We had CandleLux at my bridal shower, and they truly made the entire event unforgettable. My mom hired them as a surprise, and it ended up being one of the highlights of the day. T...
he team was incredibly engaging, helpful, and super accommodating to everyone there. They created such a fun, welcoming atmosphere that got all of our guests involved and excited. One of the sweetest moments was when they stayed later than planned so my now-husband could make a candle for himself—he saw how amazing they all turned out and didn’t want to miss out! That kind of flexibility and thoughtfulness really meant a lot. CandleLux brought the shower to a whole new level. We’ve heard so many wonderful things from friends and family about how much fun they had creating their candles—and even afterward, people are still talking about how much they love using them. I can’t recommend CandleLux enough for any special event!

utiful surprise and it was such an honor to be part of your bridal shower. Knowing that the experience became one of the highlights of your day is everything we hope to create for our clients and hearing that your guests are still enjoying their candles and talking about the experience afterward is the greatest compliment we could receive. Wishing you both so much happiness, joy and love forever and ever!

Tammi and the whole CandleLux experience was just a dream come true. I booked the candle making experience as part of my best friends bachelorette party, and can confidently say it...
was everyones favorite part of the day!! We should have honestly ended the day right after because it was an impossible act to follow, she is just that great. From the moment I reached out, Tammi's response was clearly the answer to my hopes and dreams for the day. She was warm, beyond helpful, kind, professional, generous with her time, and checked off every single box-- she allowed us come in early to decorate, bring our own food and drink (but she will also help you coordinate a deeply fabulous charcuterie board!!,) add extra time to the experience so we could go at our own pace and take pictures, pick a playlist, and more. Tammi is such a beautiful soul and approached the entire experience with an open heart, a playful attitude, pure kindness and warmth, and honestly made me feel like we were old friends, even though we had just met. The class itself is also educational, fun, approachable, and so pretty. I can confidently say you will not regret booking a class with Tammi, she will make your event so special. Thank you again for everything!

Wow. Olivia, you are such a joy! Thank you so much for this... it means more to me than yo...
u'll ever know. From the moment you reached out, I could feel the love you have for Acia and how much this day meant to you. I just had to make sure everything turned out exactly how you imagined it! Being trusted with something as special as your best friend’s bachelorette celebration meant so much to me and the way you all showed up for her was heartwarming to witness. Thank you for choosing CandleLux, allowing me to create that space and have a part of such a memorable day. 🖤

s arrange every detail of the candlemaking experience for the event, even creating custom labels for the finished candles. At the shower, Lance and Latoya were so engaging, fabulous to work with, and made candle, making fun for all of our guests. Such a professional organization and we are so glad we worked with CandleLux to make our daughter‘s bridal shower memorable.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Elise. It was such a pleasure working with you and ...
being a part of your daughter’s beautiful bridal shower. We really wanted everything to feel thoughtful, seamless, and so special for Kara, so hearing this means more than I can say. We especially loved creating the custom labels… those little details always make it feel more personal and memorable. Being trusted with such a meaningful celebration is something we don’t take lightly. We’re so grateful you chose CandleLux!

CandleLux is pure magic—and so are Lance and Tammi. From the moment we walked in (bringing plenty of chaos with us), they didn’t just tolerate it—they embraced it. They made us fee...
l completely welcome, like we were hanging out with old friends rather than attending a class. The candle-making experience itself was incredible. Everything was thoughtfully organized, easy to follow, and surprisingly relaxing (even with our group!). Lance and Tammi struck the perfect balance of being helpful and letting us get creative, guiding us through scents and techniques without ever making it feel overwhelming. What really stood out was the atmosphere they created—warm, fun, and full of laughter. You can tell how much they love what they do, and it makes the whole experience that much more special. We left with amazing candles, great memories, and already talking about when we can come back. If you’re even thinking about booking a class—do it. CandleLux is something special.
