Frequently Asked Questions for Craft Custom Candles at Sable Candle Co.

Question 1

How long is the candle-pouring experience?

Accepted Answer

If you book a regular workshop experience, that typically lasts about 45 minutes from start to finish for groups up to 7 people, giving you plenty of time to pick your scent, pour your candle, and enjoy the vibe with your crew in our studio space.

If you book a group rental for larger parties, or if you need space for food or drink, the party can last up to 3 hours!

Question 2

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Our vessel shelf offers candle containers ranging from $30-$60 each. This cost includes the whole candlemaking experience (all materials and instruction).

If you bring in your own container, pricing starts at $30 each (for 5-10oz containers) and increases based on the size of the container. This usually makes average sized containers around $30-$60 each.

For larger group rentals who have refreshments, decorations, or gifts, we have additional hourly rates for the entire studio to ensure your group has the right amount of time and space for your festivities.

Question 3

Can we bring drinks and snacks?

Accepted Answer

Sable Candle Co. is BYOB-friendly for group rentals, but not during our regular workshop experience.

If you plan to bring refreshments for your group to enjoy, make sure to book a group rental at: sablecandleco.com/group-rentals, or email us at sablecandleco@gmail.com

Question 4

Do we get to take our candles home the same day?

Accepted Answer

Candles take a few hours to cure, so same-day pickup may not be possible depending on your workshop time. You can come back to pick them up later or have them shipped directly to you.

If you would like to take them home same day, we advise choosing an earlier time slot to start.

Question 5

Is there a minimum or maximum group size?

Accepted Answer

Groups of 2-7 are great for our regular workshop experience that lasts 45 minutes. If you have a group of 8-20, we book your group rental according to your party needs for time and space.

Question 6

Can we customize the candles for the occasion?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can bring in your own custom containers to make your candles in, and we have label selections perfect for bachelorette parties, birthdays, or group gifts.

Question 7

Do I need to book in advance?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Group reservations are needed to ensure your group gets the right space needed for your specific party needs, especially on weekend dates.

Question 8

What if we’ve never made a candle before?

Accepted Answer

No experience necessary! Our candlemakers will guide you through the entire process. It’s beginner-friendly and fun for everyone.

Question 9

Where is Sable Candle Co. located?

Accepted Answer

We’re located in the heart of Grand Rapids, MI in the Uptown neighborhood. You'll receive the exact address and details after booking.
