a night to remember

A friend's birthday, a bachelorette toast, a team you actually want to spend time with — we set the table, you make the night.

How it works

Ninety minutes from "we're here" to "we made these." Two candles per person, no experience required.

  1. 01

    Arrive + uncork

    Roll in with your bottle. We pour and your instructor walks you through the night ahead.

  2. 02

    Smell + select

    Wander the Scent Cellar. Sniff 60+ fragrances and blend up to two per candle.

  3. 03

    Mix + pour

    Hand-pour two custom 8oz candles per person — guided start to finish.

  4. 04

    Take home + enjoy

    Your candles leave with you, packaged and ready. A small wait, then light them up.
