    One of the final candles we made!
    Bradley J.

    Penn and Beech Candle Co. was such a fun experience. It was my girlfriend's birthday and our first time there, and even though we were a bit short on time, the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. We started by smelling our way through the huge wall of scents, which was honestly a blast! We ended up making a sparkling ginger ale scent and a coffee and bread bakery scent, both of which were exactly what we were hoping for. The staff helped keep us on track so we could finish on time, from picking out a glass container to mixing the scent ratios and pouring the candles. We left right on schedule for dinner and came back later, once cured, to pick them up before closing. I really appreciated how helpful and thoughtful everyone was. Overall, such a great experience and we will 100% be back!

    I had a great time! This was such a fun activity. Made two amazing smelling candle! Would come again to try new combos!

    Went on a date here and it was such a fun and unique experience! Made a reservation and they were ready for us when we arrived and we were able to stay the process right away. You get to smell all of the scents they have available and then the staff helps you blend the perfect scent you are looking for to create and pour your candle. They also have a menu of drinks you can order during the experience as well. Highly recommend this experience!

    We always have a great time! The guidance is very valuable and helpful. They help guide you to a cohesive candle scent but still let you experiment with some interesting and unique combos. Very knowledgeable staff and a great activity. Even my husband, who is notoriously against structured crafting (lol), had a good time.

    My family had such a fun time making candles together! It is overwhelming what to pick scent wise. But the girl helping us out helped us create 3 amazing smelling candles. We were shocked we could be accommodated as we just walked in. I can't wait for the next trip down to Indy! I am excited to make another candle!

    This is such a fun date night or outing with friends. It's a great way to switch it up and have something to take home and enjoy! The atmosphere is really cute and the employees make it a fun experience to create a custom candle. There is a small drink menu to add to the fun too. I would warn anyone sensitive to smell, though. It smells amazing at first but I get overwhelmed with all of the scents after a while and feel like I can't smell anything, so it's always a surprise when I pick up my candle the next day and find out how it turned out. We were going to go when I was pregnant but it was too much for me. They also have retail. I love when I see a Penn & Beech candle throughout the city. Several businesses have custom scent blends and they always smell so good!

    I love coming to Penn and Beech! We came for my husband's birthday, and it was his first time. Staff was very knowledgeable and helped him figure out what exactly he wanted his candle to smell like.

    Such a fun activity to do off Mass Ave. I had not heard of this business, but was given a gift card for Christmas, so I scheduled an appointment through Yelp. The nice thing is that everything is included in the price. The only cost of making a candle is the price of the vessel, which varies dependent on size. Anywhere from $20-$50, they have 1, 2 and 3 wick options. The only added costs are tax, tip and optional drinks. The disappointing thing is that they don't offer soda, only water, sparkling water, and alcohol. Once you arrive, they assign you a seat, then you start smelling all of the fragrance options. You write down your top picks, then choose your vessel. A concierge then comes to your table and helps you narrow down your picks to 2-3 options that would smell good together. They then select those fragrance oils for you to smell. You can go back and forth and pick different options. Once you have settled on your fragrances, you mix the oils together and then add them to hot wax and pour into your vessel. It takes 2 hours for candle to set up. You can leave and come back in 2hrs to pick up your candle, or you can return another day. This is a great location to grab something to eat or do some shopping while waiting. There are plenty of businesses around. With Mass Ave and Bottleworks close by. This is a great group activity, girls night out, bachelorette party, etc. They have tables that seat up to 8 people. If you have less people, you will be sat at a table with other people. They also have seating around the counter area. It is cutely decorated, with a couple photo ops. They have restrooms and large sink to wash up. Closest parking in on the street nearby or the Bottleworks garage.

    Vessels for pouring
    Kandice T.

