Recent reviews of Signature Candle-Making Workshop

  • 5/5 from Erin White, attended Aug 2026: We were taken by the storefront as soon as we walked in. The teacher/owner was very informative, fun, funny and an all around engaging instructor. The signature candle making class was purchased for one of my very best friend’s birthday. She was so glad we went and is burning her candle right now as she works (I gifted her the candle I made)! We also both purchased some car aromas from the boutique. I highly recommend this experience for you and anyone from a dear friend to casual date. You will make memories and come away with a fragrant and beautiful candle.
