    Perfect Wedding Favor

    My wedding involved mostly out of town gifts. I wanted to find something that would be special to the SWFL area and not a favor that people would throw away/keep in some closet for years to come. I decided on some kind of food item and I knew Norman Love had these cute seashell chocolates. It turns out that Norman Love has several ways to give a chocolate favor to your guests. You first choose a box and the number of chocolates you want. I thought 2 chocolates was all that was needed. It turns out they have a beautiful pearl white box. This would be their mid-level cost box. I picked the seashell (key lime) and salted caramel truffle. They were perfect. The guests loved them. I ordered so I would have a couple extra to snack on after the wedding. Ordering was very easy. Pick up was easy. All I had to do was call the Naples location and let them know my MOH was picking them up. Super easy favor that the guests all enjoyed.

    Norman Love provided the desserts for our wedding and they were delicious! We’d decided we didn’t want to serve cake, because, well, we like other things more than cake. And after having their brownies, cookies and key lime tarts, I am thrilled with our decision. They were also able to provide a gluten free option for some of our guests with food allergies. We’d like to make a special mention of Rachel Murray at Norman Love with whom we communicated by email. She was amazingly helpful in arranging our ideal spread of desserts, and was always incredibly thorough and prompt (more so than us even) at answering our questions and figuring out what would work for us. And we were able to pick everything up at the store near us and it was all fresh and ready to go. Very happy with our experience.

    Having grown up on the west coast of Florida I knew that Norman Love Chocolates were to die for and just the unique home town touch I wanted at our wedding. Now I just had to figure out how to communicate my ideas across the state, Miranda was absolute joy to work with. She listened to all of my ideas and gave me suggestions on how to make them come to life. I told her I trust her to make the final calls and knew she would not disappoint. Miranda and her team created an absolutely beautiful cake that was just what I wanted, it was simply elegant. We also had worked with Miranda to create a dessert bar to show case some of our Norman Love favorites. I can say with confidence this was one of our guest favorite features!

    LOVE is what Norman Love Confections is all about! I have always been a true fan of the artistry and incredible work the Norman Love Confections pastry chefs and chocolatiers accomplish. They did not disappoint. Our guests are still talking about the incredible cake, which was custom designed down to the last detail, and incredible display of mini pastries we had as desserts for our guests. Our cake was one of a kind with a chocolate sculpture airplane for my pilot husband. The sculpture is now on display at our house. The cake was designed to incorporate his pilot background and my love of quotes to include a sky-writing message around the cake. It was truly unbelievable!!! It is a cake that will never be forgotten and was incredibly delicious with a handmade vanilla cream and fruit filling. We also selected to have mini pastries, 5 varieties, for our guests to choose and the Norman Love Confections team created each one with true artistry and love and did an incredible display and set up. I would never dream of working with anyone else for such a special event! We used Norman Love Confections signature chocolate gift boxes as gifts for our vendors and family and friends. For our ceremony on the beach, the Norman Love chefs created beach themed cupcakes that guests are still raving about. We can't thank them enough for the special touches their team created to make our wedding truly sweet. They are the best in the business not only in SWFL but in the world. You will not regret working with this talented team.

    We ordered our favors from Norman Love. We did a taste testing prior, and they were very helpful with letting us try out different options. The order was ready when we went to pick it up, and they made it easy to differentiate between the different flavors. Guests loved them!

    Norman Love provided our 8'' round cake, cupcakes, and chocolate truffle favors for our wedding on Sanibel. We have known about Norman Love chocolate for a very long time, but were pleasantly surprised to find out that they also do wedding cakes!

    Our cupcakes were delicious - for a 130 person wedding, we were given the choice of three flavors out of a number of options (cakes, frostings, fillings, toppings...) given to us at our tasting, which was in the Ft. Myers location. We were also given the choice of small fondant detail (for free!) which was a nice surprise. We also rented a cupcake stand - nice to not have to provide our own. I personally thought the cupcakes were a very good value as well.

    Of course we already knew how good the truffles were for the favors - however, Norman Love went above and beyond to allow us four different flavors for our two truffle boxes.

    We worked directly with Miranda Prince to coordinate all of this, who is very, very talented and also extremely easy to work with! Her suggestions and recommendations for number of cupcakes, flavor pairings, etc. were spot on.

    Thank you Norman Love!

