We had a great time celebrating Mother's Day here at The Candle Bar! This was our first time making…read moreour own candles and we couldn't have asked for a batter instructor. We came in late (due to the limited parking) so I missed the name of our instructor but she was friendly and knowledgeable. I believe it's about $55-60 per person and each person gets to make two 7oz candles. Personalized touches Include: scent choice and naming the candle. The scents here are great! It was fun exploring all the different notes and profiles. The class is about an hour and everything is provided. As a "student" you get to melt down your wax, smell/ pick your scents, mix scents, pour wax, mix the candle, add your wick, and label your candle. The process is really fast. The longest part is waiting for your candle to cool down/ dry. We were given an estimate between 3.5-4 hours. So plan your day around the area or come in the following day for pick up. Overall, we had a great time and I would recommend this to anyone who is interested. Perfect for solo date, girls night, date night, etc.

I have never been to a candle making place and wasn't…read moresure what to expect but everything was thoughtfully planned out and broken down to make it as easy and fun as possible! You're allowed to BYOB and bring snacks for your event The simplified explanation is you pick the vessel you want, which range in prices, then you pick your scents (there's a ton to choose from and you can smell them to get a feel for which you prefer), then you have a seat and the chandler pours hot wax for you, you add your scents and then you can add some final accoutrements like gems, glitter or dried flowers, and voilà! The whole process lasts 60-90 minutes. The candles take a day to set so you leave your custom creation there and pick it up the next day or thereafter! It was an absolute blast and I can't wait to come back again with my girl friends sometime! The value is well worth it for an evening of fun and craftiness and a custom item you get to enjoy! Highly recommend!!
