A custom candle pouring lasts anywhere from 25 - 45 minutes! We welcome reservations and walk-ins. You will pour a candle using our DIY Menu with the support of our team.

A traditional workshop, lasting a full hour, can be experienced at our Flagship Store located within our Berry Hill location in Nashville, TN. 

What does the cost include?

The cost of a reservation includes a seat at the table and everything you need to make your custom candle!

What if someone in my party doesn't want to pour a candle?

Our candle pouring reservations are for one seat. You're more than welcome to share the pouring process with a partner, but please note they may not have a seat if the pouring is full! In order to experience Paddywax Candle Bar in the best way possible, we recommend reserving a seat for each guest attending.

What is the age requirement to pour a candle?

Anyone under 18 must have a legal guardian sign their waiver. A legal guardian does not have to be present, but they must have at least one chaperone. 

Can I mix fragrances or bring my own vessel?

How do Virtual Kit private parties work?

Can I open a Paddywax Candle Bar in my city?

We're glad to hear you love Paddywax Candle Bar as much as we do! However, we are not pursuing franchise opportunities at this time.

Can I buy empty vessels or fragrance oils from you?

Empty vessels can be purchased at any of our locations for $18.00 each. We do not sell fragrance oils at this time.

Can I have a private event?

Celebrations are always welcome at Paddywax Candle Bar! You can learn more about private events here!

How do I keep my candle from tunneling?

1. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch each time before burning. Long or crooked wicks can cause uneven burning. 

2. Let the wax pool completely across each time you light it.  

3. We recommend you don't burn longer than 4-5 hours at a time. This will prevent excessive heat build up. 

4. Keep your candle within sight! Try not to move your candle unless the wax is completely dry. 

More candle care tips and fixes HERE!

How do I prepare my candle to repurpose or refill?

1.Stop burning your candle when there is still 1/4 inch of wax left.   

 2. Place your vessel in the freezer overnight or until frozen.   

 3. Remove candle from freezer and use a dull knife such as a butter knife to crack the wax.   

 4. Pop out wax pieces and remove wicks (you may need to continue to use the dull knife for this).  

 5. Wash your vessel with soap and water and you are ready to go!
