Owner Autumn Poulin has enjoyed working in the wedding and event business for over 10 years as a floral designer and owner of fleur de lis. When a Chocolate Fountain shown on the Food Network caught her eye in early 2004 she knew that it was something wonderful that she needed to research and make available in Maine and Seacoast NH.

After much research we purchased our first fountain in November of 2004, by December we had placed our order for our second fountain and turned our attention to getting the word out about this wonderful addition to wedding receptions and events. We now own 5 fountains and have been thoroughly enjoying the reaction of all of those who are experiencing a fountain for the first time.

Our Service ~
We are a full-service fountain rental business. We are not in the catering business, we can provide dipping items for the fountain if requested by the facility but for the most part we deal with the rental of the fountain, chocolate and skewers. Most importantly, we set-up, break-down and attend our fountains. Each fountain package includes a specified amount of time with a professional attendant who will be responsible for helping guests enjoy the fountain, i.e. proper dipping technique, fountain etiquette, passing napkins/plates and refilling fountain with chocolate if needed. We pride ourselves in customer service and guarantee a non-disruptive set-up and breakdown of the fountain during a reception.

Our Fountains ~
We offer 3 different sizes of attended fountains; Small, Med and Large. Each of the multi-tiered stainless steel fountains includes a heating element and motor, which draws chocolate up the pedestal to the top. It elegantly flows down the tiers as guests dip fresh fruit, etc. into the cascade.

The following is a breakdown of which fountain would be the best choice
for your event:
Small ~ up to 100 guests
Medium ~ 75 to 300 guests
Large ~ 300+ guests

Our Chocolate ~
All chocolate is not the same! Rich coverture chocolate high in cocoa butter is required to keep the fountains flowing flawlessly. We have tested several different brands of fountain chocolate to find what we feel is the best for our customers enjoyment. There are less-expensive chocolates available that require a large amount of oil to be added to allow it to flow down the fountain properly, we feel it is better to spend a bit more on a chocolate that does not require the addition of oil and deliver a higher quality product. We offer clients the choice of dark, milk or white chocolate with dark being the most popular.

Facility Requirements ~
All that is required from the facility is a sturdy, level table within 8ft to an electrical outlet and enough cocktail napkins and dessert plates for the number of guests being served.

It is nice to have an additional table cloth or 2 that matches the décor of the event to wrap around the base of the fountain for decorative purposes but it is not necessary.

We are happy to answer any questions you might have and are always ready to fill your requests immediately, please do not hesitate to contact us.
