Frequently Asked  Questions About Our Chocolate Fountains

Does The Chocolate Fountain Use Real Chocolate?

Yes, we use a high quality Belgian Coverture Chocolate.

How Much Chocolate Do You Provide?

Our pricing includes for the medium fountain 20 pounds of chocolate and the small fountain 10 pounds of chocolate. We offer additional chocolate in 10 pound increments at $75.00 per 10 pounds.

How Many People Will The Chocolate Fountain Serve?

The medium fountain is normally adequate for up to 300 people and the small fountain up to 75 people.

Do I Have To Set Up, Tear Down & Clean Up The Chocolate Fountain?

Fortunately, we do all the work for you. We will arrive at your special event at least 30 minutes prior to the designated starting time. The fountain will then be carefully set up and the chocolate will be melted and flowing elegantly so your guests will smell the sweet aroma of chocolate when they begin to arrive. We then will clean up and dismantle The Chocolate Fountain when our time has ended. You will only have to enjoy your party! Our package includes a staff member to attend the fountain if needed.

How Long Can I Have The Chocolate Fountain At My Event?

Our package includes use of The Chocolate Fountain for 3 hours. This does not include set up and tear down, which are done on our time. If needed, additional hours of service at $50 per hour.

What Are The Table & Electrical Requirements?

Since The Chocolate Fountain weighs approximately 100 pounds when full, a level, sturdy table is a must. If it is not level, the chocolate will not flow properly. Your banquet facility should provide two table linens that will coordinate with your color scheme. The Chocolate Fountain requires a 120 volt grounded electrical outlet within 10 feet of the set-up location.

What Accompaniments Can Be Used With The Chocolate Fountain?

Examples would be: strawberries, pineapples, marshmallows, pretzels, crème puffs, cookies, etc. Use your imagination! Please keep in mind that any crumbly-type food that may fall into the fountain will cause the chocolate to get lumpy and not flow properly.  Angel Food and Pound Cake are NOT recommended.  Click here for more chocolate fountain accompaniment ideas.

Who Provides The Accompaniments?

Many hotels and banquet facilities do not allow outside vendors to provide food items - that is either included with your package or an additional item for you to purchase through the banquet facility. Typically your caterer will provide you with accompaniments. We can provide the accompaniments if you wish at an additional cost depending on what items you choose.

Do You Provide The Decorations For Around The Chocolate Fountain?

Absolutely – we can provide an elegant fabric wrap for the base, typically a black tulle to hide any chocolate drippings.  If you would like additional decorations, we will be happy to accommodate you.  You will need to provide the specifics (colors, theme, style, etc.) at time of booking.

Can The Chocolate Fountain Be Used Outdoors?

NO, Because of the chocolate’s sweet aroma, little flying pests are very likely to be attracted to the chocolate. Beyond that, maintaining the temperature of chocolate is critical for continued smooth operation. This would be difficult to accomplish in an outside setting along with any breezes or wind that could spray chocolate everywhere.

What Area Do You Service?

Our pricing includes delivery and set up at any facility located in Orange, Seminole, and Osceola Counties. Service is available outside these Counties but it depends on how far and scheduling restraints. We will also ship one way (chocolate included) for an extra fee and you will be responsible to return at a UPS store for return shipment with insurance. We will provide instructions with the machine on set-up, clean up, etc. It may be best to arrange with your caterer to be in charge of the fountain.

Do You Require Reservations & A Deposit?

Yes, we require a reservation, a signed contract and a 50% deposit at the time of booking. Reservations are limited and are on a first come, first serve basis. The balance of your payment is due at least 14 days prior to the scheduled date of your event.
