We're taking a quick Spring Break from May 13-21. Orders placed after 5/11 will ship out once we return!
We bring the candles, the scents, and the setup. You just bring the people.
Why go to a candle bar when you can enjoy one in the comfort of your own space?! We show up, set everything up, guide your guests through the process, and handle cleanup, so you can simply enjoy your event.
Guests will leave with an experience AND a unique favor: their own custom candle!
Perfect for groups of 6-20+ looking to celebrate a birthday, bachelorette parties, bridal shower, baby shower, corporate team building event, and more!

PRIVATE EVENT FAQS
Is there set-up and break-down time?
For events hosted in your own space, we’ll arrive 45 min. prior to your event start to set up, and once your event ends, we’ll break down and leave your space better than we found it within 30 min.
How far in advance should I book my private event?
The short answer: as soon as you know you'd like to book us!
We need a minimum of 1 week's notice to ensure we'll have the supplies and staff to make your event perfect. However, we tend to book up quickly on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, so the earlier the better!
Can we bring our candles home that day?
Yes! Your candles need ~45 minutes to dry after pouring. Once they’re dry, we’ll trim your wick and package your candle up for easy transport. We suggest letting them cure for 7 days at home before burning for best results.
What’s required to book?
-
For groups of 1-20: We require a deposit for our minimum group size of 6 people. To give you flexibility, we’ll check in 7 days prior to your event to confirm your final headcount, and send a final invoice for the remaining balance at that time.
-
For candle “station” events / groups of 21-100: We require a 50% deposit, and an invoice for the remaining 50% balance will be sent 7 days prior to your event.
Do your instructors accept gratuities?
While gratuities are never expected or required, they are certainly appreciated if your instructor created a phenomenal experience.
If you'd prefer a non-monetary method of tipping, as a small business, a Google Review goes a long way and is equally appreciated!
What's your age policy for candle making?
We love kids and they're definitely welcome at your event! Their level of involvement in the actual candle making will depend on their age:
​
-
Guests under age 8 are welcome to attend your event, but are not able to make their own candle (but they can supervise their parent/guardian as they make one!)
​
-
Guests age 8-11 are welcome to make their own candle, but a parent or guardian must be present to supervise their candle making
