We provided one of our Berry Towers  as a gift  for friends of ours Dave & Julie Scriven , who got married out in Florida a few weeks ago, they had a reception at Tally Ho Sports & Social Club, for friends & family who could not attend their wedding .

The Strawberries were quickly devoured, in fact there was nothing left , everyone enjoyed them so much.  Dave looking dapper in his “delmonte suit,”  and Julie looking radiant in her wedding gown .

Gotcha!! Sandy & Terry

Told you i would put you on the blog…. friends Sandy & Terry George .

Comments from Dave & Julie:

“Thanks for supplying the Berry Tower, it was lovely, and everyone has been commenting on how tasty they were, thanks for all your hard work.”

It was a pleasure guys, glad you enjoyed them, (what was left!!)

Chocorococo attended the wedding reception of Lisa & Carl Beetison at the Birmingham Council House , Banqueting Suite , on July 24th . Lisa looked lovely in her bridal gown, and could not wait to be let loose on the chocolate.

Guests from as far away as Fife enjoyed the evening, the chocolate and ….the first dance, which was very original. Lisa & Carl proceeded onto the dance floor to dance to a slow tune, then without warning, the tempo changed  quickly to a different medley of tunes, which they  had very cleverly coreographed different dance routines to, it literally brought the house down, the guests loved it , (just as much as the fountain.)

Lisa & Carl’s comments, ” Wow! it looks amazing .

When we arrived at the Venue, we were asked if we had seen the flower display outside the Council House to commemorate Battle of Britain. I just had to add this picture in , we  all thought it was amazing .

Chocorococo  attended the wedding of Katie & Adam Bryan on July 10th at Highbury Hall, Birmingham , a fun evening was had by everyone, and Adam & Katie were thrilled with the fountain and its presentation.

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 .

A Chocorococo Berry Tower is a fantastic centre piece for any occasion, and looks simply stunning when displayed with delicious hand dipped Belgian chocolate strawberries. A Berry tower also makes a great alternative to a wedding cake if you have vegetarian guests or guests on a gluten free diet.

We all know that strawberries and champagne are a match made in heaven,  so if you have clients to impress or a family celebration , you couldn’t get better tasting canapes than this, now could  you?

All our strawberries come dipped in white / dark or milk belgian chocolate , then dipped in nuts or coconut, but we are happy to cater to individual requirements.

Hand dipped strawberries can also be provided as an alternative wedding  favour with a difference, they look lovely displayed on your tables, and what a treat for your guests when they open the box. Alternatively , we can display them on our tower, with further dipped strawberries, the choice is yours

Chocorococo were back at the Village Hotel Dudley  on June 5th 2009 to attend the Wedding celebrations of Claire & Antony Hancock .The fountain proved hugely popular with everyone, especially the children. Many congratulations to Claire & Antony, and may we wish you all the very best for the future. We would also like to thank people for their kind words & comments on the overall presentation of the fountain, your comments were very much appreciated

Here's one we made earlier!

Well, the day is set and now you face a very long list of requirements for your wedding, one of them will definately be the wedding cake, who do you call? What shall we do? well lets hope i can save a few sore fingers from the endless calls & emails being sent with the following suggestion.

A wedding wouldn’t be complete without a wedding cake, and now there are endless possibilities as to what kind of cake to have. Some companies will offer different flavour sponges for a three tiered cake,(Madeira / carrot cake / fruit etc.) Cakes shaped as suitcases if you are getting married abroad, and having a party for friends & relatives when you get home. Individual cupcakes decorated to match your colour theme, or with photos of the bride & groom on.  Or why not have a go yourself, most supermarkets now sell ready iced fruit & sponge cakes ready for you to decorate in your own individual style, or ask your florist to supply you with some extra flowers to decorate the cake, and finish it off with a colour coordinating ribbon, the possibilities are endless, let your imagination run wild, and get creative.

If all that is too much, give Cassie a call at Passion 4 Cakes , she will give you plenty of advice, and her cakes are stunning too.

And of course, dont forget the chocolate fountain, no need to have further desserts with the cake & all the  yummy dips on offer, you will please the old & young alike, if some of your guests dont want the chocolate, thats fine they can enjoy the fruit & pastries on offer on their own, and leave the chocolate for the chocoholics out there…Mmmmm!    (c)chocorococo

is that all for me.

Make no mistake ask any guest what they remember most about a wedding, and it will always be the food.

It is well worth the time , effort & budget on getting it right.A good caterer will tell you that it is not a good idea having your guests hanging around for hours before your wedding breakfast or after. All caterers are different in how they handle & arrange things, but tell them your budget and they are usually only to happy to oblige.

Likewise you evening reception, it is advisable not to leave a big gap between your wedding breakfast & evening buffet, remember hungry guests are unhappy guests. Plan with your caterer’s when you want the buffet to arrive, this is usually around 8pm to 8.30pm.

By hiring a Chocolate Fountain as part of your buffet eliminates any hungry guests, as your fountain can run an hour before the buffet arrives, making your guests happy & the children even happier, no need for desserts from your caterer as the fountain IS the dessert, with plenty of dips to choose from , the fountain carries on running for a further hour welcoming any late arrival guests, and keeping the chocoholics amongst you happy.

FACT: Hiring  a  Chocorococo Chocolate Fountain as your dessert option is more cost effective than more traditional desserts & guaranteed more FUN….(c)chocorococo
