One of the pleasures of running chocolate workshops (and there are many!) is meeting our fabulous clients. For a start they are usually celebrating something be it a Birthday, forthcoming wedding, simply being together, receiving a “gift” for Christmas or Easter, or like a recent couple, were marking their wedding anniversary, so clients are happy and looking to have a fabulous time.
Our very special couple were real chocoholics and wanting to try their hands at making their own chocolates. Having researched several experiences they were keen to get involved, rather than simply watch a demonstration, or make just chocolate bars. They also wanted to have an exclusive event rather than share their afternoon by being matched up with another pair. So much so, that they asked if they could make double quantities of chocolates and pay for all 4 places.
Of course we are always flexible and pride ourselves in making every experience unique, so we set our minds to offering some different aspects for their workshop. We added some more luxurious, items dried fruit, infused fruit and nuts and they also used some moulds to see how real chocolatiers operate.
We have a dog at Chocwork HQ and we check with all clients before they book what they think about a dog in the property. Not everyone feels comfortable having a dog around (however friendly they might be) Having reassured ourselves that Rufus would be no trouble we underestimated just how dog friendly our couple would be. Whilst he was crated (his happy place) throughout the afternoon he enjoyed a fuss and cuddle after the workshop. They also brought along some treats so Rufus enjoyed their visit as much as our couple did.
And the letter and gifts that arrived 2 days after the workshop show just how much they appreciated their time with us.
