Buy one - they aren't that expensive.

My mother in law got a very cheap but functional one from Quality Save (her favourite shop!).

Of course they're expensive, cos only idiots would want one, and they'll usually pay whatever it costs -market forces my dear

How crass. Don't do it. That's my idea. Unless it's a shell suit type of wedding.

Chocolate fountains are becoming quite popular and are easily found in stores like Walmart, Target, Williams-Sonoma, etc. If you don't want to purchase one outright, try renting one from a party supply company.

Get on to ebay (uk) now, they're selling loads!!! Prices are ranging from around £30-£70. Good Luck and have a beautiful wedding!

Chocolate Fountains are
a, Messy
b, Overrated
c, Over priced
d, Naff
Don't do it, they are now such a cliche that they are turning in to a real chav must have
Take my advice and think of something else you could use the money on, don't buy one as the cheap ones are REALLY cheap and nasty and to hire one is so expensive
Apart from that I really hope you have a tremendous special day
Good luck

I honestly would not buy one. Rent one if you must have one…but it's just like the fondue pot.
It will come and go back and forth from popularity to taboo.

To all the other answerers who told her it was a bad idea. She did not ask if she should have one. So keep your opinons about it to yourself. It is her special day NOT YOURS!!!
Ebay is a good option if you want to buy one. They currently have 183 items for the title chocolate fountain. (at 1:00 P.M. Eastern)
You could also ask your bakery where you are getting your cake if they have one available for rent. They might be willing to cut you a deal if they have one available.
http://www.chocolatefountainrental.com/
can help you locate one for rent. They also have a link for Recipes to help you with ideas on what to serve with it…
Also check with your local party supply/rental store. If your party is being catered ask if they have one available or if they know where you could get one.
Congratulations on your wedding. I wish you both many happy years together.

You can buy or rent a chocolate fountain. Or do something else.
1) Depending on your state, look up chocolate fountain companies or ask your caterer if they can recommend someone. If you're in the bay area in California, check out "California Chocolate Fountains." See http://www.CaliforniaChocolateFountains.com
2) You can also buy a chocolate fountain from Costco, Wal-Mart, Target, etc.
See http://www.costco.com/Common/Search.aspx?whse=&topnav=&search=chocolate%20fountain&N=0&Ntt=chocolate%20fountain&cm_re=1-_-Top_Left_Nav-_-Top_search
3) Or you can abandon the chocolate fountain and instead go for chocolate fondues. Just buy the bowls and melt the chocolate. Set up a table with "dippable" goodies and long skewers and have your guests enjoy the chocolate. You can also flavor the chocolate with liquors like Baileys, Grand Marinier, etc.

I have to say that a chocolate fountain does sound fantastic. However, being a practical woman I think a mixture of Running Chocolate, drunk guests and a white dress to be a recipe for disaster.
Personally speaking (as disastrous things tend to happen to me) I'd keep things a little less runny.
However, Have a great wedding and I wish you health happiness
