With our chocolate fountain cart, we bring fun and flavour to any occasion. You just worry about the guests, we take care of the chocolate!

Ideal for any kind of celebration: from birthday parties and weddings to corporate events or office lunches. You provide the venue and we bring the magic of chocolate, with everything needed to enjoy it to the fullest!

This type of entertainment is all-terrain, so it suits all kinds of events such as,

• Weddings

• Corporate meetings
• Company afterworks
• Themed events
• Conferences and trade fairs

A chocolate fountain works in a fairly simple way. First, the melted chocolate must be prepared. The chocolate is melted in a container by a heating unit that keeps it at a suitable, constant temperature. Once the chocolate has melted, it is poured into the chocolate fountain at the top of the tower.

Then the liquid chocolate is driven upwards by a pump located at the base of the fountain. The chocolate flows to the top of the fountain and is spread evenly over each tier of the cascade tower. The chocolate flows continuously down the tower, creating a beautiful cascade of liquid chocolate.

Guests can enjoy the chocolate fountain by dipping a variety of foods into it, such as fresh fruit, marshmallows, biscuits, pretzels, sponge cake, pancakes, waffles, and more. The chocolate fountain is easy to use and can be kept on throughout the event, providing a delicious visual and tasty attraction.

It is important to bear in mind that, to keep the chocolate liquid in the fountain, a constant source of heat is needed to stop the chocolate from solidifying. Most chocolate fountains come with a thermostat that keeps the chocolate melted at an optimal temperature to prevent it from burning or hardening.

The machine can be hired without staff or with our own United Events team, so that we have waiters.

If you opt for chocolate fountain cart hire without a waiter you will have to leave a refundable deposit at the time of collecting or when we deliver the machine. If, on the other hand, you opt for the cart hire with a waiter, no deposit has to be left; you only pay the price of the cart with or without transport.

You can dip fresh fruit such as strawberries, kiwi, bananas and apples, which, on contact with the melted chocolate, create a mix of fresh and sweet flavours. If you prefer something crunchier, biscuits, whether chocolate or vanilla, are perfectly coated in the molten chocolate, creating a unique texture experience. And of course, marshmallows are a must; they are gently dipped in the chocolate, offering a contrast between soft and creamy. With our chocolate fountain, every bite becomes an explosion of flavour and a perfect combination for any event."

You can decide whether you want to hire it with or without transport; the transport price for the hire will depend on the time, the distance from Barcelona and the number of trips to be made.

To see an exact price you need to request a quote for the chocolate fountain cart hire with transport, stating the following:

• Day or days of the event
• Location of the event
• Time of installation
• Time of service start
• Time of service end
• Time of dismantling

It will also depend, for example, on whether more services have been included in the event, but normally it would be the following.

• Chocolate fountain
• Support cart for the chocolate fountain
• Waiter for the chocolate fountain cart
• Fruit, biscuits or marshmallows
• Free transport in Barcelona

The chocolate fountain cart can be customised; we have the lower front or the upper front of the cart for this, but we can adapt to whatever type of customisation you want.

Set-up is very quick. The chocolate fountain stand hire for parties is divided into the fountain on top and the base cart, but it depends a lot on whether our van is relatively close to the set-up area.

The time a chocolate fountain takes to heat up depends on the type of fountain and the amount of chocolate you are using, but in general, modern chocolate fountains usually take between 15 to 30 minutes to reach the right temperature to start working.

In short, if the place where we install the chocolate fountain cart is relatively close to the van, you can estimate between 45 minutes and one hour.

We mainly need the following; if any of these points are not available, we would need to talk to see how to solve that specific point.

• Nearby power connection (2 metres)
• An area to place the products we are going to use
• An easy route from the unloading area to the place where we want to put the chocolate fountain cart at your wedding or event.

Time needed to book it

The time needed to book it may vary depending on whether customisation is needed. If customisation is needed, we would need a minimum of 2 working weeks to make the changes to the machine.

If no customisation is needed, it can even be requested 2 days before the event. However, we do not advise leaving it so late, because we will most likely have another event or another chocolate fountain cart already on hire at that time, so we recommend booking as far in advance as possible, usually 1-2 months in advance to be sure of securing the service.

First of all, you need to send a request by e-mail, phone or WhatsApp. We then check availability and offer the price for cart hire for events or weddings. Once the quote is accepted, the client pays 50% to book and the remaining 50% the day before the service; if that is a public holiday, payment must be made on the last working day before the event so that the transfer can arrive successfully. In the booking request we would need the following details

• Cart installation time/day
• Start time/day of the wedding, birthday or corporate event
• Name of the contact for when we arrive at the event
• Phone number of the contact on our arrival
• Exact place where the event will take place
• Tax details for invoicing

The event booking allows us to block the day for the client who booked and so not offer it to another client. A booking can only be cancelled and refunded if it is due to circumstances beyond the client's control, such as coronavirus or similar. It is possible to change the event date so as not to lose the booking.

We normally hold events in Barcelona and Madrid, but we can adapt to anywhere in Spain. If different services or event games are requested, the transport price may not affect much, so in general we do provide the service outside Barcelona, but we need to go into the details of the event.

To deliver the machine without a waiter we ask for a refundable deposit, which will be returned at collection if the following points are met,

• Machine working and with no visible damage
• Chocolate fountain cart cleaned as it was delivered at the start

If any point is not met, an amount in proportion to the damage will be deducted from the deposit.
