Whether you’re planning a bachelorette party in Nashville, a girls’ getaway in Savannah, or a birthday bash in Salt Lake City, the Paddywax Candle Bar is one of the best group experiences you can book. Equal parts relaxing and interactive, this hands-on candle-pouring workshop is a perfect blend of DIY creativity, wine-sipping socializing, and Instagrammable ambiance. It’s not just a craft class, it’s an unforgettable memory in the making.
With charming shops in Nashville, Dallas, Houston, Denver, Salt Lake City, Savannah, and Charlotte, it’s no surprise that Paddywax is quickly becoming the go-to activity for travelers who want something a little more special than the usual bar crawl.
1. It’s Designed for Group Fun.
Looking for things to do with friends in Charlotte or planning a group activity in Dallas? Each Paddywax Candle Bar is a cozy, welcoming space where you and your crew can gather around the candle-pouring bar, BYOB your favorite wine or seltzers (yes, there’s a small corkage fee), and follow a step-by-step workshop led by expert chandlers.
2. You Choose Everything.
From sleek ceramic vessels to textured glass jars, Paddywax offers a variety of repurposable candle containers that double as mugs, bowls, planters, or catch-alls once the candle’s burned through. You’ll also get to pick from 25 seasonal fragrance blends, from fresh and floral to spicy and woodsy, all crafted to be strong (but never overwhelming).
3. It’s BYOB and Built for Celebrating.
Whether it’s a lowkey birthday in Denver or a wild bachelorette in Houston, Paddywax lets you customize your vibe. Sip wine, laugh with friends, and create something together, without the pressure of being Pinterest-perfect. It’s just the right mix of fun, fancy, and hands-on.
4. It’s a Built-In Gift Shop.
After you pour your candle, explore the curated retail space. The shop features home goods, stationery, and decor from Paddywax’s own DesignWorks Collective brands, plus stylish finds from small makers.
Workshops last about 45 minutes and follow a guided process:
Reservations are recommended, especially for groups, and pro tip: arrive a little early and browse the shop with a drink in hand.
