Sweet News for Chocolate Lovers in Spokane Who says you can't mix business with pleasure?

Jennifer Evans founder and principal of Encore Events, has proven it is possible to do exactly that and has quickly gained a reputation in Spokane for creating unforgettable events.

“I thrive on delighting you - my valued customer - by helping host events that meet or exceed your business goals.”

Jennifer Evans, Encore Events

Her passion and skill has driven her to produce a wide variety of big scale events such as award nights, conferences and trade shows, and pixie filled magical evenings featuring entertainment by rock n’ roll legends. In addition to being thoroughly entertaining, every event she produces serves an important purpose: to help grow a brand and a business.

Signature events, those that stand out above the rest, are at the heart of Encore Events.

Decadence! the upcoming Spokane Chocolate Festival is a perfect example of that as it combines a love of chocolate and creating a unique event experience. Decadence! is a first year event that will bring together renowned chocolatiers, confectioners, and chefs from the Inland Northwest and beyond on November 7th to dazzle you and your senses. There is no need to hold back as all are invited to indulge in a wide variety of sweet, savory and swirled creations perfectly paired with music, art and wine.

Decadence! is the first proprietary event produced by the Encore Events team and it is focused on garnering attention in the chocolate community and showcasing Spokane in a totally new and unique way. Jennifer told us, “The initial announcement has been well received. After all, who doesn't love chocolate?

In addition to recruiting chocolate lovers and artisans from a large and diverse area, we are proud of our commitment to give back to the 4

community starting in year one. An investment in Decadence! is also an investment in Inland NW Baby – a beloved diaper bank serving the Greater Spokane area. We will be donating proceeds from this event to Inland NW Baby so they can continue to meet the basic needs of babies in our area.”

Modeled after successful chocolate events throughout the nation, Jennifer intends Decadence! to grow and make a significant impact in our region. Jennifer notes, “Our goal is to attract visitors and potential new business while supporting local families through a medium that is beloved my many - chocolate! We sincerely hope you will join us in our efforts.”