    We had Norman Love bake our wedding cake and groomscake. Both cakes were amazing and the best cake we have ever had. Very moist and full of flavor. Delivery of both cakes to Captiva Island was right on time with no hiccups (no melting!!). I would highly recommend their business to anyone planning a wedding or their next party!!

    Having known Norman Love for years and the quality of his products, we were so excited to hear he had hired a new head pastry Chef, Miranda Prince. The selection of favors was somewhat intimidating at first, but after explains the favorite flavors of the brides taste and the grooms taste she suggested, and delivered a perfect combination.
    You know that piece of wedding cake you have at most receptions? Well this was a delicious dessert! So many wanted to know where did we get that cake? It was as beautiful on the outside, as it was delicious on the inside. My compliments to the Chef!

    I chose the seashell cake for my beach wedding and my actual wedding cake looked EXACTLY as pictured. Not only that, but it was unbelievably tasty. Even the fondant was exceptional. If you want the dream of a lifetime wedding cake, Norman Love is the place to get it.

    I knew even before I got married that if I ever got married I wanted to do Norman Love chocolates as my favors because they are incredibly delicious. Well, in the craziness of planning my wedding I actually forgot to order the favors until a week before the wedding. I was so nervous that I was going to have to figure something else out. But, because of the high level of service that Norman Love provides they were able to accommodate me even though I was placing the order much later that desired. All of my guest truly enjoyed the chocolates and some of them even made a pit stop at Norman Love on their way back to the airport to pick up a box to enjoy at home. Although they are a little on the expensive side, they are well worth it.

    I'm a UK bride who married in Florida. When planning our wedding, I stumbled upon a picture of Norman Love's signature green favor boxes online which would work perfectly with our chocolate brown/lime green colour scheme. I knew there and then we had to have these! I tracked down their website and emailed Lisa Mariani - from that first email, I got the most attentive and passionate service. My emails were always answered promptly and, when I asked about flavor combinations (we could choose two - which was sooo hard as they all sounded divine!) Lisa was honest about what was popular and gave me helpful advice (beware of guests who may have nut allergies for instance) to steer our choices. After (no lie) DAYS trying to choose, we finally settled on the Key Lime Shell (white) and Raspberry (dark). I called up and placed my order in minutes - so easy! - and arranged for them to be delivered the day before our wedding to ensure they were fresh. Oh. My. Word. These were the cutest favors I have EVER seen! The boxes were beautiful and, unlike other favors I've come across, the chocolates weren't just loose inside; it was literally a miniature chocolate box with individual compartments for each chocolate, overlayed with a padded card, all wrapped in brown paper, sealed with a Norman Love sticker. The attention to detail is incredible and this was before we even got to the chocolates inside! And the chocolates... WOW! I have never tasted anything so true to its flavor before in my life. They were absolutely yummy! I can definitely recommend those two flavors, for sure! Just a bit sad that we live in the UK and I can't try more!

    Rachel did a beautiful job with the cake. We had a three tier cake made of vanilla cake, chocolate mousse, and fresh raspberries. The cake tasted delicious and our guests could not get enough. My husband and I ate the top tier of the cake within a few days after the wedding. It was too good to freeze and wait a whole year to eat.

    I had Norman Love do boxes of chocolates for our wedding favors. We chose cupcake and cheesecake. Our guests were practically stealing them from eachother. They were amazing, and the were gift wrapped perfectly.

    I simply love the chocolates from Norman Love. I obsessed over the G collection from Godiva for years, so of course I couldn't think of any place better to get my wedding favors from. The chocolates are beautiful, like little jewels, so pretty you almost don't want to eat them! Of course you'll regret it if you don't because the flavor combinations are positively sinful. They're a little pricey, but all great chocolate is. You're guests will be pleasantly surprised with these wedding favors, and you won't be disappointed.

    My cupcakes were beautiful and tasty for my wedding. My only complaint is the cupcake samples I recieved before my wedding as a test were much much larger then the ones I recieved the day of. For the price of each one they were definitely too small.

    We had a beautiful cupcake wedding cake, that was also delicious. They were a little difficult to get in contact with at times, but it was likely due to the Holidays, however we were very impressed with our wedding cake. It was exactly what we had discussed over the phone and through email because it was a destination wedding, and it was perfect.

    The cake was beautiful, but it was not the taste you would expect from norman love. I was very upset that this is what we got for the day of the wedding.
