Once again the most fabulous experience!!! But this review I specifically want to mention someone…read moreI've seen before but really got to know. Ciara is BEYOND amazing so beautiful inside and out, knowledgeable with so much background in botanical garden field and then some! She hand makes most of the candles here and was SO helpful with absolutely every question I have (the other girls are lovely too) but Ciara I would trust with my life when it comes to taking advice with any and every candle, incense, soap, decorations, and everything because there is so much that can be overwhelming she gives a very safe and nonjudgmental vibe. What an amazingly woman SO good at her craft with these beautiful soaps and candles, I already can't wait to come back and see her to get a couple birthday presents for my sister and bestie in July! I'm happy she's there most days and you can always tell when someone loves their job because they just glow. She's one of those people and if you ever need any advice?! I swear she's the go to!!! I ended up getting a of their couple candles, some wax melts, incense, an incense holder, 2 pieces of soap, and she helped me pick out all of it! I got all of these things a little over 20$ and she helped me find EVERYTHING!!! Super good deals, and definitely bang for your buck! I can't wait to use my new things and thank you again Ciara and you're lovely ladies for making my day and heart happy with fun things I'm interested in like this!

The one I got was a scent called Nag champam..This place is beautiful, clean and inviting. If you're looking for a gift they will even wrap it for you.. You really can't but a price on the quality.

The owner, Christine, was super helpful from beginning to end. There was ample time given at each step to make your selections. You get to choose the size and shape of your candle basin, mixed a custom scent, and then decorate to your heart's delight. Not only did we have a lot of laughs, but we got to take home two great candles. The total cost is just a $25 deposit for the class and the cost of your chosen base. Fabulous value! We will definitely be back to do this again with friends.

Will 100% be coming back with friends and family!

The best customer service we've had was provided by the young female worker.

We will visit their Reno Public Market location and plan on having a long love affair with Amour.

Also still offering alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages to sip on while creating. The large wall of containers gives you many options for size, color and glass, metal, or ceramic bases. Take your time and explore equally large choices of scents. Then staffs walks you through weighing, mixing and pouring the wax. Since I was in town for the weekend, I decided to let it set for several and come back later to pick up. Not for first time at Maddy's. Love the way their candles burn. And it's a fun solo or group activity. Limited street parking in front or a city parking lot a block away.

The location is in a beautiful storefront with lots of historical charm and character, conveniently on the main street (which hopefully will bring in lots of foot traffic to this sweet spot). Not only do they help you make candles, but you can also buy pre-made candles (if you don't have the time to sit a spell and make your own) and other cute decor, unique art, or antiques. Mary was very helpful and friendly throughout the whole process: from selecting our vessels to determining which scent(s) to use or mix and finally constructing the final product. One of the main perks of making a candle at Maddy's Place is that you can come back with your vessel and refill it The other important ingredient to a girls night - wine, of course! - was also readily available and a great selection for their limited space. For the price of the candle (very reasonable compared to most custom/homemade candles), it was an enjoyable evening that was topped off with going out on the town for dinner and a few beverages while our candles cooled...what a perfect excuse to extend our girls night! I look forward to coming back with my kids to try one of the classes and/or candle dipping.

There are a few options to do such as making a candle, garden, and painting. They also have a to-go slime kit.  We were leaving Tahoe that day so we wanted to make something that we could bring home the same day. The kids each made a garden and a candle. For the garden, we chose a pot which varies in price. We then got to choose a real or fake plant. To plant, small rocks went in first for drainage and then we filled it with dirt. Now comes the fun part to decorate with the add ons. There were different types and color rocks, moss, and tiny figurines. My kiddo loved getting his creativity on with all the options.  For the candle, we chose a container which varies in price also. We then got to choose the colored wax to break it apart. It was actually easier to break it with the hands then cut it up. Once we were done with that part, we got to choose a scent, then a wick was added, and clear gloss was poured over to seal it.  It was a cute and fun experience. The best part is that all supplies are provided, and no cleaning is needed.

Hoping I can order directly from them because they truly are my favorite candles and the owners are such kind people!

We will definitely go back there due to the very nice and respectful service we received as well as the great prices. Gardnerville is lucky to have this business! Thanks guys!
