I love to help people celebrate occasions, and this studio is the perfect spot to host a private gathering!

In spring and summer 2024 you may choose from hosting a private party with Candle Pour Bar, Dried Floral Bar, or Reed Diffuser Bar. We can accommodate parties of 6-18 comfortably in the space. Parties are allowed to decorate for occasions, and bring in snacks.

Events take approximately one to two hours, depending on the experience. Minimum requirement for private party is $300, see costs below.

Candle Pour Bar is our flagship experience and the workshop takes about two hours. During the first hour, we work as a large group to create our candles - with lots of social time. Each guest is invited to pick out their color jar, blend their own unique fragrance from a selection of over 40 scents, then they are supplied with the knowledge and equipment to create a 9oz candle. While candles are drying, guests typically mingle and have fun! Hosts may choose to bring in food, opt for team builder activities, celebrate an occasion with party games, or relax and chat. We can also coordinate with local boutiques to set up private shopping experiences, or coordinate with local eateries to cater food. Before bringing home their custom creation, guests will add their final touch. We supply a typewriter for guests to name their candle, everyone learns the art of trimming their wicks, and we end our time by taking group photos. Cost of Candle Pour Bar is $45/person.

Dried Floral Bar is run as a workshop style experience. Events take approximately one hour. During the hour, we work as a large group to create arrangements - with lots of social time. We learn the basics of dried floral arrangement, and are supplied with the knowledge and tools to construct a showstopping piece. Dried florals are considered everlasting, meaning they are very durable and can be displayed for years with proper care. And when guests are done, just compost the florals to be sustainable with your decor. Cost of Dried Floral Bar varies on host’s selection, and begins at $24/person. Please chat more with Erika about your budget range and what type of arrangement you would like to make.

Reed Diffuser Bar is a spin on Candle Pour Bar, where we construct a custom fragrance in a reed diffuser! Run in an hour long workshop, each guest gets to smell the fragrances and blends their unique custom scent. During the session you’ll learn more about the science of making a reed diffuser and how to care for your reed diffuser. Before bringing home their custom creation, guests will add their final touch with a typewriter to create a label. We end our time by taking group photos. Cost of Reed Diffuser Bar is $24/person.

This studio is the perfect spot to plan a gathering for friends, a bachelorette party, and baby showers! We can mix and match and do two events in one, having candles and florals for a longer event. And if you’d like extra support in planning games or other activities for a party, please share that too.

Private parties will have access to a washroom in the studio during the event. There are NA drinks to purchase in studio and there are a few local bars we love to recommend for celebrating if you’d like to have spirits during your day out in West Branch. There are many boutiques and eateries to enjoy in town to round out your experience. Feel free to reach out and let us know what you are thinking and how we can support your vision for creating an event in West Branch!
