Reviews for Custom Candle Pouring Class in Old Town Scottsdale

Such a fun experience and the ladies working were so nice and helpful. Definitely recommend!

What a fun experience! Create a candle and make some memories. A portion of the proceeds go to rescue pups. 🐶. What’s better than that? …

Jenny was great to work with, process was simple and painless!

What a fun place! We loved smelling all the different candle oils and making our own candles. So fun, and the staff was helpful and amazing!

What a fun place to enjoy the day and celebrating birthdays. The staff were so friendly the assistant who helped us step-by-step on how to make our candle. We got to choose the scent we wanted and The wax is soy based so it’s pet friendly. It’s an hour long class and we literally took our time and enjoyed every minute of making a candle. A beautiful memory for our friends celebration.

This was such a fun activity! The shop is so cute and the employees were very friendly- I took my friend for her birthday and they even had a sign to welcome and greet us! I loved putting the scents together and can't wait to burn my candle. Thanks so much!

Came to Light and Bark for our Christmas party and had the absolute best time! Jenni and Alice were such amazing hosts; attentive, friendly and super knowledgeable. There is such a great variety of scents that everyone left happy with what they created. If you are in AZ (local or visiting) its a definite "must do"!

Cute little store, and wonderful customer service by Katie! We booked our time for my DIL's bday, they had a little sign set up that said Happy Birthday in our table, it was a sweet touch especially since we were only a parry of 3. The customization of the candle scent was super fun and they had every detailed scent you could imagine, and we all 3 left with a unique scent...only down side is waiting the 7 days that they recommend waiting to burn it!

Light + Bark is AMAZING! A group of us stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and were greeted by Jenni, the owner, who walked us through the candle making process in precise and clear detail. They have a great selection of scents to choose from and the cutest containers too! My boyfriend even made a candle once he saw the "Phoenix Open" scent. We love lighting our candles and telling our friends that WE made them, how fun! It's an added bonus that a portion of their proceeds are donated to the Maricopa County Animal Care & Control. We will definitely be back to make more candles with Jenni and her team. :)

Cute, clean shop with great merch! We did a candle making class and it was very well organized and fun! They had all the scents, too. Highly recommend!

Space is so beautiful, staff is friendly, and it is so much fun to build your own candle.

We visited from Indiana and had an GREAT time. The staff was so friendly and patient with all our questions. They truly make sure that we had an awesome time. They even shipped to us and they arrived in a week. The options were endless and how we can do this again in the future. If you have ever wanted to do this- then run Don't walk.

I took my mom here for her birthday and we had an amazing time! My mom makes candles at home in her free time, so she was able to ask our candle expert all the tips and tricks! There were tons of scent options, including Christmas smells with the holidays approaching! The whole experience took around an hour.

Thanks to the Light + Bark team for such a lovely afternoon with family at the candle bar. A beautiful, comfortable location, incredibly friendly and helpful staff, and high quality product - for a good cause to boot! A very special way to enjoy an afternoon with friends/family - we'll be back!

Had a date with my partner and we had an excellent time making candles together!

10/10 the staff was super friendly and nice guiding us on our first time there. Candle smells were top notch. Will return once my first candle runs out.

A super fun experience! The owners are so nice and super helpful. I love that we could pick out our own scents, and as many as we wanted to create our candle! And my candle smells amazing 😍 …

Absolutely adorable place for the girls event! They have a private space if you want to use it too. So many fragrances for your future candle and instructors are absolutely amazing!

We found out about Light & Bark when they hosted an event for one of the Animal Rescues we volunteer at. We have now gone to their store to make candles twice and love it. The staff is super kind and helpful, the gifts they have are unique and the candles you make there are great! With the mission they have to serve animals it’s a must to grab some friends and family and go make some candles!

Booked a candle pour for myself and two teens. My teens had a blast- hard to find things they both want to do. Definitely recommend for a fun and different experience!

This place was amazing. We went there for a Team Building/Christmas present event after hours, and it was amazing. The staff was extremely accommodating and wonderful. Thanks for an amazing time.

Cute stuff, helps doggies.

A few friends and I went to try our hand at candle making. So many choices and it is so easy. My friends both made two candles and I made one. I strongly suggest you go try this. Much fun had by all and the ladies ladies helping are very good. Be warned you cannot light your candle for 1 week. Go Try This NOW!!

Marlissa is the best! Highly recommend stopping by here for gifts!

We has such a good time we ended up doing 2 candles! Staff is awesome and it is a fun experience.

