Wedding Chocolate Fountain Hire in Caernarfon North Wales
North Wales is a really popular destination for chocolate fountain hire and last weekend was no exception. We arrived in the historic Royal town of Caernarfon early and made our way to the Celtic Royal Hotel where the wedding reception was taking place. We set up in the main room whilst the wedding guests were relaxing in other parts of the hotel after having their wedding breakfast. The chocolate fountain was set up at the back of the room to allow the guests plenty of room for seating and of course dancing. The bride and groom welcomed all of the guests back into the room so the fountain was in full flow by the time they were able to come and taste the chocolate fountain. The bride and groom – Michelle and Arwel had chosen every dip that we offered so the chocolate fountain was completely surrounded by dipping items. The hotel provided a buffet for the guests and what more could you want as dessert that a host of dipping items to put into the chocolate fountain and cover with luxury belgium chocolate! We soon realised that the people of North Wales are a healthy bunch as the fruit was very popular in particular grapes! With the DJ playing some great tunes and a lot of the guests dancing it was soon time for us to leave but not before we heard the sound mumbo no5 being played and a special guest entered – a local resident of Caernarfon uk’s no 1 lookalike for Jim Royle from tv’s the Royal family, his stay was brief so unfortunately he didn’t make it as far as the chocolate fountain.