    My husband and I visited this location to celebrate our one-year wedding anniversary. This was our very first time ever pouring candles and I loved that we were allowed to move at our own pace. The process of choosing scents and then pairing them together to make something truly unique was very fun and my husband and I were both really good at it, which made it extremely hard to choose which ones we wanted to make into candles. They were running a special where if you buy 3, you get one free. We left with four candles, each in a different type of vessel. They aren't cheap, but if you enjoy really nice candles, then you know that none of them are. They also offer drinks, so we enjoyed a mimosa and some Moscato during our experience. We look forward to visiting again to make those combinations that were left out during this visit.

    This candle has been burnt once it's pretty wonky

    I would have given 5 stars but candle quality is different from a year ago. Smells don't seem as good, but are still nice just not as strong. The wick seems to be the issue, they are not burning evenly and have giant soot ash falling as they burn. I trim the wick every time and no draft area. I'm very disappointed the quality is not there anymore. Still a fun experience. Would enjoy a few more drink offering. Spindrifts for non alcoholic is fine but not everyone enjoys soda water, we went for my 11 yrs olds birthday, last year they gave us an extra candle this year they just subtracted a discount.. not as cool.the experience was fine but not as personalized as last year. Brittney was so wonderful and so helpful. She was great she deserves 5 stars. thank you Brittney. This experience was nice but not 5 star worthy as last year.

    Five stars for Penn & Beech--and one deeply committed fragrance strategist (me)!! This was my first visit, and I loved every minute. The wall of fragrance is as intense as it has rows upon rows of possibility. The curator was fantastic: knowledgeable, calm, and somehow unfazed by the barrage of questions I brought to the table. There's an eight-second video clip that perfectly captures the moment: my OCD gently running the show, ensuring no scent gets overlooked, no pairing goes rogue. The curator doesn't flinch. She rides the wave like a pro. Pro tip: The space is cozy, which means things can get tight when there are other guests milling about--but the vibe still works. Beverage selection? Thoughtful and fairly priced. In the end, the butterflies weren't in formation, but we made it to the finish line with 4 candles that smells like victory. Highly recommend.

    Penn & Beech Candle Co. Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Penn & Beech Candle Co.

    How much does it cost to make a candle?

    It depends on the size of the vessel you select. I think the lowest price was $22 but can go up to $50 or more. If you're with a group, they do buy 3 get one free.

    Where is the nearest place to park?

    We parked in the Bottleworks Parking Garage. There is some street parking around there as well.

    Do they take back old containers to reuse?

    You can use your container, and pay per ounce of wax, or get a $1 off per container if you turn yours in and get a new container.

    Is the candle pouring kid friendly or is there a minimum age to participate?

    I didn't see an age posting; see note above that they had an 11 yr old. I would just say, a child responsible enough because you are pouring hot wax. :)

    Do these burn clean?

    Yes. All of our candles are clean burning and free of harsh chemicals.

    How much does it cost to make your own candle?

    Starts at $20!

The staff that was there when I visited was pretty young, which could explain the laid back vibe--but they were all very nice, helpful, and super knowledgeable, which was awesome. Starting with the not so great: - A downside to this particular place is that instead of choosing different scents to mix, they already have them pre-mixed. For example, champagne and clean linen scents are already combined, rather than letting you choose and mix them yourself. Since it's structured this way, it does speed up the process, but I will say there are still a few pre-mixed scents you can mix together that would probably turn out smelling great. - When I went to pick up my candle a few days later, I was disappointed to find that it was damaged. Not sure how it happened, but I was shocked when I unwrapped it to discover it was chipped. Even more disappointing was that the staff wrapped a damaged item without mentioning it to me. On the positive side: - It's BYO food and drinks, which we loved. My friends and I brought a bottle of prosecco, charcuterie, and quiche to enjoy. Our server let us eat, drink, and chat before starting the candle pouring, which was perfect for catching up! - Parking is easy - Gorgeous vessels to choose from - Reasonably priced They also have a little gift shop with an assortment of trinkets!
