1 Where are classes hosted.png
Looking for a fun activity for your upcoming corporate networking event, holiday party, birthday party, bachelorette party, etc.? Look no further!
 
We offer private events for groups of 4-20+ people.
​
We'll lead you through a luxury candle making experience where each guest will design a custom candle fragrance and pour their own candle (which you'll take home that day!)
​
We'll handle all of the set-up, materials and clean-up -- your group will just show up and enjoy, and there's absolutely no prior experience required!

It's up to you!
  • Option 1: We'll host class in our Westbrook, Maine candle studio
  • Option 2: We partner with several wineries, breweries, and studio spaces to host private candle classes in downtown Portland, Maine, so you can pick the vibe that works best for your event.
  • Option 3: We can also come to you so you can make your candles in the comfort of your own home, office, Airbnb, etc.! We can bring our set-up on the go within 30 minutes of Portland, Maine (or farther for an additional fee).
​​Classes typically last between 1.5 - 2 hours depending on the group size. However, we can tailor this to your needs.

YES! Your candles need to dry for 30-45 minutes after being poured, so we’ll start class with candle making, then spend the second half of class covering candle burning tips, how to pour your own candles at home, and answering any questions your group has about candle making.

Can't recommend Lauren and Underdog Candles enough! She hosted a private candle making event for our corporate women's group, and we all had such a great time. An awesome way to connect with each other while also trying out something new and getting a sweet candle to bring home. Lauren was professional, organized, and made it such a great experience from start to finish!
