A Great Day.

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.

What have we gained from all this….. well we have met some lovely people along the way, and made some good friends & forged professional relationships .

 From the outset people have been willing to help and give their support, which goes to show the great admiration  the British people have for our troops . It would have been lovely to have helped the many people who wrote in and entered our competition, but unfortunately we couldn’t, but we would like to state that we at Chocorococo  give ALL the British Armed Services a discount on any of our services.

flowers to say thank you.

On a more personal note, we have received some lovely flowers , cards & messages , here are a few:

” Thank you for giving Sarah & Aaron the wedding of their dreams” Kevin & Margaurite Browne.

” Thank you so much for giving Sarah & Aaron a wedding most people can only dream about. The whole day was wonderful, we were treated like royalty & felt very priviledged – a day none of us will ever forget. A very big thank you to all involved.”  Judith & Tom Buckley.

Nick Owen & Myself

” Fantastic Lesley, so glad it all went well, good luck if you get involved again”  Nick Owen, BBC Midlands Today.

” I wish to congratulate you both on the success of the event, i know how much work was ionvolved in planning the event & you are to be commended on all your planning & efforts in making the day so special for the couple”.  Danielle Wilkins –  Civic Catering , Council House Birmingham.

” What a star you are! your efforts for the wedding were truly great , you should feel a great sense of achieveiment. A lot of hard work & energy well done for a great charity effort”  Dr. H. Hill & Mrs D. Hill

So, that brings everything to a close… it has been a wonderful 14 months, and who knows we may possibly do it all again, (on a some what smaller scale) so just keep watching this space. (c) chocorococo

*Do you have a product to launch and want to draw attention to your stand ? Well, we have the answer.

Chocolate fountains are NOT just for family celebrations, they can be used very effectively to promote a product / Business. What better way of attracting perspective clients or customers to your stand than a Chocorococo chocolate fountain.Perspective clients will automatically be drawn to your stand, leaving your sales team to chat and hopefully secure a sale whilst they are enjoying the delicious chocolate.

Some companies may wish to use a fountain as a gesture of good will, to say “thank-you”  to their staff for all the hard work they have done, or for staff xmas parties / dances.

One such company who hired a Chocorococo fountain to thank their staff for all the hard work they had done and also launch a new product was a very well known sweet manufacturer in Buckinghamshire, the gesture and indeed the chocolate fountain was very much appreciated by the staff who kept coming back for more.

Chocorococo have also supplied a fountain for William Farmer of Fielding Auctioneers &  who is also a  BBC Antique Roadshow expert, they were having a Clarice Cliff  auction for the Clarice Cliff Club.

A private viewing was held the day before the auction, a jazz band played to welcome the buyers along with our chocolate fountain and sumptuous dips, this created a lovely relaxed & fun atmosphere through out the whole evening.  So as you can see from the examples above a Chocorococo fountain can be a profitable decision for your company, and let’s not forget that you and your staff get the benefits too! So why not give us a call and let us help YOU promote YOUR business ..     (c)chocorococo
