Hi fellow brides and brides to be,

Are Chocolate Fountains and Beverage Fountains out of fashion? If not, does anyone have any soures to obtain them for a reasonable price?

Thanks so much!

I don't think they are out of fashion (I think many people havn't yet experienced them still) but from someone who used to work with a caterer -- they are DREADFUL! Chocolate is likely to get EVERYWHERE (no matter how careful guests are) and it is the worst to clean. I would think twice just because I've experience it first hand and wouldn't wish a fountain on my enemy.

That being said, if your heart is set on it, go for it!

I think you should make this a poll. I vote out of style. Just imagine...your flower girl comes plowing toward you....with chocolate hands!! *faints*

I bought one for $45 on eBay. It might need to be refilled a few times in the course of the evening, but I'd rather do that than pay several hundred dollars for a rental.

I'm not really concerned about whether it is in style. We are older, and so are our friends, so most of them will not have been to a wedding in a long time.
