text: My husband actually worked this event last year and was so excited to attend this year Unfortunately the event was a huge downgrade from last year Last year it was in a ballroom and this year was in a shopping mall Horrible set up super crowded and not that many stationsnnWe purchased the VIP tickets and got there around to already find huge lines Half the stations were already giving out chocolates and half were saying they were not allowed to until and turning us awaynn By the lines were insane and we ended up skipping several of the booths It just was not worth the wait It was a bad idea to let the chefs hand out the food themselves as they would chit chat with people making the lines even longer and not run smoothly You would wait minutes to get bite of chocolate The wines were low caliber and again you waited minutes to get a sip servingnnI am a chocolate snob and had high expectations None of the chocolates were memorable and I even spit out a few that were not good at allnnThere was no signage and it was poorly organized We ended up leaving around and going to dinner instead
