    Flower petals adorn the scented wax.

    I wanted to take my wife on Valentine's evening before dinner but, alas, discovered it a bit too late. No worries. I booked Sunday night at 7pm. We arrived on time and were rapidly seated & given friendly and concise instruction by our host. The class was comprised of about 16 guests. There are approximately 25 fragrances to choose from and guests are asked to select two to make your candle. The candle vessels are attractive and were larger than I'd expected. Overall we had a lot of fun discussing scent combos and referencing the book "Perfume" (everyone should read it!) as we assembled our final products. We popped out for a bite and returned 30 minutes later to discover our masterpieces bagged and ready to burn! For $100 per couple I found it a fun experience worth repeating. I highly recommend giving it a try!

    My friend and I decided to try out Lanterne for our annual galentine's candle-making date! We appreciated that the session was self-led and flexible with clear instructions, and the staff was very attentive and friendly in making sure everyone had what they needed at all times. The studio is so pretty, spacious, and clean. I love that they provide a ton of different options for your vessel, scent, and design. Moreover, you can reuse your vessel for a discounted session in the future. Overall, highly recommend!

    Super cute place. Very organized and it was easy to follow step by step how to make your own candle. They have a variety of scents and vessels for you to choose from. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour to make your candle, plus an additional hour to cool and set. So you can just go explore chinatown, grab some bbt/food and then come back! The owner is a sweetheart too!

    We made candles today!! The steps were surprisingly simple and the staff was super helpful. We had such a good time!! You can select up to two scents from so many. My favorite part is their refill program. There's something really satisfying about reusing the same vessel and giving it a new life each time.

    So many scents

    Such a fun experience! Came here for a girls night recently and had a blast! I love that the fragrance lineup includes more Asian-inspired scents (matcha, boba, lychee etc), in addition to classics like citrus, floral, and cashmere. Honestly all the scents smell amazing, and there are so many so come with an idea of what you like! It's a self-paced experience, but the staff are there to help if you need it. You can combine up to 2 scents to make your candle, and have a chance to sniff them side-by-side before deciding. The vessels are also so pretty, and you can decorate your candle at the end with flowers or glitter. After making your candle it takes about an hour to set, so go grab food in Chinatown while you're waiting! This place is also BYOB.

    Booked ahead of time & Took my mom here during Mother's Day weekend! I've been to another candle making place but this one was better! I love that it is self guided. The Host was readily available for any and all questions you had. They had a large variety of scents and vessels for your candle. It is byob so we brought those little mini bottles of wine! Great value and experience for the price.

    My boyfriend and I had the best time celebrating our anniversary making custom candles at Lanterne! It was easy to reserve a spot, and upon arrival everything was set up and ready for us to start. All the steps were clearly laid out for us on cards at our table, and all of the necessary materials were there as well. It was super easy to follow the instructions and there was someone there to guide us the whole way through. My favorite is how customizable everything is. You select your vessel, up to two scents to blend, and can even add flower petals/glitter and make your own label. It takes about an hour for the candle to be set and packaged after you're done, so we just ate lunch and it was ready by the time we came back. So excited to come back next time with some friends!

    When I first saw the place I was wondering if I'm gonna make lantern or candle. Such a fun establishment and experience. It's not too complicated and the instruction is clear. Love that you can pick your own scent and mix your own. I'd love to try to mix more scent next time. The founder (didn't get her name) is super nice. Definitely recommend and want to come back again already!

    Omg....what a hidden gem. I wanted to book a candle making experience for my friend and I. I actually booked this spot by mistake, and it was the best mistake I could make. It is located in the middle of Chinatown. Very modern and sleek interior. When we arrived, we were greeted and seated and explained the process from start to finish. We were given room and time to explore the different sents and color vessels we would use to create our candle. Once we began, the owner was very patient and helped to ensure that we left with the perfect candle. I not only enjoyed the experience BUT the candle is really good. I would recommend this for a girls' night out....date night...and even with older kids. I personally will be going back.

    My friend took me here this past weekend as a birthday gift and had such a great time! We showed up for our reservation at 12pm and it is very much a do on your own experience. When we came we got to choose what table we set at with all of the materials already laid out and on your table are step-by-step instructions on what to do. The worker came around during the steps where we needed wax/finishing up, and was super helpful! There are so many vessels and scents to choose from and you're able to mix up to two scents together! Very fun experience overall took about 20 minutes but then once you finish, you have to give the candles about 2 hours to dry so perfect time to walk around or grab a bite to eat! Very fun date, birthday, casual idea and would definitely come back!

    I enjoyed the experience of making my own candle! From choosing from a variety of colors for the candle holder, picking two scents, easy to follow self-guided instructions, to picking up the candle an hour later, the process was smooth and enjoyable! The price is $50 total which is pricey but normal for New York.

    Make your own candle!

    This place was super cute and great place to hold an event! The owner was super helpful and super nice! It was a great experience you were able to make your own candle with two different scents and choose your own vessel. There was a scent for everybody! I enjoyed that you could make your candle at your own pace, they displayed photos of instructions on each table so it was dummy proof! Of course the owner was there if you needed help. I would 10/10 go here again!

    Such a cute and fun experience! It is exciting to pick your own scents, candle vessel, and make your own label and decoration. The candle making experience was so enjoyable. The owner was very sweet and I liked how we were able to go at our own pace for everything. This is such a good idea for a birthday celebration, date, or activity for to do with friends. I highly recommend this experience!

    I had gone to their other location a year or two prior to this event. I had a great time and I…read moredefinitely wanted to go again. Finally the time had come. I booked a 3 person table for myself, my sister, and my grandmother to do something memorable, and I really wanted to try the location I hadn't booked before. Upon my arrival, we found that I accidentally booked for Saturday, June 13th, instead of Sunday the 14th. I was very distressed as my grandmother does not live in the states, so I was not sure what other time we would have to take this class together. Not to mention, it was completely my mistake so I did not expect a refund. I fully expected to walk out with no refund and no class booked, having to tell my little sister and my grandmother we couldn't make candles today. The worker there, Henry, definitely read it on my face. I didn't have to explain much, he immediately assured me mistakes happen and that he had space in the next session for us if we were willing to come back then. Of course we returned; I was so grateful for the amazing customer service and the understanding. All three of us had so much fun with Henry in the 2 PM class. He was very personable and funny; I was very happy to see he was leading our session after he was so helpful to me. He was also patient with my grandmother, who definitely needed some extra help during the class. I would 100% recommend this business. We had a great time and we would return.

    Wick & Pour was a fun date spot. You can customize your candle, mix scents, and take plenty of…read morepictures along the way. The group leader was friendly but mostly hands-off, which was actually nice because you can enjoy the experience without someone hovering over you. It was relaxed, safe, and easy to follow. You get quality time, a few good photos, and a candle that lets you pretend you have aromatic art skills.
