Chocolate Fountain Information and Tips
Chocolate fountain? Just the words bring about grandiose ideas. It sounds, well, perhaps to good to be true. However, if you have seen a chocolate fountain at a recent wedding or engagement, you know that they are a wonderful reality.
Chocolate fountains are fast becoming one of the hottest items on the wedding and party scene. From small intimate affairs to huge, blowout celebrations, they have been popping up everywhere. So, what exactly is a chocolate fountain?
The size of the fountains ranges from 22 to 44 inches in height. They are essentially a large stainless steel structure that takes melted chocolate and presents it in a magnificent manner. Guests take turns dipping various items including strawberries, biscotti, marshmallows, cream puffs and much, much more into the cascading chocolate. However, besides being delicious, chocolate fountains are visually pleasing also. Your guests will truly enjoy the experience.
Besides its obvious appeal as a dessert, the chocolate fountain can also be used as an appetizer. Many of todayﾒs brides have opted to even replace the wedding cake with a fountain ﾖ after all, every one has tried wedding cake, but how about chocolate covered cherries, pineapple, pretzels or even mint sticks!
Various types of chocolate and even other condiments (cheese, barbeque sauce and more) can be ran through the fountains. You can pick from white, dark, flavored or colored chocolates along with everyoneﾒs favorite; milk chocolate.
The fountains range in price from $2200 to $5300, but you can rent them for much less and most companies include an attendant and the chocolate in the price. These same companies generally also set-up and clean the fountain after the event.
When you are planning your next event or your first wedding, consider a chocolate fountain rental to make it even more spectacular. You can find out more about chocolate fountains at www.sweetfountains.com.

My Introduction
Hello, my name is Breein Robey. I am a local senior attending Newport High School. A few years ago I started playing my harp at weddings. Now I am approaching my third year of this journey and have played in over a dozen weddings. I love playing at weddings because it gives me a sense of appreciation. Also it is amazing that I can be involved in such a special event. Yes I am a young musician, but I have determination and passion in the music I play.
