popcorn bar

I am thinking about doing a popcorn bar instead of cake. My FH doesn't eat cake and we both really enjoy popcorn. Does anyone know where to order that or would it be more of a DIY thing?

You could check with your caterer to see if that is something they can do. Otherwise, if you would like to do it yourself, why not.

You can rent popcorn machines through rental stores, I believe. I saw one when we went to rent a bobcat, so... I'm assuming it was to rent out. good luck!

I love popcorn - what a great idea!  I'm sure there is a company that does it somewhere....

Check with Candyland in downtown Mpls or St Paul - they might be able to do something like that.  I know I've gone to corporate meetings downtown and they've brought their stuff in.

My FMIL looked into this for our late night snack.  The company she found was like $400 but that's still cheaper than most cakes!

What company does it for 400?

I rented a popcorn machine and the supplies from Midway Party Rental for maybe 75 bucks? This doesn't include fun toppings, but does include popcorn, oil, salt and bags.

I think this sounds like a really fun idea, but I have to admit that I would be a little disappointed to not have a dessert.

But I totally get not wanting cake. Neither H nor I like normal cake, so we went with cheesecakes from Muddy Paws. It was a little over $300 for ~80 people.

We are doing the same thing (instead of a candy bar that is I LOVE cake!)  Lucky for us FI's parents have a popcorn machine in their mancave/basement so we are just buying seeds and oil from Sam's club.. which is super cheap by the way.  

I second pp don't spend $400 on a popcorn machine unless they are going to sit there and pop it for you all night as well.
