main entrance into Patshull Hall
We supplied two of our Berry Towers for the wedding of Liz Green at the beautiful Patshull Hall.

Chocorococo Berry Tower.(c)
Patshull Hall is a grade 1 listed stately home on the Shropshire / Staffordshire border, it was built in 1750 by James Gibbs and the Gardens where landscaped by Capability Brown.
The Hall is approached down a long driveway to a courtyard through a Triumphal Arch, upon entering the house you are greeted by an imposing grand front hall with iconic pilasters, raised wall panels & a beautiful stone fireplace, and an awe inspiring 19th century coved ceiling.
It is here that we placed our two Berry towers alongside the wedding cake, it made an impressive sight when you arrived at the entrance to the Hall.

Once we had finish setting up the Strawberry Towers the owner lit the fire you see in the background , this soon made for a cosy feel to the Hall, i must admit i was a little concerned that the heat may melt the strawberries, but we need not of worried, when we returned to collect the stands after a fabulous lunch at the local Dartmouth Arms pub , the guests were still enjoying the Bucks Fizz & strawberries.

delicious strawberries.

ready for the wedding breakfast.
We managed to pass on our congratulations to Liz, who looked stunning in her bridal gown .
Comments from Liz:
I have to say that the Strawberries looked amazing either side of the wedding cake as we walked in, thank you so much.
Mrs Green’s comments ( Brides Mum)
The strawberries were absolutely superb, admired and enjoyed by the guests. They helped make it a great start to a special day. Many people have asked for your details which have been passed to them.
Thank you again.
Marian Green.

Chocorococo attended the wedding of Melissa Pearson on September 16th at the Bromsgrove Hilton .

Melissa Pearson
Melissa & her mum came to see us at the Holiday Inn Bromsgrove when we attended a wedding fayre there back in January, and loved the deep purple & white favour boxes i had made for a previous customer that were on show, as this was her chosen colour theme of the day she ordered the same for her wedding guests.
She also chose to have the Berry Tower for their drinks reception, which by all accounts was very well received by her guests.

Melissa also chose to have our chocolate fountain to keep all her chocoholic guests happy for the evening .

Comments from Melissa:

Want to know what 400+ strawberries look like, then take a look at the photo above. We were asked to provide strawberries & mini cupcakes for 200 guests, to celebrate a wedding for the relative of Miss Needa Patel.
The room decorated in ivory & coral pink, looked beautiful, I’m sure you will agree.

We had a fabulous day at the wedding fayre, Holiday Inn Bromsgrove last Sunday 26/6/11, it was attended by many couples looking for that something a little bit different, for their special day.

The Chocolate Fountain drew couples to our stand, wanting to taste the chocolate, someone even said they were happy to just stand and smell the aroma of the chocolate… well, each to their own we say .

Also on display was our Berry Tower , a real winner with our couples looking for something a little different , here are a few words sent to us from a couple who have chosen to have a Chocolate Fountain & Berry Tower package as part of their wedding celebrations next year.
” Thank you for all your help & guidance received on Sunday for our wedding plans, we are both in agreement that the Fountain & Berry Tower were amazing & can not wait to have them for our wedding”
Simon & Katie
Now wouldn’t you like some delicious dipped strawberries for your drinks reception? And how about that temptingly delicious Chocolate Fountain for your evening guests to enjoy?
The day of the wedding fayre was by far the hottest day of the year , the Chocolate Wedding Favours i made melted, as did we, then the fire alarm went off and we all had to vacate the building, ( just briefly) , but the cupcakes that were made withstood the heat & looked amazing.

Lets not forget the Mini Cupcakes, ideal as wedding favours , the perfect little bite sized treat, various designs , colours , flavours & sizes can be made by my talented daughter & her friend at The White Rabbit Bakery.
We would like to thank everyone who commented on our products, and more importantly who booked us as part of their special day, next year & also later this year….. we look forward to seeing you all again.
To those who enquired if we will be at the next wedding fayre at The Bromsgrove Holiday Inn, the answer is YES, we will be exhibiting again on October 16th 2011, so if you were unable to see us this time around, be sure to see us in October. We look forward to meeting you.

Berry Tower
We received the following comments today from Mr & Mrs Dolphin on the two Berry Towers we supplied for their wedding.
” Absolutely fabulous, all our guests were WOWED by the stands and the impact when they first walked in through the door, what a wonderful change from typical “canapes”.

Belgian chocolate wedding favours.
Some of the old wedding traditions are all but gone, apparently asking the brides father for permission to marry his daughter has dropped dramatically over the years, likewise the part where the brides parents used to pay for everything is almost unheard of, it seems bridal couples are eager to pay for most of their own wedding costs, with dad chipping in along the way (of course) BUT… wedding favours it seems have Not gone out of fashion, in fact it has increased, it seems bridal couples want to give their guests something to remember their special day, and there are many options to choose from.
Why not give your guests a delicious Belgian Chocolate lollipop, (pictured above) we can colour match your theme with ribbon & flowers. If required for additional cost we can post them to you direct. Children love them just as much as the adults it seems.

Delicious Belgian Chocolate Strawberries & Wedding Favour
Don’t fancy chocolate lollipops, then how about a Chocorococo Berry Tower with your wedding favours placed upon it, inside each box is a delicious Belgian Chocolate strawberry , again we can colour match your wedding theme , this can look very eye catching , and certainly something different.

wedding favours, with a Black & White theme
A Berry Tower is an eye catching & mouth watering addition to any occasion, but particularly weddings it seems, so look know further, if it is something different for your canape reception OR a eye catching centre piece with a difference for your evening reception, go for a Rococo Berry Tower.
I guarantee 100% your guests will be impressed not only how fabulous it looks, but just how healthy it is, Mmmm!
We cover the Midlands, Warwickshire, West Midlands, Staffordshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire & Shropshire, other areas are considered. We give discounts to the Emergency services & Armed forces……go on, give us a call!. (c) chocorococo2010

The wedding season will soon be upon us, and i dare say all would be & soon to be brides are busy planning their ideal day, have you thought about chocolate dipped strawberries? you will see that we now offer a Berry Tower as well as a chocolate fountain for your guests.
Chocolate fountains are still popular, but we have had some brides say they wish to have something different, so why not have the Berry Tower as part of your celebrations, have them as a centre piece for those guests who do not wish wedding cake, or as canapes on arrival at your venue, or even as a wedding favour in a box, tied with a colour co-ordinated ribbon, with your guests name on, this will not only act as a name place, but also as a delicious favour.

We also have spared a thought for the children, we have come up with delicious, hand made Belgian chocolate (white or milk) heart shaped lollipops, we place them in a celophane bag, tied with a colour co-ordinated ribbon & flower, with the child’s name on, The children love it, not only have they a treat to eat, but they know where they are sitting too.
Should you wish the more traditional approach, we also provide wedding favours in what ever colour you desire, (well i will do my best!!) we can either fill the boxes with chocolates for you, or supply the boxes for you to fill. Below is just one of the favours we supply, (Piccalo) we decorate them to suit your theme,( the theme below was olive & cream.)

The much loved Chocolate Fountain, a super centre piece for any occasion, and definately more cost effective than the more traditional desserts.

Lets not forget your entertainment, what ever kind of entertainment you desire, be it a band, dj, singer, group, etc, give Aries Entertainment a call .
