When the kids were full of chocolate and ice cream, the ‘special guest’ appeared in the lift, complete with his two elves, it was of course Father Christmas! And with his appearance came shower of sparkly confetti from the ceiling. You should have seen Matt and I desperately trying not to let it get into the fountain, we looked very funny flapping our arms about! With the exit of Father Christmas, the parents and children alike got into their coats and left, tired, happy and looking forward to the festivities of the season. As for the Chocolate Fountain Team, we left happy that a job had been well done.

We were set up quite early in time with band playing for the bride and groom ‘s first dance.

The wedding guests needed no encouragement and we were soon feeding lots of guests with both chocolate fountains getting lots of use. Guests needed a little more encouragement to use the fruit palm tree and a lot of people think these are for decorative purposes only. Soon it was time for the band to start their first set, and t his got all of the guests up on the dance floor rocking the night away which signalled our time to leave Knebworth and head home. This was a really nice reception in a great setting!
