Party FAQ’s 

What is included with my package?

Each package has different details, but all include a demonstration, lesson, chocolate samples, and up to 1/2 pound of chocolate to make and take home!

How many people can I bring to make chocolate?

We have an 8-person minimum and a 30-40 person maximum for on-site parties. Offsite parties are also available and require a $750 total pre-tax bill minimum.

Can 2 people share 1 party package?

No, each package is priced for each individual participant to taste samples, make chocolate, and participate in the lesson.

How long should I expect my party to last?

Typically, a party of 10 people or less will last approximately an hour. Parties greater than 10 may last 1.5-2 hours. The addition of cake, business meetings, opening of gifts or enjoying other food/drink will lengthen time. Please let us know if you have a special circumstance that may affect normal party times.

How old do you have to be to reserve a party?

We've hosted chocolate-making parties for guests ranging from ages 4 to 92! However, children under 6 typically need extra hands-on assistance from an adult to fully enjoy the experience.

How can I reserve a chocolate-making party?

Reservations can be made in store, via phone, or online. A non-refundable deposit is required and will go towards your chocolate-making session. A one time date or time change can be made up to 1 one week prior to your event, based on availability.

How should I pay?

We accept all forms of payment, and party packages can be paid individually or as a single bill. A sales tax, credit card fee, and a 22% gratuity will be added to all purchases. Any previously paid deposit will be deducted from the final bill.

Can I bring my own wine/beer or non-alcoholic beverage to the party?

No, but we offer a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks available for purchase in-store. You’re welcome to bring fruit or cheese trays with minimal aromas. If you're unsure about what to bring, please contact the boutique directly.

Can I bring birthday presents to open onsite?

Of course, and as long as time allows! Just let us know prior to the party if you’d like time to do this so we can accommodate. Don’t forget the camera!

Should I bring decorations?

Any themed decorations can be brought onsite, however most people prefer to enjoy the store decor as it is. Balloons are always a nice addition to any party! Please check with us beforehand if you want to bring decorations that may cause mess.

Can I still make chocolate if I have a dairy and/or nut allergy?

While we are not a certified dairy-free, gluten-free, or nut-free facility, many guests with these sensitivities have enjoyed making chocolate with us. Please inform us of any allergies prior to your party. Guests should use their best judgment when considering dietary restrictions, as The Chocolate Boutique cannot be held responsible for undisclosed allergies.

Can I still make chocolate if I am gluten-intolerant?

Yes, chocolate is naturally gluten-free and although we are not a certified gluten-free facility, many gluten-intolerant customers enjoy our chocolates that do not contain cookies, pretzels, rice, etc.

What chocolate can I eat during the party?

Guests will enjoy a variety of chocolate samples during the party and make plenty to take home. We kindly ask that you refrain from snacking on toppings or eating chocolate directly from the funnels. Additional chocolate is always available for purchase in our retail space.

Am I limited to 1/2 pound of chocolate?

Not at all! Each party package includes up to a generous ½ pound of chocolate, which will be weighed and packaged for you to take home. If you'd like to make more, additional chocolate is available at just $19.99 per pound. Most guests use between one and two chocolate molds. While we do our best to estimate portions, the final amount will be weighed after production.

Do you give group discounts?

Our packages are thoughtfully priced to reflect the quality of products and services provided. To ensure fairness and consistency, we offer the same pricing to all guests, and discounts are not available for parties.
