A quick poll, Choc Fountain or Sweetie Buffet ?

As the title says really.

We currently have a chocolate fountain booked with our venue but they are charging us a ridiculous £450 for it and if we get an external supplier they charge a £200 site fee so would be no cheaper anyway. Whilst I do really like them I am wondering if it is worth that money so we are thinking of going for a sweetie buffet instead with the evening food.

Costs aside, as a guest at a wedding which would you prefer ladies ??

Thanks

    Chocolate fountain for me, but I'm not keen on eating lots of sweets.

    The problem is how messy a fountain could get, esp if there are alot of children...molton chocolate + white dress = potential disaster

    Sweets would probably be cheaper & less mess.

    Sorry, thats probably not much help!

    Sweets for me. Have been to wedings where people have to queue for teh fountain and then are only alloed x number of things to dip, which i think makes it look a bit stingy. Also there is the mes factor. But at the end of the day if you have booked it you obviously want it so go with what you want.

    I am a confirmed chocolate lover.... BUT after going to a wedding last year that had a chocolate fountain, I have to say that I would chose the sweetie table over the fountain.

    The mess was unbelievable from the chocolate fountain.. It got even worse when people had got a few drinks down them. My dress got choc spilt down it, its pretty hard not to do.
