We use premium Couverture
Belgian Chocolate. It does not require the addition of any type of oil because
Couverture is a kind of chocolate that has more cocoa butter than regular
chocolate.
What dipping items can
be used with the Fountain?
Whatever sounds good to
you! Some of the most popular dipping items are bananas, strawberries,
rice crispy treats, pretzels, chocolate sandwich cookies and marshmallows.
How much time will you
need to set up for the event?
We will arrive approximately 1 hour prior
to the starting time listed on your contract to set up.
Can the Chocolate
Fountain be used outdoors?
Our chocolate fountain
is mainly used indoors. You don't want anything flying into your
chocolate.
An outdoor tent with walls may
be an option provided all electrical and table requirements are met.
Location is very important
inside your venue so the fountain won't be affected by air movement, like air
conditioning or heaters. Every care must be taken to ensure that it is draft
free so the unit will maintain its temperature.
How long will you be at
my event?
The initial rental is for 2 hours. Any additional time may be purchased at $25 for each additional 1/2 hour.
(No refunds available for use of fountain less than 2 1/2 hours)
How many people will the
chocolate fountain serve?
Our 16" fountain can be used
for events up to 25 people. Our 19" fountain can be used
for events with approximately 25 to 50 people. Our small (27")
fountain is used for events with 50 to 120 people. Our medium (34") fountain can be used
for events of 120 people and up. However, we will replenish the chocolate*
and any needed dipping items throughout the event.
*Our basic and premier packages
provide 4 lbs. of chocolate for our 16", 6 lbs. of chocolate for our
19" fountain, 10 lbs. of chocolate for our small (27") fountain
and 20 pounds of chocolate
for our medium (34") fountain. If your event requires
more chocolate, we offer you the ability to purchase additional chocolate in
2 pound increments at a price of $15 ($65/10 lbs.)
Are there any table and
electrical requirements?
The table must be very sturdy
(must hold 150 lbs) and level for the fountain to operate properly. Our fountain
requires a grounded, 120 volt electrical outlet with 15 amps within 10 feet of
where the fountain will be located.
Do you require a
deposit?
Yes, we require a $200.00
non-refundable deposit upon receiving your signed contract to reserve your
date. The remaining balance is due 14 days prior to your event. For
the 16" or 19" fountains, payment is due in full at time of contract signing.
Will you customize the
display to match my theme?
Our customary display will be elegant and
tasteful. It will beautifully display the fountain surrounded by all
dipping items, plates and napkins. However, if you'd like to add
additional decorations to the display to coordinate with your theme, we'll be
more than happy to oblige! Call for a quote!
