Duration
Classes typically last 45–60 minutes. Once the class is over, candles take approximately 45 minutes to set enough to be taken home. You can return after 45 minutes or anytime before closing. We also hold your candles for up to 30 days, so feel free to pick them up another day within that timeframe.
Cancellation & Late Policy
We recommend arriving at least 10 minutes before your scheduled booking. Chicago traffic and parking can be unpredictable, so allow extra time. Guests arriving more than 10 minutes late cannot be admitted, to ensure the best experience for everyone.
If you are running late, you can reschedule for another time or date. Full refunds are available for cancellations made up to 48 hours (2 days) prior to the class. Same-day or next-day cancellations are non-refundable.
What to Do While You Wait
While your candles set, explore our retail section or the vibrant Bucktown neighborhood. Nearby spots we recommend:
- Thrd Coffee – breakfast and coffee

- The Stop Along Pizza and Stuff – world-famous burgers
Discover local artwork or stroll along the 606 Milwaukee Point. Still can’t decide? Ask our team for more recommendations — we’re happy to help!
Parking
Parking in Chicago can be challenging. We recommend using Lyft or Uber if possible. If you drive, the best options are residential streets off Wilmont Ave. or Leavitt St. Avoid parking during street cleaning or block parties. Metered parking is available on nearby streets ($2.50/hour). Consider downloading the Park Chicago app to help find parking.
Arrive early to ensure you can make it to your reservation on time!
Age Requirements
All participants over 4 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Children under 4 cannot participate due to the handling of hot wax. Thank you for your cooperation!
Let customers speak for us
This candle smells great and burns really well. I've had trouble keeping wood wicks lit in the past, especially with soy wax (which this candle seems to be), but I'm having no trouble at all with this one!
This was my first time experiencing this event and I really enjoyed myself. Our host was very friendly and helpful
Such a fun experience. Our instructor guided us through all of the steps and was really kind. 10/10
This is something different and a lot of fun for the family. My daughters did some research and picked this place out. Owners are very nice, place is great and my wife loved it. Highly recommended. Lots of places to eat in the area also.
It was amazing, thorough, and they were really caring towards safety to not injure yourself
I had a wonderful time celebrating my friend's birthday here. The instructor, Eliianna, was so delightful and fun. The scents, the vessels, and the toppings were all so good!!

Wish there were more people but the experience itself was nice.
great experience for a great cost. instructors are helpful and materials are great quality
I booked this candle making class for me and my daughter. She loves candles, so I figured this was a good opportunity to actually make our own.
The class was super fun. Our teacher was super knowledgeable and friendly. She cracked jokes along the way and made everyone feel at ease with her comforting energy!
Would definitely book again! 🩷
