On 12/2/2025 Ann OKlock had this to say:
Went with my granddaughter to make candles. What a fun experience. The staff was friendly, helpful and had lots of knowledge and recommendations on different scents to use. The candles turned out amazing. We will definitely be back for a fun experience.

A great experience! My younger teenage sister was coming to visit and I had heard about this place from a friend. We went together with one other friend and it was so much fun! We really enjoyed the process of making a candle and getting to choose the smells.

My wife and I had a great time! They have quite a bit of scents available and were very accommodating at helping us walk through the process and get our unity candle made. Will definitely be back

Stopped in without an appt. on a whim this weekend. First of all, the staff: they were so friendly, knowledgeable and displayed a genuine interest in the scent profile that I was creating. The process was easy, fun and MY CANDLE……IT IS AMAZING! Once you burn your candle all the way down, you can bring your vessel back and do it all over again….at a great discount. We live in Fort Wayne, so you can bet I will be back there again next Btown visit! Oh,, and it doesn’t take that long. I was finished in probably 40 minutes or so. If I was there with a group, I would expect an hour or so.unless you have frequented the establishments on Kirkwood prior….then maybe a little longer😉

On 9/8/2025 Kaleena Alvarado had this to say:
I took my senior Mom in for a candle making session..not too long to make.the Wicked candy corn mix was awsome from there, my mom made me go back and get more..and staff said that when ur candles burn down u can bring bak the jar for a discount on further candle making.
