Chocolate fountain tacky?

I think it's great! There will be a line and a bit of a mess, but it will be a hit. Pretzels, apples, bananas, and angel food cake or poundcake bites are also good for fondue dipping.

I find them to be a bit messy and usually the chocolate from them isn't that good.

I would maybe have different types of chocolate, so many unique kinds out there now. Check vosages website for ideas. You also do a souffle, mousse, creme brulee, macaroons (the french kind) and pie.

Not tacky just make sure you have someone their to man the table...especially if you have kids at your wedding. People need to be reminded not to double dip, not to reach in for items that have fallen of their sticks etc. You will also want someone there to clean up the mess. The line also gets kinda long so if you do it it might be wise to do two.

I love chocolate fountains. I haven't seen one at a wedding in awhile, I think it would be a hit.

We had one, and it got lots of use!

Not tacky at all. You can incorporate different fruits

OMG not tacky at all. I love the chocolate fountain and was planning to do something lie this. I love love love chocolate. Yummy. I think it's a great idea. Trust me people will love it esp dipping it with strawberry esp banana. Yum.

I dont think its tacky but yeah MESSY and if you have kids there kids like to hug the bride alot and yeah chocolate and kids faces you get the picture messy messy messy

Ah!! i was only worried about getting it on my dress lol ill have to wear a bib! thanks guys!

I went to a graduation party this May that had a fountain---with RANCH DRESSING in it! EWWWWW It was so wierd! Chocolate-great idea. Ranch dressing, not so much. I should do that--why not, when all of us will already have salsa and guac all over our finery, what's a little chocolate?

Ranch dressing! RANDOM! haha I hope fountains don't start getting carried away! I am sure the FH would be game for a ketchup fountain.... EWWW! but chocolate fountain sounds delightful for me! go for it! but again... watch the little ones sticky fingers after haha or your dress might have some added stains!

Ketchup--That is sooooo funny. I'm sure my FH would love it if I would give him a hot tub full of ketchup for his birthday.

OMG, I love those things. Tacky? No. Messy? Yes.

I recommend strawberries, bananas, pineapple (amazing), granny smith apples (also awesome), marshmallows, Oreos, graham crackers, and pretzels. You'd be surprised by the number of fruits that go well will chocolate.

Not tacky at all. My venue actually includes the fountain in my package. It will be used during cocktail hour for strawberries, pineapples pretzels and whatever else they throw in. I say go for it.

I think its great, we'r going to have one at our wedding, FH really wants it. You could do rice crispy treats on a stick, bananas, of course strawberries, and not really sure what else.

I'm actually looking into getting one too. Fruits, marshmallows, rice krispy treats, pretzels, and etc.

We've never really liked them because the chocolate you use in them is very subpar or has been modified with some science to stay running and smooth. It all comes down to your level of acceptability in quality. One thing we've been offering is dipping stations where we have a server keep fresh hot fudge sauce, caramel sauce, and flavored whipped creams stocked. You can keep the quality and taste excellent.
