FAQ
I want a candy buffet! How do I book?
Great! Please contact Sweet Buffets at 423-802-9081. We will work with you personally to design the candy buffet of your dreams! We will ask you a few questions from our candy questionnaire to determine your event needs. Then we'll email/mail you a contract specific to your event. A signed contract and a 50% deposit are needed to secure your date. Two weeks before your event, the remaining balance will be due.
Should I include a candy buffet at my event?
Absolutely! Candy buffets are unique! A candy buffet will make your event fun, festive and memorable. Candy buffets provide your guests with an exciting, interactive element--and they make a fantastic favor for any event--one that will actually be appreciated!
Are Candy Buffets a good guest favor for weddings?
Candy buffets are a fabulous way for guests to mingle with each other. Candy Buffets also eliminate the need of a boring favor (bags of almonds, candles, photo frames, etc.). Instead, watch your guests go crazy selecting their favorite sweets!
I can buy candy - why shouldn't I just do-it-myself?
Because there is far more involved in assembling a candy buffet than you may first realize. You will need to buy candy in very large quantities - often at high retail prices. You will also have to purchase a variety of large glassware, easily spending $50-$100 on containers (sometimes on each container!) you will have no use for after the event. Then, you will have to make sure someone is available to set it up and tear it down for you. Additionally, you'll need to come up with labels or a candy menu and take-away bags or boxes to complete the display.
How much candy can I expect to receive per guest?
The standard serving-size is 4-8oz. We will provide ample candy to allow your guests to enjoy the display, and prevent it from looking too depleted too quickly. And remember - you get to keep the leftovers!
Can I provide some of my own candy?
Yes. However, if there is a specific candy you want to include, please tell us, and we'll make sure to work it into the display for you!
If I provide the linens, will I receive a discount?
Unfortunately, no. Our package is built to include the linens, and there is not a separate charge that can be deducted. We are happy to supply coordinating linens, or work with those you provide.
Can you do anything other than candy?
Definitely. We can provide a decadent sweet dessert buffet for your event! We are happy to provide cake balls, cupcakes or mini cupcakes, cookies, flavored popcorn, savory items such as nuts or crackers... just let us know what you have in mind.