As a small business owner myself, I know how important public reviews can be, so that's why I wanted to take a moment to give a big shout-out to Light and Bark Candle Co. I decided to host our team's Christmas party here this year, and it couldn't have been more enjoyable. The activity itself was relaxing and fun, but the kind Light and Bark team members really were the cherry on top. Thank you Light and Bark for a memorable get-together.

This place is amazing! They are so friendly, kind, and make it fun!! Plus they are all about dogs, which is great! Pop in for a candle or to make your own - you won’t be disappointed!

This shop has the cutest dog-themed gifts!! I ordered the dog can glassware set of 2 for my good friend as a Christmas gift. They upgraded my order to priority shipping for free in order to make sure it got here by Christmas. Definitely recommend supporting this small business!

We had such a great time today making candles! There were so many fragrances to choose from, which made it really fun to create our own custom scent. Lily was incredibly kind, attentive, and so helpful throughout the whole process. She made the experience easy, enjoyable, and relaxing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and creative activity!

I first came to learn of Light + Bark at an employee appreciation event through work. I really loved the candle I made and was curious about making another. My boyfriend and I came to their store in Old Town Scottsdale to make candles to celebrate our anniversary and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Vicki attended us, and was incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful in helping create our respective scents. It was such a lovely time and I look forward to bringing my family as well. I also love that they donate to dog shelters. Highly recommend!

Such a cute shop and for an amazing cause. Bought some yummy smelling candles and other items - didn’t have time to do the personalized candle making but will definitely return to do that in the future!

This experience was so much fun. My husband and I enjoyed it. We never got her name but the woman who was working today was cool and personable. We definitely are coming back to make more candles. Please make sure she sticks around. We loved her vibe.

We recently came to Light + Bark as part of a bachelorette weekend, and it was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, the team made the process so enjoyable and accessible (even for beginners like us.) The studio itself is beautifully designed—bright, cozy, and inviting—setting the perfect mood for a creative and fun celebration. Light + Bark also donates a portion of their proceeds to help shelter dogs. (Which is originally what sold me on booking this experience.) What really stood out was the attention to detail. The staff went above and beyond to make it special for our group, from explaining how to select the perfect fragrance to customizing our candles with unique designs. The variety of scents was amazing, and we loved being able to mix and match to create something truly personal. By the end, we all walked away with gorgeous, one-of-a-kind candles and unforgettable memories of such a fun and unique bachelorette activity. I can’t recommend Light + Bark enough—thank you for making this such a highlight of our weekend! If you’re considering trying this, don’t hesitate—you’ll love it!

Such an incredible experience and honestly not what I was expecting. The process involved selecting different scents and curating blends. The overall selection was from a wide variety ranging from earthy to fruity. I settled on Arizona Campfires 🔥 (what I was calling it) which was a blend of marshmallow, redwood, smoke and prickly pear. So cool.. Their mission is to help support shelter dogs 🐶 so sweet 🥹 ❤️

I am OBSESSED with my candle. It is literally my new favorite scent of all time. I absolutely love that they support local dog rescues and the owners are THE SWEETEST. 10/10 recommend and will be sprinting back for another candle ASAP!

Brought my team for some holiday time together and made candles together - Jenni and her team were so delightful and made such a terrific experience for us all…thank you Light & Bark…we will be back!❤️

What a fun place. Especially for group events. We all got to make our own oil for a soy candle and picked the jar and lid. It was a very meowgical day with my team and the ladies here are full of information.

We stumbled upon Light + Bark walking in Old Scottsdale and we are so glad we did. As soon as we walked in Kathy was so welcoming and throughout the whole process of the candle making she was patient and was amazing walking us through the whole process. We had such an amazing time and know if we were local we would come back for sure.

Such an amazing idea and place, essential oils are natural and such a fun and beautiful little place. They give part money to dogs rescue places. Will go back again

My daughter and I had a great time candle pouring. Tons of scents to choose from and such good customer service

My wife and I made a candle here for date night. It was a fantastic experience! There were plenty of scents to customize and the atmosphere was cozy with such kind workers. Would do it again!

10/10 Recommend Light + Bark Candle Co. for any fun bachelorette/baby shower/birthday party activity. We went this past weekend for my "Final Fiesta" and it exceeded my expectations. My nieces (5 & 10) were able to join in the fun too. Adults and kids alike had so much fun smelling the scents to mix your own unique candle. The lady helping us was attentive but not intrusive. My best friend rented the private room and there were 14 or 15 of us and we all fit easily. L + B allowed my friend to bring in mimosas and breakfast treats as well. Afterwards we walked a short ways for brunch. By the time that was over the candles were ready to be picked up! (Need 2 hours to set). I was already extremely impressed with the day - but when I went to pick up the candles, they had packaged them all individually in the cutest little gift bags. I CANNOT recommend this enough. Absolutely MUST DO!!!

