At Wick and Pour, we offer immersive, creative private candle-making experiences in NYC, ideal for friends, families, and coworkers seeking the perfect way to connect and unwind. We specialize in in-house candle making parties as well as off-site events, ideal for birthdays, team building, bachelorette parties, and baby showers. Ready to get started? Here’s our guide on how to host a memorable and fun candle-making event that your guests will absolutely love.

Pick the Perfect Location for Your New York City Candle Making Event

We love providing our guests with flexible options, especially for private candle making parties, where curating the perfect vibe is half the fun! Our events typically last two hours, giving you plenty of time to get creative without rushing, while still leaving your group time to explore the city or grab a drink after the experience. For on-site candle-making parties, we offer two gorgeous and conveniently located Manhattan studios.

West Village Candle-Making Studio: Bleecker Street

Located at 277 Bleecker St, New York, NY 10014, our West Village candle making studio is right in the heart of one of NYC’s most iconic neighborhoods. Just a short walk from Washington Square Park, this location is perfect for smaller, intimate gatherings of up to 10 people. Step inside and you’ll find yourself immersed in gorgeous pink decor and a sleek candle bar where you and your friends can sit and craft together. The surrounding neighborhood is home to great cafes like Asano and Absolute Coffee, as well as delicious local restaurants. We recommend grabbing some classic Italian at Palma or Japanese yakitori at Torizaku.

Lower Manhattan Candle-Making Studio: Mott Street

If you’re planning a bigger celebration, our Lower Manhattan studio at 167 Mott St, New York, NY 10013 is the perfect choice. Located near Sara D. Roosevelt Park, our candle studio features booth seating, aesthetic pink decor, plus floral-lined walls, perfect for group photos! This location can accommodate groups of up to 20 people, making it a popular choice for corporate team-building events or larger bachelorette parties. After your private candle-making workshop, explore Nolita and Little Italy’s many top-rated cafes and restaurants like Caffe Roma and Zia Maria, and keep the party going!

Off-Site Candle Making Parties in Your Home or Office

Can’t make it to us? Don’t worry, we can bring the fun to you! Our mobile candle-making workshops are designed to be a fun, interactive addition to any special occasion or event. Whether you’re hosting at your home, a rented space, or your corporate office, we set up everything you need, including a wide selection of colorful waxes, premium fragrances, and customizable containers. Our private, off-site candle-making classes are ideal for birthdays, corporate wellness events, weddings, showers, and kids’ birthday party ideas in NYC.

Curated Event Planning for Your Custom Candle Making Party

One of the best things about choosing a private candle-making party in New York City is that you don’t have to worry about all the logistics. We make hosting as stress-free as possible, providing the location, instructors, and high-quality materials you need for your event. Our dedicated event coordinator works with you to plan every detail, including the date, time, and any specific themes or scent preferences your group might have. Bring your favorite wine, bubbly, or soft drinks to enjoy while you learn how to make a candle from start to finish in our beautiful NYC studio.
