Turning 30 does not have to be a horrible experience though. Celebrating this monumentous milestone deserves some attention! As I bid Bon voyage to my 20's, I wanted to ring in my next decade with a party I would never forget... A celebration with experiences that would last a lifetime. As with any other occasion I plan, I took to google scrolling through the search results looking for unique and creative ways to amplify my birthday while keeping it cost effective for my guests lead me to the Cleveland Candle Company. I guess stumbled upon it is a better description though. Cleveland Candle Company offers 1 and 2 hour long private parties. You and your guests can express your creativity through the process of making handmade candles. I gathered 15 of my closest friends to celebrate this special day. The first half hour putting our noses to the test while sniffing our way through to 200+ scents the Cleveland Candle Company has to offer. With a wide verity of scents ranging from fruity and savory foods, plant, spa, floral, seasonal, and specially scents it can be difficult to narrow down your selection to your top 3. If you are experiencing a sensory overload, you can shop their amazing selection of pre-made soy candles, handcrafted bath bombs, oil infused lip balms and vegan soaps. While waiting for our signature candles to dry we were surrounded by the friendly and helpful staff their pleasant and uplifting attitudes added to the enjoyment of waiting for our creations. For the next hour we laughed and mingled while enjoying great food. I found creating your own craft to take home much more memorable than your typical "Dirty Thirty". Next time you throw a bash remember the Cleveland Candle Company is a clever, cost cutting idea for all ages and occasions. Sincerelybs.com

Enjoy the coffee shop, wine shop, grazing boards, flat breads and more in the store front! Check out their craft workshops, events and live music! Love supporting this female owned spot! We sat at a booth and looked over the extensive menu before going up to the counter to order. They luckily weren't very busy so we didn't wait long at all for our food and drinks. Kinda pricy for what you get hence the 4 star review but overall a good experience. Plenty of parking in the lot available.

Update! This place still rocks. Bathroom seems fixed. LOL! Still have lots of choices both wine and…read morecoffee. Staff is still nice. Selection of wines is great! Events are listed on-line. They also have a lot of little accessories which are cute. I'd say the only issue is that price tags are not on everything. So I had to keep asking how much a bottle of wine was. So if they can add price stickers and shelf labels that be solved. Not everything is marked. On Sundays there is no wine drinking and no wine selling so you have to do that the rest of the week. Check this place out!

This time around it was $20 to paint a winter scene at Brick and Barrel and the price included two beers! Super great price! Perfect for a date night or girls night without busting the bank. My friend and I had a really fun time painting, drinking, and sharing some laughs with all of the other guests. Stephie, our instructor, was awesome! I would definitely take one of her classes again. The mood was very chill, there was no rushing through the steps, and help was always right there if we needed it. The Bianca Blonde beer from Brick and Barrel was pretty tasty too!
