Hot chocolate bar...thoughts?

So I got a quote from a lady who does hot chocolate and gourmet marshmallows. For about 450.00 I can get a hot chocolate bar that includes all the cups/straws, my chice of 7 marshmallow flavors, hot chocolate, whipped cream, salted caramel sauce, butterscotch and chocolate sauce.

So I got a quote from a lady who does hot chocolate and gourmet marshmallows. For about 450.00 I can get a hot chocolate bar that includes all the cups/straws, my chice of 7 marshmallow flavors, hot chocolate, whipped cream, salted caramel sauce, butterscotch and chocolate sauce. They will also do a smore's bar with roasters on site. This sounds so fun to me! But I'm not sure if a lot of people would use it? I plan on providing a few bottles of liquor for people to spike it if I do this Smiley winking She also mentioned that she could make some coffee infused hot chocolates for people who wanted the extra caffeine boost.

FH thinks it would be good for the kids (though I don't think we'll have as many kids in actual attendance as he thinks. I'm thinking 10 or less). He also likes the idea for his family, none of whom drink alcohol. In Oklahoma the weather on Oct. 17th could be warm, almost hot or it could be rainy and cold. There's no telling until the week of.

What do you ladies think?

    I effing love hot chocolate, so I'm all for it. But $450?! Seriously? I could put that together for under $100.

    Sounds like a cool idea - but it depends on the crowd. In all honestly I'd probably skip it if I was a guest and it sounds like more of a winter wedding idea to me. I might be more inclined if it was a winter wedding on a cold day - but I'm more of a wine drinker lol

    I would do this! If I had the budget I would totally steal this idea lol I am sure the adults will like the infused coffee thing and that they can spike it. I'm positive it will be a huge hit for the adults and kids!

    I'm crashing your wedding...specialty marshmallows? Marshmallows are already one of my favorite things in the world! If you had that it'd be the best wedding (besides my own of course lol) that I would ever go to.

    Lol HIH! Come crash away! I'm still undecided bc several of my guests that I've floated it past have been like "cool idea! But I probably wouldn't drink any to be honest"

    If we were going to have a ton of kids there I'd def. do it, but right now I'm still not sure. I really want to do it, but I'd be bummed to spend that much money and only like 15 people utilize it ya know? BUT, I am thinking about how I could use this lady in the future for like a Christmas party or my son's bday (right after Christmas) bc I just love the concept.

    I need to talk to FH, but I am thinking I may see if the lady will let me order a bunch of the marshmallows and make my own s'mores roaster and use her marshmallows for that and just do that without the hot chocolate. They are seriously so good lol.

    Ummmm YUM!!!!! Don't forget the lactose intolerance people - make sure you have some almond milk or something non dairy. My daughter is lac int. so when you said hot chocolate I right away thought of her bellyaches :-(
