Transportation and Candy Buffets? Oh my!

lovelee63

Hello Bridal Family,

I have two questions! First if any of you have had or are working on a candy buffet how much has it cost you? I would love to have a candy buffet, but I'm not sure where to start with planning one. How much candy do I estimate per person? Any cheap candy  (in bulk) that any of you can recommend?

Secondly my venue is two hours away and I would like to provide transportation to some of my guests, especially the ones who I know are heavy drinkers. Any recommendations on cheap bus rentals in the Milwaukee area?

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just decided last night to do a candy buffet. A friend of mine who got married two years ago did a candy buffet and still has all of her vases, scoops, and candy bags so it worked out pretty perfect. I plan to get my candy in bulk from Woodman's or Vic's Wholesale Candy on West Forest Home Avenue in Milwaukee. She spent $250 in candy for a guestlist of over 500 people an still had plenty left over. My guest list is less than half of that so I only plan to spend about $100-$125 in candy. I'd also recommend Oriental Trading Company (online) for other candy buffet supplies.

Four Star Limo and Riteway have pretty reasonable prices for shuttle buses

Thanks guys! I'll be checking out those places for the candy and we decided to skip renting a bus. We found hotels that will provide a shuttle to and from the site for free! Yay! Anyone who isn't getting a hotel will carpool. Money saved. lol
