Had a fun date night here. The candle making experience was very easy, and only took about 5-10 minutes once you picked your vessel and scent. It wasn't the dipping in wax/water type of candle making I remembered from childhood, more so just mixing in a scent then pouring hot wax in the vessel. They have lots of great vessels & scents to choose from, so that took us a lot longer than actually making the candle! Staff were helpful and friendly. Of note for people who may be traveling to Nashville - you cannot leave with your candle and it takes 2-3 hours to set, so if you book near the end of the day you will need to come back the next day to get it. They will ship your candle for $15 pp if needed. read more

Such a fun interactive experience making your own candle! I loved all the different vessels you can choose from. Wish there was more of a variety of scents to choose from and it'd be cool to be able to make your own scent by mixing them. The staff was incredibly helpful and always walking around to assist. Definitely a great date night or activity to do with friends! The candle was ready a few hours later, so you can definitely walk around the area or grab a bite and then go back and pick it up. but we went back the next day to pick it up. Highly recommend if you're looking for an hour long activity in the Gulch! read more

This is a fun activity to do for a group, date night, or girls night out. You pick your scent, container, and make your candle! The staff will bring the wax and wicks and otherwise you follow the instructions. It takes about 20 minutes, so overall it's fairly expensive, but it's about the experience, right? read more

Truly enjoyed our experience in November 2023. Fun for a girls weekend or just something to do. My grandmother (pictured in orange) passed recently and this was such a great memory. The employees were very nice, patient with us and helped us to have a good time. There is a great selection of scents and even the pots. Worth every bit of money we paid for! read more

Perfect activity to do with friends or family in Nashville! All of the workers were kinda and helpful. The selection is wonderful, picking the canister and scent for your candle are the hardest part of the process. The best part though is the value! To save the most, we went during happy hour (4pm reservation) which was only 35/pp and no corkage fee for the wine we brought (usually $8). This fee covers everything with no hidden t extra charges. Coolest part is you can get oven/food safe candle canisters if you want to use after your candle is done, or you can go to another one of their locations and refill it for $20. Amazing experience! read more

Came here with a friend for a cute activity in nashville. Made reservations online a few days prior but I think they also take walk ins. It was a fun experience being able to make your own candle. They have plenty of different container and you're able to choose up to two scents. Super easy process. You do have to come back to pick up your candle in 3 hours or get it shipped for $12 read more

I took a class here years ago for my 30th birthday & guess what, I still have the original vessel and refill it for $10!! This is amazing, any Paddywax vessel can be brought in for $10 refills, truly a great deal/eco friendly! The staff is so kind, this is a great stop for gifts (in addition to candles they have journals, pens, notebooks, coffee mugs, and other stationary items) and sometimes there is a pop-up shop like today they had a permanent jewelry station! I will for sure comeback for a candle making class one day - so intimate & fun for a couple or friend group! All the scents are amazing but my staple is the Vanilla Oakmoss and the Tobacco Patchouli!!! read more

Such a fun girls night out or date night! You can pick various vases for your candle along with your scent! It's a fun creative activity and you get a candle in return! The candles burn lovely as well and last for months! Bring some wine and snacks and have a great time! read more

I love Paddywax and was so excited when I found out they were opening a location closer to my house! The new location is very cute and compact. It's located right next to The Pub. The blue awning is the dead giveaway. When you first walk in, the checkout counter is right in front of you. Then, if you turn right, there is the merchandise area where you can get your shopping on. Then if you go further back, the candle making station with three long tables. I learned that you do not need to make reservations at the Gulch to make candles! You can just show up with your friend(s). Everyone was very friendly and I picked up a small gift. I love how they color coded their merch area. It was very esthetically pleasing and I could check out different types of candles, notepads, and other items I never knew I needed until I saw them. If you're looking for something fun to do or need to pick up a darling gift for a friend, sister, Mom, or colleague, look no further! read more

This is a perfect activity for a friend group or a bachelorette party in Nashville! They have a great variety of candle holders and a wide variety of scents for you to choose from. You have a helper the entire time in case you have questions. We really had the best time and they are very high quality candles. read more

