Popcorn Bar- DIY- Serves 100

I have an event in Chicago. How can I be guaranteed the popcorn will be fresh if it’s popped several days in advance?

The popcorn is popped the day before it ships out. It is sealed inside the bags to keep it as fresh as possible.
We always recommend letting us know the date of the event so we can arrange to for the order to arrive 1-2 days before you are planning on serving it.
The Savory flavors (any flavor with Cheese or Butter) will stay fresh for 1-2 weeks once they are sealed inside the bag. 
Candied and Specialty flavors will stay fresh 3-4 weeks.

I have a wedding in March and I need a popcorn bar that serves 200 people with 10 different flavors. How much will that cost?

My first impulse is to tell you that you need 2 of the DIY Bar that serves 100. But, I would like to take the time to help breakdown the serving sizes. 1.) The amount we call a serving size is between 2 to 3 cups per individual. This is an Avererage. Some will eat more, some will eat less. 2.) The size of the serving bags/ containers will ultimately dictate how many will be served. We recommend 8 oz. or 12 oz. clear solo cups. This allows for multiple flavor selections and 2 trips to the bar will equal 2 cups with an 8 oz. clear solo cup. 8oz = 1 cup, 12oz.= 1.5 cups. If this is not a good option then we have 3 cup bags that we can supply upon request. Feel free to use your own selected bags as well. It is easy to determine how much popcorn will be needed per bag by measuring volume of selected bag with dry rice or sugar. Ideally between 2 to 3 cups will allow for 100 servings. The size of the container/bag keeps over serving at a minimum. Larger bags only mean less servings. NOTE> you want to fill no more than 3 cups in bags. Smaller bags work best to stretch the servings. It will also allow for trying multiple flavors. 3.) Each popcorn Bar DIY-100 servings will allow 5 flavors selections The cost will depend if you choose the All-In-One-100 package or the DIY-100 package.

Hi I am planning a popcorn bar for my wedding in March. How much would it be if I wanted to do just 4 XL bags and do y’all ship or would I need to pick up? If y’all can ship how in advance should I order and how long will popcorn stay fresh? Thank you!

You can purchase any of our flavors in an XL size bag right from the flavor menu.

If you are local to Southeast, Texas we would suggest picking up your order from our store on Dowlen Rd. Place your order at least 3-4 days before you will need to pick it up. We pop and make all bulk orders fresh the day before they are due.
You can alos have it shipped directly to you by ordering from the website.
Please place an order at least 10 days ahead of time for shipping. Always include the event date with your order so that we can make sure that it arrives fresh and on time. 

Hope this info has helped. Please feel free to call us if you need help with anything else.

Does each bag serve 100 people or is the 5 bags total that serve 100 people? Can you add on a few bags to the popcorn bar package?

The enitre package (5 bags total) all combined feeds up to 100 people.
Each bag has 50 cups of popcorn x 5 bags = 250 cups of popcorn total. This allows for approximately 2.5 cups per person.

Some people will eat more than 2.5 cups and some will eat less. The bag or cups that you give to your guests will help control the portion sizes.
We offer our clear 3 cup bags which does help keep the serving size down to about 2.5 cups unless they fill it over the top.

You can always add more popcorn. Popcorn flavors are sold individually in bag sizes Mini - XLarge. Just click the link below or on the menu bar "all flavors".

If my wedding is in August, at what point should I Put my order in?

Hello, you can put your order in at anytime. If it is for an event, we will schedule it to ship fresh closer to your event date. I would recommend placing your order roughly 2 weeks ahead of time just so we can make sure that it arrives to you on schedule for the big day :)
You can always leave a note in the "special instructions" box on the cart page. BUT.... after you type in your note, click the red CHECKOUT button to save the note.  If you click the PayPal, GPay, ShopPay, etc. it will redirect you to their site and the note will not be saved.
If you have any questions or concerns about your order please give us a call or send an email.
We are always happy to help.

Thank you,
Carly

Where are you guys based out of? Do you ship to all states? I live in utah, just wondering if the popcorn ends up still being pretty fresh if it takes awhile to ship? Thanks!

Hello, we are located in Beaumont, Texas and we ship all over the United States every day.
Shipping to Utah (UPS transport time) is typically 4 business days but we usually need 1-2 days before that to make and prepare your order.
Popcorn is made fresh the day of or 1 day before it ships out. It arrives sealed in the bags and is fresh on arrival. We time our shipments so that you receive it just a few days before your event. If you are ordering a Popcorn Bar set-up or Party Favors there will be a place for you to enter your "event date". This will help us to schedule your shipment so that it arrives to you a few days before the event date.

Please feel free to call or personally email me for fast and direct communication.
