Chocolate Fountains come in different varieties and at the wedding reception of Taj Ali & Khadijah Ali in the Guild Hall in Southampton last weekend all three of the most popular varieties were required. Three chocolate fountains were displayed at the entrance In the Guild Hall, either side of the chocolate fountains were fruit palm trees to give the guests a healthy option whilst choosing to dip into the dark chocolate , milk chocolate or white chocolate fountain. With the impressive set up complete all we had to do was wait for the bride and groom to make their entrance and of course hold back the guests from starting on the chocolate fountains and fruit palm trees – not an easy task with all that chocolate about! With the bridal party’ s arrival crowd gathered to meet the happy couple and of course watch them have the first dip on the chocolate fountain. This of course meant that all of the chocolate fountains and fruit palm trees were open to all of the guests, and they needed no invitation and for the next four hours there was hardly a moments rest for the fountain and of course the chocolate fountain hire team! This was a really nice colorful and friendly wedding to be at it was great to see the guests enjoying all of the varieties of chocolate and the fruit palm trees.

Chocolate Fountain Hire to celebrate Tesco Northampton 25th Anniversary
There are many reasons for having a Chocolate Fountain,but having a Tesco store open for 25 years, with 5 original staff, is a very good reason. The Chocolate Fountain Rental team rose early on Friday (well 7am is early for 1 member!) and went to the Clannel Road Tesco in Northampton which hadbeen open for exactly 25 years on Friday 11th February 2011. The party was being held in the staff room, and after being issued posh visitor badges we humped our equipment upstairs in the lift with the help of some shop floor cages which I drove very badly into walls etc!. The room was decorated with a silver theme and long tables were set up groaning with food which the canteen staff had prepared.There was a huge cheese board and a lovely desert table with little cakes arranged in the shape of ’25′ The chocolate fountain was the ‘piese de resiatance’ and was flowing beautifully and smelling lush! There was a stilt walker and a balloon making man called Mr Crumpet entertaining the staff also. After the presentation of the 5 staff with 25 years service with bottles of Moet and flowers and vouchers, the staff got really stuck in to the fountain, and the strawberries and pineapple got the most attention, what a healthy lot!! When everyone had drifted back to work we got stuck in to the remaining buffet food and had a plate of curry and rice!! The staff were so nice and helpful and we had a lovely time being involved in their celebrations, sometimes I love my job so much it doesn’t feel like work at all!!!
