    I read all the bad reviews and thought "it can't be that bad, it's a Fest in Wisconsin". I was…read morewrong, friends - so wrong. I've never in my life left a Wisco fest after 40 minutes and been actively pissed off, but congrats to you Chocolate Fest for coming in well below my low expectations. Have you been to State Fair? Imagine that, but with all the good parts left out. Basically, it's the super sketchy Midway area, with the kind of people who hang out there. You have to pay to get in which is a joke considering there is literally nothing to see or do whatsoever. Parking is in a muddy field and is $5. If you're smart (we weren't) you'll take one of the local businesses up on their $5 parking which includes 2 beers. Once inside, you'll enjoy exactly no local food providers except LD's BBQ which is the one and only redeeming thing here. Where are the brats? The roasted corn? If you want funnel cakes or deep fried cookie dough, yeah they've got that. ONE beer stand. Located on the opposite end of the site from the portajohns (there appeared to be ~20 in total). What? There's an "expo tent" which consists of 12 moms pushing their MLM Lularoe crap. So, anyway - it's called Chocolate Fest. So about that - there's the "chocolate experience" tent which involves maybe 10 places selling stuff. Ohhhhhkkaay. Or you can buy the same Nestle garbage that's available at any Walgreens for twice the price. How does this shitfest stay in business year after year? And for 3 days, no less? Everyone involved with this travesty in any way should be ashamed of themselves for desecrating the concept of a WI festival.

    This was a nice festival, however, it is misleading to name it Chocolate Fest...it should really be…read morethe Burlington Festival sponsored by Nestle. The Chocolate tent was small and though there were some good samples, I felt we didn't a good bargain paying the extra money for the samples. The petting zoo was fun and there were plenty of other food options and things to see and do. I just wish the name was different so you wouldn't have a different Idea in your mind when coming. You imagine Chocolate fountains everywhere and booths creatively using chocolate for different dishes and products and it just falls flat in that regard. However, it was relatively cheap to get in, parking options are ample and many closer to the venue give you free drinks as incentive to park there. We actually found free street parking a block or two away so that was even better. All in all we had a good time and would definitely return next year!

    BFTP performed at my wedding reception this past weekend and the dance floor was overflowing from…read morethe very first song through the very last. They are one of those bands that 30 seconds into the first song you know you made the right choice, and your guests know they're in for a hell of a night. Working with John was super easy, and the family aspect the band has really helps you stay at ease throughout the process. We cannot recommend BFTP enough, and are looking forward to telling people we had them back when! Thank you guys and girls so much for making our wedding so fun!

    If I can give them a million stars, I would! We booked BFTP for our wedding, and all of our guests…read moreare still talking about how great they were. They really made our wedding day! I almost feel a little guilty because I was on the dance floor the whole time. But like the prior review said, they were so good, the dance floor was packed! Prior to the wedding, me, my husband, mom and dad thought we would see them first at a bar before we sealed the deal. We were walking thru the parking lot and I could hear them and already knew. When we walked in the bar we were greeted by the wife (sorry, forgot her name). But so sweet. Paid the cover charge and within minutes we were on the dance floor! SOLD! John was great thruoughout the coming days for our wedding. He thought of things I didnt, and the contract was so easy. They really wanted to make it special for us. The day of the wedding, they blew our mind! They surprised us with so many extra things, beyond our expectations. The band was the hit of the night so much that my family wants to do it again. My greatest memory of my wedding is BFTP, it will always be, and our family and friends will be the biggest fans!