Great place love my candle and the experience 💕 …

The candles smell great and are clean ingredients. My team and I had a little binding time here and everyone loved choosing their jars and scents! Plus the employees are very friendly and helpful. Plus. Even if it sucked, they donate to shelter dogs so you're a monster for not going. Jk. It's a phenomenal gift idea and experience.

Pure awesomeness!! Great candles! Had a lot of fun making candles, great customer service

I LOVE light and bark! the staff is so friendly and helpful! I bring my aunt and my mom every time they come to visit me!

We made a custom candle on our trip. What a fun thing to do with a loved one.

Light+Bark is such a fun shop and experience! I own a local pet sitting business and bought candles for employees, clients, and myself a few times before I brought my team in for some bonding over personalized candle-making. We had te best time! It’s perfect for friends, families, couples, and then of course for teams. You get to smell each other’s chosen scents and pour your own wax while talking with each other and Jenni and her dog-loving team! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and I think it will be a recurring activity for everyone!

Adorable little shop with amazing scents and it's for a good cause. Wish we'd had time to make our own candles, but the ones we bought were great! Staff was super friendly and helpful. Store was clean and welcoming.

We visited light + bark for my bachelorette and had such a wonderful time! The staff was super friendly and we each got to make a beautiful custom candle. The shop is also very clean, beautiful and welcoming. It was such a fun experience and to know they donate a portion of their profits to animal shelters is so amazing and such a great cause. I just ordered more candles from them because their scents are so lovely! Definitely recommend them to anyone who is a candle and animal lover 🤍

The most fun I’ve had in a very long time! Highly recommend for your next gathering!! So. Much. Fun! And a portion of the proceeds go to a great cause. Thanks for a fun afternoon!

I was at an event for Almost There Rescue and I saw their booth set up in the lobby. First, the person at the booth was so sweet. I bought 2 candles and 2 wine glasses. The candles smell SOOOO good. I got the coffee and bourbon for me and the simmer pot for my MIL. Welllll I'm going to have to get her something else because I need both candles for my own home lol. I burned one for about 2 hours while working from home, and my office still smells good. I even get little wafts from the hallway when I walk by. Part of my purchase went to fund the rescue efforts, which is always a plus for me. They have a lot of other really cute things for animal lovers too! Definitely looking into their available team building events for the company I work for.

We went to Light + Bark for my bachelorette and had so much fun! Katie was so nice and helpful! Definitely a must do in old town.

What an absolute delight! Was visiting the area and did a candle making class. Vicky was fantastic and exceeded our expectations, extremely knowledgeable and so sweet! My friends and I made our own perfect candle and will cherish this memory. Such a fun day with fabulous customer service!

Exceptional products, service, and entire ambience. We use these candles in all of our Airbnbs and our guests absolutely love them. Loved creating my own candle scent blends. They also host fun events!

I haven’t been to the location yet but I spoke with the owner at two events, such great energy. The first time was before her store opened and the second was at a pet adoption event today. My first candle lasted forever and was a really fantastic smell. I’m so excited for my new candles! & looking forward to experiencing her classes with some girl friends.

We visited from Memphis for a bachelorette trip and had an amazing time. The staff was so friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. They genuinely care about your experience and I can tell candles and wonderful customer service are near and dear to their hearts. They have so many cute jars to choose to put your candle in and the scent options/possibilities are endless, they have something for literally everyone. It was a 10/10 experience and probably our favorite Bach trip excursion. If you’ve been thinking about visiting let this be your sign!

Favorite fall scents!

This place is amazing

This was such a great experience. The shop is clean and bright. So many scents and styles for your candles. The instructor was pleasant and extremely kind. Everything went absolutely great with our candle making experience.

I had the pleasure of meeting the owners of the shop a couple weeks ago. I had reached out because I wanted a signature candle for my business. The owners were incredible. They were professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly they were fun. They understood what I was looking for an executed the samples perfectly. I could not be happier with the end result and looking forward to placing my bulk orders soon. They have the perfect product for client gifts, so if your a small business owner and want something local and meaningful, give them a call. You won't regret it.

