About this Experience

What you'll do:

1. Setup I will arrive 1.5 hours prior to your event to handle all setup. This ensures everything is beautifully arranged and ready to go when your guests arrive.

2. The Class (Approx. 1 Hour) At the agreed-upon start time, we’ll begin a guided, hands-on candle-making experience lasting about one hour.

Guests will:

  • Learn the basics of candle making

  • Choose their scents

  • Pour and personalize their own candles

  • Enjoy a relaxed, engaging atmosphere

No prior experience is needed—just come ready to have fun!

3. Cooling & Social Time (Approx. 2 Hours) After pouring, candles need time to cool and set. Guests should expect to remain at the venue for approximately two hours after the class while their candles finish curing.

During this time, guests can:

  • Mingle and relax

  • Enjoy food and drinks

  • Take photos

  • Fully enjoy your event space

I will carefully prepare and bag each candle so they’re ready to take home at the end of the evening.

Why we love it for your party:

  • Unique, interactive experience

  • Perfect for any celebration

  • Minimal effort for the host

  • Beautiful, take-home keepsake for every guest

  • Professional setup and cleanup

If this sounds like a great fit for your event, I’d love to connect!

About this experience partner:

My name is Valerie and I am the owner of Val Viola Candles! Nestled in Orange, CT, we are on a mission to bring you whimsical, hand-poured candles made with 100% soy wax. After years of struggling to find products that did not trigger my migraines, and failing, I got to work and found perfect high-quality and pure products that suited my needs. Once I heard that my family and friends had similar difficulties, with finding clean-burning - headache-free products, Val Viola Candles was born. Our products are phlathafate-free, paraben-free, non-toxic, eco-friendly, pet-friendly, vegan, cruelty-free, making them the perfect guilt-free indulgence.

Additional information:

  • There is a 6-person minimum for candle classes. Sessions can be held at local venues or in your home; however, we do not book locations on your behalf. We also have scheduled classes that you are able to join in on - all dates and locations listed on my website!
