We come to your home, office, or venue anywhere in the Treasure Valley (Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Kuna, Star, Nampa, and Caldwell).

What Our Guests Are Saying

5-star Google review

“I had such a great time at their candle pouring class, and it was so neat seeing and being part of the process. Highly recommend the class and their company! Jess and Luke are incredible and so very kind! Check them out!”

Lindsey F., class guest
  • Candle pouring station set up for a Scent of Home event — featuring a scent menu, glass vessel, and fragrance tools ready for guests to create their own candle.

    We Set Up

    We arrive early with everything: vessels, fragrance, wax, tools, and materials. For Full-Service events, we bring tables and chairs too. You don't lift a finger.

  • Participant at a Scent of Home candle pouring workshop — hands-on candle making event where guests craft their own soy candles.

    You Create

    Each guest chooses from our exclusive event-only fragrance menu, mixes their scent with clean soy wax, and pours their own 10oz candle. We guide you through every step—no experience needed.

  • Scent of Home candle cooling in a glass vessel during a candle pouring class — showcasing the hands-on experience guests enjoy with each ticket.

    You Take It Home

    Candles cure for 24-48 hours before burning. Each guest leaves with a hand-poured candle (95+ hour burn time), a custom label, and bragging rights.

What You'll Make

Every guest makes their own hand-poured soy candle from start to finish:

  • Choose your scent from our event-only fragrance menu. These scents rotate and aren't sold in our shop.
  • Mix your fragrance into clean soy wax. We walk you through the ratios.
  • Pour into a clear glass vessel with a gold lid.
  • Name it with a custom label (everyone's favorite part).
  • Take it home the same day. It's ready to light after curing for 24–48 hours and burns for 95+ hours.

Want to go bigger? Upgrade to a 16oz 3-wick candle for $10 more per guest.

Book Your Event
  • Birthday Parties

    Make their birthday unforgettable. Everyone goes home with a personalized candle and memories that last longer than cake.

    Tired of the same old dinner-and-drinks routine? Try something creative, hands-on, and actually fun to talk about later.

  • Bridal Shower

    Give your bride-to-be and her crew a relaxing, creative experience. Each guest makes a candle to remember the day.

  • Team Building Event

    Get your team out of the office and doing something together that doesn't involve trust falls or awkward icebreakers.

  • Holiday Parties

    Skip the generic corporate event. Give your team (or clients) a hands-on experience they'll actually enjoy and remember.

    Sometimes you don't need a reason. Gather your people, pour some candles, and make it a night.

  • Thank you, Boise!

    Our first public candle pouring class at The Warehouse Food Hall was such a fun night. Thank you to everyone who came out to pick a scent, pour, and name a candle of their own, and to The Warehouse for hosting us.

    We're already planning the next one. Public classes don't need a group of 8, so they're the easiest way to grab a friend and pour together. Join our list to hear about the next date before it's announced anywhere else.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We've got answers. Here's everything you need to know about booking a candle making class.

How much does a candle making class cost?

We offer two packages:

Standard Pour – $55 per person
Includes all supplies, materials, and guided instruction. You provide the space, tables, and chairs.

Full-Service Pour – $65 per person
Includes everything in the Standard Pour plus tables and chairs, with setup and cleanup handled by our team.

Can I book a class for just me or a couple of friends?

Yes. Private events start at 8 guests, but we also host public classes where you can buy individual tickets. Our next public class is in the works. Join our email list to hear about the date first.

Can I book and pay online?

Yes, if you're paying for the whole group. Book online with 8 or more tickets (one per guest) and fill in your event details before checkout. Online bookings need to be at least 3 weeks out. We'll confirm your date within 24 hours. If your guests are paying separately, use the request form below, and a 20% deposit holds your date.

Can we upgrade to a larger candle?

Yes! You can upgrade to a 16oz 3-wick candle for an additional $10 per person. It uses more wax, fragrance oil, and wicks, giving you a stronger scent throw and longer burn time.

We also bring a few extra vessels if guests want to pour an additional candle. Extra pours are paid separately at the event.

How long does a candle making class last?

Most events run 90–120 minutes.

For larger groups, we rotate guests through stations of 6-8 people so everyone gets time to choose their scent and pour without feeling rushed.

How many people can attend?

Groups of 8-12 work best for a single session.

For larger parties (15-30 people), we schedule rotating stations so smaller groups go through at a time. This keeps the experience fun, relaxed, and personalized.

Minimum group size is 8 guests.

Do we need to bring anything?

Nope! We provide everything:

  • Glass vessels with gold lids
  • Premium soy wax
  • Exclusive fragrance oils
  • Wicks and wax melters
  • All tools and equipment

For Full-Service events, we also bring tables and chairs and handle all cleanup afterward.

You just bring your group and your creativity.

Can we choose our fragrances?

Yes! Every guest chooses from our exclusive event-only fragrance menu.

These scents are specially curated for our classes and rotate regularly—you won't find them in our regular collection. It makes every pour unique, and there's always something new to try when you come back.

Where do classes take place?

We come to you! We can set up at:

  • Your home
  • Your office
  • A venue of your choice

We serve the entire Treasure Valley: Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Kuna, Star, Nampa, and Caldwell.

If your event is more than 30 minutes outside the Treasure Valley (like McCall, Sun Valley, or Twin Falls), a small travel fee of $25-$50 may apply.

There are two ways to book:

Paying for the whole group: Book online with 8 or more tickets, add your preferred date, time, and location, and check out. We'll confirm your date within 24 hours and send your event summary.
