After my initial experience at Cork & Candles, I was pleasantly surprised by the level of care and…read moreprofessionalism shown by the co-founder. He personally reached out, invited us back (with additional guests too), and made every effort to ensure we had a much better experience. This visit felt completely different. Our new host was more attentive, present throughout the experience, and made us feel welcomed and ensured we were prepared. The customer service and overall atmosphere were improved and made the experience feel much more worth the investment. I truly appreciate a business that listens to feedback and takes action to make things right. That level of customer care speaks volumes, and I'm grateful they turned my experience around in such a thoughtful way.

Cork and Candles was defintely an amazing experience. Its my vacation from the hustle and bustle of…read morebeing a social worker and I decided to take myself out on a solo date to make candles! I looked on the website and I believe you have to book online only to reserve your spot. On the website, you can decide what experience you would like to have such as their signature candle in which you make two candles, the candle of the month or a cereal bowl candle experience. I chose the signature candle which was 75.00. Once I arrived, I noticed that the shop was cute and creatively decorated. I had the pleasure of meeting my host Becky who was sooo personable and simply Ahmazing! Becky explained how candle making works and discussed the scent bar in which I could choose between earthy, fruity or exotic scents for the candles and you can also select two candle jars. I decided to get a bigger candle jar which was an extra 10.00. Overall i became a chandler and made two beeyutiful candles and Becky gave me healing crystals and the large candle jar free of charge!! I was so grateful and appreciative being as tho It took me along time to accept nice things and blessings from people, I would always block it... but that's another story! Cork and candles!!! I will defintely be back for that cereal bowl candle which is also pre made for purchasing along with other creative candles. Great for couples, girls nite out, birthdays etc!

They don't refund ... even when they are clearly in the wrong…read more.. My husband booked this as a surprise date night for us. We arranged childcare and drove almost an hour to attend, only to find out the only thing you can paint is hats, which is not clearly stated when booking. I don't wear hats, and my husband said he never would have booked it if that had been obvious. When I asked about it, the host insisted it was clearly listed, which made my husband look like he had done something wrong. After leaving, I checked the website again and it still does not clearly say hats are the only option. For $85 per person, the value just isn't there. The photos show far more embellishments and supplies than what is actually provided. The hats themselves look like inexpensive bulk items. Alcohol is advertised as included. We understood that meant limited options since they can't legally sell alcohol, but the selection was even worse than expected. We arrived 10 minutes early to use the restroom and were still told we needed to leave 15 minutes early -- even though we were the only people there at 7pm on a Friday night. I called afterward to give honest feedback and instead of addressing the concerns, the host asked if I was "okay," which felt dismissive. At this price point, customers deserve a much clearer description of what they are actually paying for when booking online... The host/couple that were own/worked there were nice enough during the time slot. Things were still awkward and I didn't want to make my husband feel bad for his effort into planning this date night. I'm not one to write reviews but I'm really annoyed.

Unfortunately, some people misunderstood the owner's decision, made in an abundance of caution, to "censor" a picture over a perceived potential copyright violation before posting it on Facebook. These people took it as a slight on their profession, began sharing their anger on social media until it went viral, and a virtual mob was born. Board & Brush doesn't deserve any negative comments that were posted as a result of that campaign, nor do they deserve the threatened boycott.
