    We decided to take a candle making class to celebrate our one year anniversary and I am so glad we did. The ambiance of this place was great. There were 4 tables that seat 6 individuals each for these classes. When we walked in, we were greeted, told to grab an apron and were directed where to sit. Everything that would be needed was laid out at each seat. You get to use a single fragrance or mix two together. There is a wide selection of jars to choose from for your candle. They walk you through every step. You get to add gems, stones, florals, and/or glitter to your candle. When done, they will add finishing touches and have them ready for pick up within an hour. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and it was cool to see how candles are made. I highly recommend this place for a cute date night idea or if you and your girlfriends are looking for something fun to do together. The class is roughly an hour long. You do have to reserve a spot online ahead of time. Thank you for helping us create wonderful memories!

    My partner and I just wandered in on a whim and decided to join the class--and it was amazing! We had such a great time and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and spontaneous adventure!

    The space is incredible! Nicely appointed with wonderful gift items for purchase. Friends celebrated a birthday by making personalized candles in a variety of scents. Antuan assistance in the process was amazing, he was so much fun and led us through the process with so much professional . Highly recommend.

    You'll have a fun time making candles here! You're able to choose 2 scents and any decorations you want! The class is 1 hour and they walk you through everything. You will have to wait to pick up your candle following the class but didn't take that long. There's restaurants nearby to hang out while you wait!

    Milo was the best host , however ... Honestly wasn't worth the money very basic lol $55 ish per person Felt like we could've got a glass of wine and more vibes for the price But it was good time to just do something different. Small setting , nice clean and friendly staff . (PS....Be prepared to walk around and wait 45mins to 1hr to get the final product ... they have to heat seal it then u come back to get it . Or you have 30 days to pick up if u can't with around same day. )

    We had a fantastic candlemaking class with Sunshine. It was a lot of fun, a lot of variety in terms of scents and vessels and accessories, and overall very informative. You get to keep your candle so it's a great value. Loved it! Highly recommend!

    Amazing experience!!! My first time making candles and this was a great time. This is amazing as a date activity or just hanging out with friends. The teacher will go through step by step on how to make the candle after you select 1-2 scents on the wall. You could also decorate it using gems, stones, flowers etc along the way. Overall loved it and so excited to use the candle!

    Unique and fun experience in Wicker park! The experience lasts about an hour and you get to build your own candle. Sunshine was very friendly! Highly recommend with a group of friends or a significant other.

    Aura Candle Bar was such a fun experience that I would 100% do again!…read more Alex was our guide. Not only was she knowledgeable, but she was also very sweet and kind. Gave very clear instructions and was just super interactive which I appreciated. They have so many scents to choose from that you definitely won't be able to smell them all, but I think you can get through a good amount of them to know that you're picking the best scents that stand out to you. I think this experience is definitely worth the money! They hold the candles for you for two weeks, but you can go in the same day to pick it up too just a few hours later. I can't wait to go back!

Your experience begins by choosing 5-12 of your favorite scents from a huge wall of over 100 scents, and writing that on a sheet of paper. You also choose which vessel you want your candle to go in. After that, your scent consultant helps you pick out the three that work the best based on your preferences, and you get to try different concoctions until it smells exactly how you want it! Finally, you get to mix your essential oils and scents into the vessel with wax, and tada!! You're all set!! Honestly, for $50 a person it's not too bad, as some higher quality candles out there cost just as much.

    Athenian Candle Company has been my go to for various needs for at least 10 years if not longer…read more They are a local business in Greektown with lots of knowledge and the most sincere customer service team. Sometimes I go there with a purpose, like, I need a St Francis and a St Anthony candle, or maybe I need some Morocco oil. Other times I am a complete disaster and I go in and they ask If I need any help, to which I say yes, and tell them my issue. The staff always knows exactly what I need and is more than willing to help. Oftentimes they will offer you a blessing at checkout - Say yes and accept with gratitude. The blessing will bring you goodness and peace and probably whatever else you need. At the beginning of the Athenian Candles gives out catalogues and Christian calendars with purchase. Both are wonderful gifts. The catalogue has a lot of information about products you may not have been aware of. Parking right in front can be tough; it is Greektown. if you go a block or two away you will find likely a free spot.

    This was a neat little place that we stumbled into by mistake…read more They have a candle for EVERYTHING. Every saint, every holiday. If you need good luck, purity, to be rid of bad things, to make money. You name it, they have a candle for it. There are aisles of candles of all different colors and sizes, as well as candle accessories like snuffers and matches and the like. There's also a section of cleaning products to cleanse the home, and a little section of books. I was pleasantly surprised that I own a few. It caters to a predominantly Christian clientele, as made evident by all the saints. That said, there are a few questionably pagan/hoodoo items that I was surprised to find there. To each their own. What I didn't like was the staff. They were really kind of snotty and rude, like if they didn't already know you they couldn't be bothered. It felt uncomforable being glared at like that, so we didn't make a purchase and we left rather quickly. Still, if you're in Greektown it's worth poking around.

Parking was pretty easy considering it's the holiday season. We had reservations and as we walked in, we were greeted immediately and checked it. They showed us to our workstation and settled in. The store is brightly lit and smaller if different fragrances. It was not over bearing and smelled nice. Our candle expert introduced herself to us and let us know the process. She was very nice and explained everything clearly. Through the process she was helpful with answering our questions or checked in on us. After mixing our scents into the melted wax, we selected our decorations. We left and were asked to return in 1 hour so the candles can harden. When we returned we decorated the candles. Overall, what a great experience. Candles ranged from $55 to $40 dollars to start and can go higher depending on options. You can also BYOB and or Food if you wanted to have a party!

Even though we had a good time, still upset at the deceit. EVERY SINGLE PERSON WAS CHARGED BYOB! They did not uncork the wine and did not ask us for our IDs until the end. DO NOT GO! OMG!