My sister and I signed up to pour our own candles which was 40 bucks a person. It is a self guided process but the employees are around to help if you need it. You pick your vessel, scent, and then mix it with pre melted candle wax supplied by the employees and voilà! You've made a candle! You have to wait a few hours for it to set, so you can swing by the shop later in the day or have it shipped to you for an additional fee. In addition to pouring your candle at PaddyWax, you get 20% off retail purchases when you pour with them! Great experience! read more

This is a fun little activity for any day of the week. I was excited to try something different than a paint and sip spot. The entire process while simple can been pretty involved. Fortunately the staff are friendly and they have a guidebook at each station which walks you through making your own candles. You have the option of purchasing items (candles, soap, etc) from their store front or you may choose to make your own candles. If you should opt to make your own candles you will receive 20% of any store front purchases. I'm summarizing a bit but here's the process: Step 1 - Choose your Vessel Step 2 - Choose your oil mix Step 3 - Prep your vessels for wax Step 4 - Pour in the wax Your candles will be ready in about 3hrs These are soybean wax candles so they will burn for a longer period of time than candles purchased from places such and bath and body works. read more

Our candlemaking experience at Paddywax was amazing! I wanted to do something different for girls night out & had seen Paddywax on social media a few times. I'm so glad we made the choice to visit. We brought a bottle of wine & had the best time! The vessel options are so cute & they have so many scents to choose from. We did the drop in option which is DIY with instructions, and let me just say I have a newfound level of respect for candlemakers! If you learn better with visual instruction, there are other options with an instructor at their other location by appointment. However, this option was convenient for us on a Friday night just dropping in. You do have to leave your candle there and pickup later when it's ready. I'm loving my candle and Idk something about it just feels much more valued since I made it myself. read more

What a fun, quick and self guided candle making class! The shop is darling. In the front there are plenty of candles and accessories to purchase if you don't have time to "pour your own." If you do...you get to pick you own vessel and scent. They have so many lovely options. Once you'be finished wait time is 3 hours, but there is plenty of shops and eateries close by! read more

My boyfriend brought me here for my birthday we interacted with multiple employees none of them told us the time the store had closed at 5. It was extremely upsetting because by the time we had gotten back with downtown traffic the store was closed. The employe inside would not talk to use and shooed us away. We spent 87$ on two candles to get pour customer service we did call the berry hill location and they were way more professional and offered excellent customer service. We still did not get my birthday candles and will have to figure out a time to come back. But this was definitely an upsetting way to end my birthday would not recommend if your coming later than 1pm the employees will not help and there is no number to call either. read more

The actual activity was pretty fun. Only thing about this process that is a tad annoying is that you have to come back 3 hours later to pick up your candle, or ship it for an arm and a leg. We've done this a few times at other places and this cost us double what other places cost and it really wasn't that different. Unless you're cool with paying $40 for a candle normally. In that case you will probably love this place. read more

Did the candle making class for $45. I've done it before at other locations and it was great! The instructors are usually super friendly and guide you along the way. This time, however, it was more of a DIY, no instructor type of class. Which is fine, but we weren't aware of that beforehand. So once we begin, we got a brief overview of what to do. We were basically given a manual to follow. However, once we got past choosing a smell and a vessel, it felt those working in the store forgot about us? And they weren't particularly friendly. Felt more like a burden than anything when we were asking questions. We finished our candles and they ended up smelling and looking great! But I'd go to another location. For me, I'm paying for the experience. But instead I basically paid for a $45 candle I could've just bought elsewhere lol read more

We have ordered Paddywax and always loved their products. We were visiting Tennessee and were so excited to find a Paddywax store. The products in the store looked and smelled wonderful. Unfortunately the sales associates never acknowledged us or asked if they could help us. There were two other customers in the store creating their own candles so it wasn't busy by any means. I kept trying to make sure contact with the sales associates, to give a friendly smile but to no avail, its like we were invisible. Extremely disappointed with lack of customer service. read more

I Went to Paddywax to refill a candle I had purchased in the past and had a wonderful time picking a new scent! The women who helped me (Kali) was very kind and patient with me while I asked for help and asked questions refilling my candle I even went ahead and purchased to more candles that I made myself! I will definitely be coming back to refill my candles vessels in the future! It was such a joy! read more
