Reviews for Chocolate Dreams and Wishes
GUEST
I really wanted our wedding place cards to be unique. I'm so glad I found Chocolate Dreams & Wishes. The cards were absolutely perfect!!!! They were such a hit and looked beautiful!! Ken was great!! He was responsive to emails and designed as many proofs as it took to find the one we really loved!! He worked with our colors, and knew the style we were trying to accomplish. He worked as if it were for his own party. It would be amazing if every vendor could be as accommodating and reliable as he is. After finalizing everything, I was really looking forward to seeing them in person. They arrived in time and Ken provided precise instructions on how to store them. They were beyond what I expected!! From my first email to Ken inquiring about prices to the actual wedding, I had on my list of things to do to make sure I write a great review for him. It was a pleasure working with him. There are definitely some vendors I would suggest not to use, but Ken is not one of them! I would definitely recommend him!!

I am so very happy I found this vendor. He is worth the time and money to look into. I found out about chocolate place cards, two weeks before my wedding, and knew it was something I had to have. I didn't find Chocolate Dreams until a week before my wedding, and Ken was SUPER AWESOME. Within a short amount of time he helped me design the chocolate, and worked like crazy to get the names done. He communicated with me, and did everything possible to get them to me on time. The chocolate was awesome, and came on very cute stands. My wedding planner was even impressed. He was so very kind and patient. I will most definitely use him again and recommend him to friends and family.

We ordered chocolate place cards from Chocolate Dreams and Wishes and were very pleased with the product and level of service. Ken was a gem to work with. He was helpful, responsive, and very professional. Our guests were very impressed with their place cards. Most people saved their favors, but some ate them and could not stop raving about how good the chocolate was! We were looking for something different, didn't want to do the same ole' place cards, and boy did this place deliver. If you're looking for an unusual twist for your wedding favors.....then I highly recommend Chocolate Dreams and Wishes!

Hello Ken,
I hope this finds you well. I am back from my honeymoon and
settled into my new home with my husband! As I look back on my
wedding day, I cannot help but think of all the wonderful details that
went in towards making it so special. Your genius and particular
attention to detail from the first email correspondence to the phone
call we shared with regard to the weather for the shipping, was
spectacular. I cannot think of anything better that a customer would
ask of a vendor. You provided me with spectacular service and a
remarkable product! I will forever cherish every detail of my wedding
including the chocolate menus you made for me. For each and every
prospective client, please read this and understand how much I am
grateful to Ken for all of his work and help to make my wedding day so
special, especially, when I was so stressed and scared it would turn
out otherwise. Ken, thank you from the bottom of my heart! I hope to
work again with you for a future event sometime soon.
Kindest regards,
Anahi Garza

Chocolate Dreams & Wishes made my place cards for my wedding in October. I used the dark chocolate with the white writing for the guests and the white chocolate for me and the groom. They were perfect and doubled as a favor! Thanks to Ken for being so professional and ensuring my favors/place cards were timely and looked awesome!
GUEST
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! Everyone loved the chocolate favors and we received so many compliments on them. Definitely a hit! Thanks so much!
GUEST
We had chocolate place cards that also served as wedding favors. They were a smash hit. Everyone was talking about them. The graphics on the cards were beautiful. We also saved money by combining place cards & favors. Ken was very helpful and easy to work with. Although they tasted good, nobody would eat them. They took them home instead.
GUEST
The chocolate placecards were a hit! Our guests are still talking about them. Although I was concerned that the chocolate would melt on the trip from PA to MD, my worries were not realized in any shape or form. The chocolate was well packed and cool to the touch. If you want to work with a vendor who will meet all deadlines and give you a unique, quality product for a great price call Ken.

The chocolate place cards were such a hit at our wedding. They were functional and yummy too. Some guests loved the place cards so much that they don't want to eat them! Ken was great with designing the place cards until I was happy with the look and everything was so well packed. All the cards arrived safely with no problems. The chocolate place cards were one of the wedding details I most enjoyed. Very cute and unique.
GUEST
There aren’t enough words to tell you how impressed we were by the chocolate menu cards and place cards. They were truly the hit of the wedding. Our guests just couldn’t believe that they were made from chocolate. Such a novel idea for wedding favors. You did a fantastic job with the graphics and the printing of them.
It certainly was a pleasure working with you, Ken....from the first concept to the final shipment. I am looking forward to our next event so I can order again from you. Many thanks again for making my daughter’s wedding very special and unique!
Most grateful,
Gail Fowler

We got chocolate escort cards. Ken designed them (using an image from our invitations) and made them, and they were great!
Everything is better in chocolate, and it was really cool to have your name on it! We got quite a few compliments on them -- no one had ever seen them before!
I was most impressed by how quick the shipping process was. He shipped it the Monday before, and it arrived on the Tuesday. He also asked us to email when we got it to make sure that we did -- I thought that was great. I liked everything about my experience with...
GUEST
Ken from Chocolate Dreams And Wishes was fabulous to work with! He responded quickly to my questions, and did a fabulous job with the design. I sent in a rough draft of the design I wanted and he made it even better! The menus arrived promptly and in perfect condition! My guests LOVED them...so much that one of my guests yelled out to the rest of the reception "oh my god! did you know the menus were chocolate! this is the most amazing thing ever!" They were delicious too! I was concerned about flavor since I couldn't taste them before buying them, but they were delicious! I wish I ordered more just to eat them after the wedding!
GUEST
Ken, we received our chocolate place cards and they are wonderful. They are exactly what I expected, both Shawn and Jen are going to love them. Your willingness to create what I wanted is going to make our event so special. With so many guests from out of the country, the cards are going to be a topic of conversation. Thank you for all you effort, your creativity produced special items but more importantly we will have special memories forever. Thank you again for truly caring about what I wanted and making it happen
GUEST
The chocolate place cards were way better than I even hoped. I received a lot of compliments from the guests at the wedding saying how unique they were, and that they tasted great! I received great service from Ken at Chocolate Dreams and Wishes as well, in working to design the layout as well as helping design a personal rhyming note to guests on the back. I received prompt return on all emails and phone calls, and really felt like he took the time to work with me so that everything was perfect for us on our big day. I was a little worried about having the chocolate place cards shipped, but everything was carefully packed and not a single card was damaged in any way. If you're looking for something unique to use as a favor or place card for your wedding they are definitely the way to go!
GUEST

You can place your order at any time and we will not produce your chocolate until just prior to your requested ship date. I recommend securing your date, with a non-refundable deposit of $100. This deposit will 'save the date' for your event.
How should I store my chocolate once I receive it?
Chocolate is best kept in a cool dark place, at temperatures between 68°-72°F. Your chocolates should not be refrigerated or frozen, as this will damage the chocolates and images. Chocolates with images might fade if exposed to direct light for too long, so store them out of direct light until your event. It is also important that you avoid storing your chocolate near materials with strong odors. Chocolate can absorb nearby odors, thus altering the flavor of the product.
How long will the chocolate stay fresh once I receive it?
Our chocolates will stay at peak freshness for approximately two months and is safe to consume up to six months after you receive your order.
