My review was too long for the maximum 2000 character limit, please review this google doc with my full review, thank you!

Overall it was super amazing, I had a wonderful time, and thank you so much for hosting this event! It gave me time to connect with the local LADs girlies that I've met from other local events. I hope all the businesses involved flourish :)

The unofficial Love and Deepspace event by Sweet Escape was truly amazing! Everyone that I talked to was having an amazing time. The decorations, cosplayers, vendors, and small businesses were spectacular and really put the event onto the next level. The interactions I had with each cosplayer made it feel just like the official offline events held in China! The staff were really nice as well and I could tell they cared about our experience. My favorite part was the cotton candy and the 1-1 date I won in the raffle (such a unique idea!!).
Overall, it was a great way to meet new friends and just be surrounded by people into the same thing as me!
The only criticism was that some people were confused by which line to be stand in at the beginning of the event when there were multiple lines being formed. But I think that was the only time I saw confusion!!
I really hope there is another love and deepspace event soon!!

It was sooo fun! I loved how there were many things to do, like the bingo card, throughout the event. The cosplayers were super friendly as well, made it more inviting. I had a fun time with my mom and we would love to attend another event like this

It was so amazing, I’m glad this time there were improvements from the first event! I loved how beautiful the decorations were, I loved the bingo activity, I wish we could’ve had more games and fun activities to do instead of just buying things cus most of the time we were just standing around. I really enjoyed the cosplayers ( would def love to see them in the future if they want to do this again!) I LOVEDD how interactive the cosplayers were too ( especially xavier) and how on point they were as the characters. I would’ve liked the raffle area to have ALL the raffle boxes there because I turned in all of my raffles into the 1 on 1 dates and later I came back to check that you guys added more things that I wish I could’ve used half my other raffles for. I loved that there was an mc as well and all the fun vendors. Thank you so much for hosting this amazing event! It was truly a blessing.

I had such a great time at Sweet Escape’s Love and Deepspace event! Overall, it was a really fun and memorable experience.

The cosplayers were all incredibly kind and welcoming. I do wish a few of them had been a bit more engaging, but they were still very sweet and respectful. I also really appreciated that the event allowed attendees who didn’t purchase meet-and-greet tickets to still attend and interact with the cosplayers. It made the space feel more inclusive and community-focused.

The vendors were great, though it seemed like a few of them sold out within the first three hours. That just shows how strong the turnout was! The check-in and photo-op lines weren’t too bad, but clearer signage would have helped. Labeling each line and possibly adding line barriers to separate mall shoppers from event attendees would make things flow more smoothly. I noticed a few girls accidentally waited in the wrong line and had to start over, which was unfortunate.

It would have also been helpful if the event schedule had been released at least a day in advance instead of the day of. That way, attendees could better plan their time. Advertising could be improved as well—I heard from a few people that they only found out about the event about a week beforehand.

That said, the turnout was amazing. I didn’t realize there were so many Hunters here in Minnesota! I loved reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones. It would be even better to have more interactive activities to help Hunters engage with each other.

Overall, I’m not upset anything—just small details that could improve the event’s flow. I truly enjoyed my time and would absolutely attend more events like this in the future if they continue hosting them.

So good! Everything was so pretty and so well set up! And the boys looked absolutely amazing and it was so good! I hope they do something like this again soon!

Had a lot of fun with all the cosplayers, everyone was awesome and nice. I won a 1 on 1 with Sylus which was very fun, I wish the time was a little longer though (like 15min instead of 10). There was also some great merch as well. I think it would be cool if a LADS Halloween event happened as well. It also was very organized for a first event.
