Grand Opening VIP Pre-Party moved to Fri, Feb 1 6:00-8:00 p.m.

Update #15 · Jan 18, 2013 · 1 comment

As with any new restaurant opening or construction, unexpected delays may occur. I’m sorry to have to move the VIP Grand Opening Pre-Party, but I want to make sure everything is in working order before we open our doors to you and this special event. The VIP Grand Opening Pre-Party has now been officially moved to Friday, Feb 1 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. 

We’ll be following up with everyone individually again to confirm attendance and we truly appreciate your patience. For the inconvenience to all, we will also be giving each attendee a buy one get one free brunch voucher worth $16. This is in addition to the chocolate goodie bag ($10 retail value) and the EC sticker.

Thanks to everyone who has generously contributed to our campaign. If you cannot make it to the event on Feb 1, we are honoring a $50 store credit to any goods or services. Those who already responded for the $50 credit, you have the option of attending now if the Feb 1 date and time works for you. Email us on Kickstarter or at info@eclipsechocolat.com to inquire about the credit. 

We're very excited to reveal the new Eclipse Chocolate Bar & Bistro in South Park during this special evening. This is still an EXCLUSIVE and PRIVATE event just for those who purchased tickets. We will be tray passing samples of our new brunch menu items and pastries, along with some tasty beverages!

We're still offering these VIP tickets for ANY Kickstarter funder or friend of a funder. Tickets are $25 each. Each guest will also receive a chocolate goodie bag ($10 retail value) & the EC sticker. RSVP by calling us at the cafe at 619-578-2984.

As a reminder, this exclusive PREVIEW event will be separate from our Platinum Ticket competition and our main Grand Opening celebration that happens the next day on Saturday, Feb 2.

See you soon,

If you haven't already done so, drop by the cafe now & fill out a FREE entry before Sat, Dec 29 (one entry per person). All those in attendance can enjoy a 15% discount on ALL packaged retail chocolate. We'll also be celebrating, so there will be some experimental secret flavor drinking chocolate & other tray passed goodies for all who are present.
