Gave very clear instructions and was just super interactive which I appreciated. They have so many scents to choose from that you definitely won't be able to smell them all, but I think you can get through a good amount of them to know that you're picking the best scents that stand out to you. I think this experience is definitely worth the money! They hold the candles for you for two weeks, but you can go in the same day to pick it up too just a few hours later. I can't wait to go back!

Your experience begins by choosing 5-12 of your favorite scents from a huge wall of over 100 scents, and writing that on a sheet of paper. You also choose which vessel you want your candle to go in. After that, your scent consultant helps you pick out the three that work the best based on your preferences, and you get to try different concoctions until it smells exactly how you want it! Finally, you get to mix your essential oils and scents into the vessel with wax, and tada!! You're all set!! Honestly, for $50 a person it's not too bad, as some higher quality candles out there cost just as much.

A local company that works on their home. We met the husband at the Crystal Lake market. He was…read morevery nice and we tried some of their honey. It was excellent. I highly recommend these people. They have great product and a wide select of bee "products". We bought at the market fair the springtime, honey. We went through a jar in almost about 2 to 3 weeks. It was that good! So when I bought again, I bought the huge jar (5 lb) their honey, which is a darker hue, and a one pound jar. We went through the 1 pound very easy. But we're about halfway done with the 5 pound. So probably this spring? (Reorder?) It's a great "local honey". And we like supporting local businesses. Keep up the great work! Go to their website it's very easy to order. And then you just go to the house, and pick up your order on the front doorstep. They even give you a really nice yellowish B company heavy duty bag. Excellent touch! Keep up the great work!

If you bring in 6 customers, you are automatically charged an additional MANDTORY 20% fee called a tip. Tipping should be optional.

The only ones in their store, now I know why.

Parking was pretty easy considering it's the holiday season. We had reservations and as we walked in, we were greeted immediately and checked it. They showed us to our workstation and settled in. The store is brightly lit and smaller if different fragrances. It was not over bearing and smelled nice. Our candle expert introduced herself to us and let us know the process. She was very nice and explained everything clearly. Through the process she was helpful with answering our questions or checked in on us. After mixing our scents into the melted wax, we selected our decorations. We left and were asked to return in 1 hour so the candles can harden. When we returned we decorated the candles. Overall, what a great experience. Candles ranged from $55 to $40 dollars to start and can go higher depending on options. You can also BYOB and or Food if you wanted to have a party! I enjoyed the process and the conversation we had.

We walked around for 10 minutes, came back to the desk, rang the bell--no one came. A few minutes later, another young lady with long hair came out, saw us, and ran straight back inside. This was beyond disrespectful and unprofessional. Honestly, it felt cold and exclusionary, like we didn't belong there at all. I hate to even bring up the word, but this kind of behavior felt rooted in bias. Interesting. That's just me. Do yourself a favor--don't waste your time or money here. They need to do better.