I was so excited to get home and post this review. This was one of the COOLEST experiences ever! I took my mom for Mother’s Day and it just could not have been better. The owner is incredible, kind hearted, and really is passionate about her business. All of her employees love what they do and were so kind dealing with the mass of mothers and daughters and children! They have made the experience so easy, fun and simple. We had so much fun getting to pick our own scents and blends and create a candle! They really pulled out all of the stops for their customers and it was obvious they love what they’re doing. Also!! They donate a portion of their proceeds to a Maricopa County Shelter! Had absolutely zero problem spending my money here and will absolutely be back. Thank you for making my Moms Mother’s Day one to remember!

I cannot say enough good things about Light + Bark! My girlfriends and I visited here to celebrate my birthday, and we had the BEST time! Jenni (the owner) and her team were SO incredibly sweet, helpful, and so accommodating! We had a group of 9 gals and they opened up early just to provide us with a private experience. They had tons of amazing scents to work with, and they made the experience so fun. If you’re looking for a fun activity, please don’t hesitate. Jenni also donates to dog shelters! We most definitely will be back!

AMAZING PLACE!! Such a fun activity to do! The scents are incredible and the candles burn so clean. Highly recommend!!

This truly is a little hidden gem in Scottsdale! I took my fiancé here for a belated birthday date to make candles and it was one of the most fun dates we’ve had together! We absolutely love how involved the owner Jenni and her staff are with rescue dogs- as proceeds from her shop go to a variety of local dog rescues in AZ. It’s a very cute place to just kick back and have some creative fun! Plus you know you’re contributing to a great cause at the end of the day- and who doesn’t love helping dogs?! And again, thank you to all of the staff for being so genuine and helpful as we made our candles. Their patience and kindness went a long way in making this a fun date (and letting us sniff 50+ amazing oils for our candles lol.) Our candles make the whole house smell amazing- and we will definitely be back with friends, family, and each other to make more candles!

Loved our candle making experience! Highly recommend.

Great for both individuals and groups. Everyone enjoys creating their own signature candle with the high-quality oils. Definitely a lot of laughter and surprises. I’ve taken two groups and each time it’s been a huge success.

Awesome experience for my wife's birthday and they were super friendly with our dog giving her toys, water, and pets

Loved the experience, quality candles and welcoming and kind staff!! We will be back!!

Came here for my mom’s birthday for something different to do. What a nice experience!! The staff is so welcoming & friendly. The scent selection is excellent. We loved our finish products and can’t wait to come back some time!

This place was amazing! The girls were super helpful and we had a blast celebrating a birthday. Such a cool place to have a party or just get creative with a friend. Can’t wait to go back!

My first time making candles and what a fun experience. Vickie was so helpful and my candle turned out amazing! Will definitely be back!

I visited Light + Bark a couple of years ago during a company team-building event. We had so much fun making different candles and comparing scents. The Light + Bark team did such a great job of leading us through the process and making it engaging. Here's the part that REALLY made me appreciate this company: To be honest - the candle I created was an odd combination of scents. I put things together that reminded me of my grandparents farm - vanilla for my grandmother's baking, peace pipe for my grandfather's tobacco pipe, fresh garden dirt because they were farmers and always had a big garden in the summer. Then I balanced it out with a floral scent - fig leaves. It actually turned out so beautiful and smells so fresh and wonderful with hints of my childhood! I took it home and over the last few years I have sparingly burnt my candle every now and then. It is almost gone - but luckily I recently had another trip to Scottsdale for work and decided to stop in and see if there was any hope at all of recreating what has now become a sentimental scent to me! Not only were the staff SO helpful in finding my scents again (They still had them all!) but they were actually able to find my record in their system and had saved my recipe and the quantities of each scent I had used on file! I was able to pick out a new candle jar and pay in advance - and the team sent me a recreation of my original candle. IT SMELLS EXACTLY THE SAME. I love it so much. The staff also informed me that I could call them to re-order at any time. Even better: It was mixed, poured, and shipped to me so fast that I was confused as to what package I had received until I looked at where it came from! I had not been expecting it that soon. Overall: Excellent business. Excellent staff. Excellent candles. I also love their passion for animal welfare as a proud pet parent of 2 adopted pups, myself. If I could give this small business 10 stars, I would. Thank you Light + Bark! I'm sure I'll be ordering more from you in the future.

Randomly walked by this store while on a bachelorette trip and so glad we decided to go in! Jenni, the store owner, is so sweet and intentional with all of her work. She and her two helpers, Bri and Vicki did a great job taking us through the candle making process. Also, her heart for supporting rescue dogs and shelters is inspiring! 10/10 would come here again for a candle class! Love to support small business with a good cause!!

