So you want to host a Private Party!
I love to help people celebrate occasions, and this studio is the perfect spot to host a private gathering!
In spring 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 or things to sip on. Private parties will have access to a washroom during the event. There are a few local bars we love to recommend for celebrating if you’d like to have drinks during your day out in West Branch, and there are many boutiques and eateries to enjoy. 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!
Events take approximately one to two hours, depending on the experience. Minimum requirement for private party is $250 and is broken down by cost per person, depending on the experience. We kindly ask that payment is due in full to secure the date and time for your private event. You will be given a private link (where separate transactions can occur) paid in full as a group within a week of receiving link.
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 30 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 including tax.
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 including tax. Please chat more with Erika about your budget range and what type of arrangement like you’d 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 including tax.
What did a client say about their recent experience?
We worked with Erika at Tura Lura Co. to organize a private social event for work colleagues. The communication and focus on detail from Erika as we finalized plans for our event was amazing. Erika worked with us on a date/time that fit our group and set up the private link for sign-ups and payment through her website. As the organizer of the event, all I had to do was share the details and the link with my colleagues, which made it so simple. Erika sent me weekly updates on sign-ups, etc. too! Our group LOVED the event. It was such a good way to get out of the office and do something fun together that also allowed for socializing and good conversation. Everyone is still raving about what a fun experience it was and about how much they love their candles. I cannot recommend a private event with Tura Lura Co. enough!
Some important details for you to consider:
If you would like to start a conversation about a private party, please email erika@turaluraco.com letting me know what workshop you are interested in, estimated number of attendees, and preferred dates and times you’d like to host a private party. Any additional information you want to provide is great!
At this time, Erika runs all the workshops at Tura Lura Co. If you’d like to combine and do a longer workshop with two of the workshops, we can definitely accommodate what you’d like to do! Let me know in your email your ideas how you want to make your event special.
Due to the limited space in the studio, and the experiential nature of the workshops, we ask that each person attending the private party register for a spot and participate.
At this time, we do not rent out the studio to outside workshops or rent out the studio just as a party room.
You or guests may choose to cancel your registration for a private event, however we are unable to offer refunds.
Accommodations are welcome, please email to discuss.
