Testimonials
“Fabulous Enviroment & flawless service”
Great place! Beautiful decor, frinedly staff and beautiful candle options. Went here for a mother/daughter weekend activity and had a blast making matching candles and mixing scents.
Marin K.
I’ve always wanted to do a wax and wine because of my love for candles and of course wine. I would most definitely recommend Mia as an instructor, but I’m sure everyone is great. It was my first time and I feel like I learned a ton about candles and how they’re made. There were walls full of candles with different aromas, ex: a fruit smelling wall, flower, sweet, spring collection, etc. The music playlist was great and the experience was amazing. I loved the scenery of the place and how patient Mia was with my group. I’ll definitely be returning to make more candles in the near future! This is a great date night idea or a fun place to go with even your friends or family.
Big Time Reviewer
My friends and I had an amazing time here on Thursday night! The ambiance was so cozy and classic. The instructions were very clear and it was overall a good time. Most of all, our server Nick was beyond AMAZING! He was kind, thorough, patient and very friendly. He truly enhanced our experience. S/o to him for being a phenomenal human being.

Perfect date night idea. It’s harder than I would have imagined mixing 2 different scents but you can just make the candle with a single oil, which was helpful for my suboptimal olfactory skills. My wife loved the place, atmosphere and activity. Definitely worth doing at least once. And don’t forget to bring your wine bottle! Although if you forget they got your back a decent selection of wines.
Rod Bern
Rosie was amazing, really professional and knowledgeable, but laid back and welcoming, energetic and friendly and made our night! Amazing employee and face of the service you provide, deserves rewarded for her outstanding efforts and making other guests as well as us feel welcome and running 3 parties all by herself on top of that! Will be back again in future.
Thank you again Rosie you’re a diamond! You made our engagement really special 💜

They were short staffed when we went on 2/18, but Jordan and our guide did their best to accommodate us and help the best they could!
We did have some pretty long wait times, but overall this was a lovely experience. I’d recommend bringing your own drinks as there wasn’t much help at the bar.
The scents were delicious and instructions clear.
A little overpriced but fun if you want someone to do with visitors or a group of girls coming to philly

Cool experience and fun night out. Wine and cocktails are available for purchase, or BYOB. The charcuterie was delish. Great scent options and amazing customer service.