Wonderful experience all around! After meeting the owner, Jenni, at a dog rescue function, I visited on two separate occasions with family members to pour my own candle with my selected oil blend into my selected jar. There were lots of scents to pick from, including many seasonal holiday scents. It took me forever to decide! I made reservations in advance, so our table and materials were ready to go when we arrived. But they accept walk-ins as well. When we arrived, one of the staff provided an overview of the process, then guided us along the way. After you're finished pouring, you leave your candle creation at the shop for 2 hours, until it sets enough for travel. There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, so lots to keep you busy that long. But plan accordingly. It was so easy! So fun! The staff were fantastic. You may even have the opportunity to meet one of the staff's furbabies 🥰 Great experience for couples, friends, families, professional team building, etc. Will definitely do it again!

This was our first time here and we loved it! I really like that they use nontoxic oils and 100% soy wax. There are so many different scents to choose from and you also get to customize your candle jar/lid. If you’re looking for something fun and different to do I would recommend checking it out. I also like that they donate some of the proceeds to help shelters and rescue dogs

The staff was wonderful, guiding us through the process and making it so much fun. Highly recommend for a creative and memorable experience

Beautiful idea to make candles and the different variation of the esencial oils are incredible. The service and ambience of the place is so peaceful and cute, they give part of the money to rescue dog place.

Had a great experience making our own candles for a friend’s birthday. Light and Bark made it special by making a birthday sign and making us feel so welcome! Loved the huge variety of scents to choose from and different vessels. We will be back for more. ❤️

wow! came in for a bachelorette - such a fun time! vicky is an amazing guide and has a great vibe. we all made awesome candles for a super reasonable price! cute jars and lotssss of scent options!

This was a wonderful way to spend time with friends. The staff is friendly and professional and making the candle was really fun. I can't wait to light mine.

This place is amazing! We had 10 ladies in our group and the employees were so helpful and so kind. We each made our own signature scented candles and it was so fun. I’ll definitely come back to make another one. Thank you Light + Bark!! Oh yea, they also make donations to worthy animal shelters with a portion of the candle cost. Such an awesome idea!! That’s the “Bark” in their name!!

Such a fun experience! Can’t wait to smell my candle❤️ the staff was so helpful & fun!

We had a great time at Light + Bark! Jasmine was an amazing guide through this fun journey. She was able to give recommendations on how to get the scents exactly how we wanted. Fun experience!

We stopped in when my daughter's came in from out of town. Vicki was absolutely wonderful and guided us all through the candle making process. We had a great time and some good laughs. We definitely recommend visiting and creating candles . They all turned out amazing and will be back to do it again. Thanks Vicki and everyine!

What a fantastic candle experience! I made two custom candles from an array of scents. The managers were extremely helpful and I can’t wait to come back for more candles!

If you have any to do something different by creating the candles you want to smell throughout the house! The gals are amazing who run and assist you in creating that special scent for you!

Great location near other shopping and dining options. Resident pup made the enviroment all the more inviting. Table was set up for your party and the staff was very polite and informative of the steps to take for making out candles. Very straight foward and easy sysyem. Great conversation and chill enviroment. Would go again. If you bring your previous jar for a refill you get a little discount. They have premade candles as well and some other items like stickers, dish towels, dog toys, etc.

It was fun, relaxing and good for the creative soul. The hostesses were great. A wonderful girls outing. The candles are beautiful and the best scents ever!

We had so much fun making candles for my girlfriends birthday! Such a fun and unique process and how awesome that it benefits animals in need.

Had the most unique and wonderful experience here! Jenni and her entire team were so helpful and kind as they walked us through the incredibly fun candle bar experience, and even went so far as to help us create beautiful custom labels to honor our family pup who had just passed away. Not only did we create the most beautifully smelling candles to take home, but the shop donates proceeds to doggos in need - what's not to love?! I cannot say enough great things about this sweet, local shop! ✨

What an incredible place and a must stop shop when in old town. I bought so many candles from this woman- owned oasis, and quickly learned they have classes too. 10/10 recommend.

Great great fun time! Took my wife for Valentine's and it was a hit! All the ladies are awesome n sweet!

The candle making was so fun. It’s BYOB and they had everything you’d need to make a special candle. The staff was very friendly and willing to help you curate your scent. I also love their mission for dogs and makes this a place I want to keep coming back.
