Candy buffet - Where did you purchase candy?

tiarab

Hello ladies,
                  Sorry, as I know this has been asked before, but where did you guys purchase the candy for your candy buffets? I know there is costco, bjs', etc, but I believe a few people had mentioned some places online that I can't think of.

On a related note, when did you order the candy? My wedding is the last weekend in June so should I get it in the beggining of June? Thanks so much!

We bought our online candy at http://www.metrocandy.com/ - 10% off your first order - & http://www.candywarehouse.com/ - sign up for their newsletter to get a coupon for some savings.

We purchased about a month before our wedding - make sure you double check shipping methods though, one of our shipments arrived 48 hours before our wedding. GL!

Yummies in Kittery, Maine.  I bought my dress in Portsmouth and I liked the fact that we could see and taste all the candy before we bought.  They sell in bulk, and were reasonably priced.

It's about an hour away and there are a ton of outlet shops is you want to make a shopping day out of it.

Is this something your venue can handle? Often times venues get candy from their suppliers at a very wholesale cost. Perhaps you can work out a 10% markup or something?
