Has anyone on here ever seen this done at a wedding or know how much it costs?

They had one at the wedding I went to a few weekends ago. Great idea because people have something to nosh on after hours! As for pricing: I think it depends how much you do, how you display it, and where you get the candy from. My family has a wholesale candy store, so if you want me to give you some pricing on stuff, just FM me and I'd be happy to! Also, if you want cute ways to display it, you can definitely get different glass jars from the dollar store or thrift shop and just make cute signs for them!

I've been wondering about this too. Do RHs allow you to bring in your own candy?

Re: Candy Buffet

people do this all the time now... and there are a lot of websites you can get cheap candy, buy vases at dollar store and have your RH set them up

I went to a wedding where they did it and it was AMAZING! We loved it because we just chowed down on the way back to the hotel!

Def check with your venue before you start purchasing stuff. You may need to get permission. As for costs, not sure but you can buy online at bulk or go to Costco and BJ's. Jars you can find anywhere-Marshalls, Home Goods, etc....

We had a candy bar at our wedding and it was a big hit. You will need to get permission from your RH to make sure that they allow you to bring in your own. Our rh had a candy bar (wrapped full size candy bars)and let us bring other candies (unwrapped - swedish fish, jelly beans, tootsie rolls, etc). As far as cost, the rule is 2-3 people per pound of candy.
