG this was my first time and although I am not such a chocolate fan, you should have seen me dripping over the table. In fact my boyfriend had to keep wiping the chocolate off because it looked like I had a chocolate mustache.

That is so funny hardworkinggurl. Just last Saturday, I attended my friend's wedding and enjoyed the chocolate fountain. While I was about to take a bite of the chocolate-coated biscuit, one of the biscuit sticks fell on the floor. Good thing though the chocolate didn't ruin my dress or my shoes.

I have two daughters, and for two consecutive years, I did bring them, and later fetched them, to several debuts. Crazy time. I did set a ten kilometer radius for debut venues. Farther than that, I told my daughters to give a no to the RSVP. For two years, I heard about all kinds of fondue preparations instead of the menu on the main meal. Sigh! I think the young people enjoyed more the flowing chocolate fountain while talking, dancing, and what not...

Hi there! Thanks for the comments. I just researched what fondue is and realized that it is the proper term for the so-called chocolate fountain and French in origin. Thanks for the info. The fondue can also be seen on big birthday parties and they are sort of a trend as well on debuts, not only on weddings. I haven't been to any debut lately but I've seen pictures with fondue on their parties.

I think it usually comes with the package and if the wedding reception is to be catered or held at a hotel's ballroom or reception area, they usually serve chocolate fountain. You're one pretty rare person to not like chocolates. In my case, I can't resist the temptation of eating chocolates.

Isn't it romantic to have chocolate fountains on your wedding day. It's like it's telling us that the couple is overflowing with love and sweetness. I really find it so romantic. Nice to know that you like biscuits coated with the chocolate drippings of the choco fountain.

I agree that the chocolate fountain can be a little messy for kids, even for some careless adults. Still, it would be really good on weddings and it would be great if someone could make sure that the kids are not putting too much chocolate and dipping too much as well.

Hi cream97! Chocolate fountains are like water fountains but smaller in structure of course. So many variety of food can be coated with chocolate such as fruits like strawberries, grapes and bananas and some biscuits and even marshmallows. Usually, we are given short sticks where we stick whatever fruit you want and just let it catch the dripping chocolate from the chocolate fondue.

Yup! I usually see it on wedding receptions lately. It's actually a good idea. I am a chocolate lover and I really craved for the chocolate coated marshmallows and fruits.

Good point. I quite agree with you. I think the chocolate fountain should go with the theme and arrangement of the whole setting. It shouldn't look pretentious rather it should capture the eyes of the guests in a cool way, adding the ambiance of romance with its presence.

It might be kinda messy for kids but the last time I attended a wedding, there were lots of kids around the fountain. It was good that one of the caterers were there to assist the kids if adults were not around. I felt like a kid getting so excited with the chocolate fondue. It was fun.

A good question! Hahah. But I think their focus were more with the children especially since they have more the tendency to make a mess.

are you sure they didnt assist the adults aswell. lol

So true! It's now a trend. Chocolate as an aphrodisiac...hmmm.. cool... Now it makes me wonder, what could be the next trend on weddings after 10 years or so.
