  • 5/5 from Nakia Mullen, attended Dec 2023: My husband and I wanted to celebrate our 16th Wedding Anniversarycreating new experiences together. I came across Black Phlox Candle Company as a great date night experience. We are extremely happy that we went. The various scents when you enter permeate all of your senses. The teacher and staff make you feel like family. It is so warm and inviting. There are numerous options to choose from for your candle vessel, to the various scents, to making diffusers, to room sprays, and already made candles. We learned so much about how to make the candle, how to burn any candle, where to place any candle when burning, and how long to burn a candle. This is a memory that we will always treasure We plan on bringing our children, our friends for couples date night and girl's night.
  • 5/5 from Kreg Zimmern, attended Dec 2023: The Candle making Class at Black Phlox was a fantastic date night activity. The teachers were extremely knowledgeable, personable, and entertaining. The materials were very high quality, and a very good value for the money. Can not recommend more highly.
