What you'll do:

Pick from over 100 fragrances at Penn & Beech's custom candle-making class in Columbus and walk away with a candle that actually smells like you.

• Smell through 100+ fragrances - Work your way through a curated scent bar ranging from light florals to bold woods, finding the ones that feel right for you.

• Choose your vessel - Pick from a variety of sizes and styles at different price points, so your candle fits your taste and your budget.

• Blend your custom scent - A Penn & Beech scent expert helps you narrow down your favorites and combine them into a fragrance that's yours alone.

• Pour your candle - Mix your scent into hot wax and pour it yourself, guided step by step by the team.

• Sip while you pour - Order from a beverage menu featuring wine, local beer, bubbly, and more while you work.

Every person in your group creates something completely their own. Two hours after you pour, your candle is ready to pick up, which means you can grab it the same day and still make your next stop.

Why we love it for your party:

• No deposit required - Easy to book online for groups of 8 or fewer, with no upfront payment to lock in your reservation.

• Custom scent for every guest - Each person picks their own fragrance blend, so no two candles come out the same.

• Drinks on the menu - Wine, bubbly, and local beer are available while you pour, which makes the whole thing feel more like a night out than a craft class.

• Same-day pickup - Candles are ready in two hours, so your group can grab them before the night is over.

• Two Columbus locations - Both Grandview and Short North locations are available, so you can pick whichever fits your group's plans.
