    I had the best time coming here with my partner! I'm always happy to support a black and woman owned business, and it's great to hear they've brought this experience to the 757 and North Carolina. I will forever associate the smell of my candle-- I chose pink sands and eucalyptus-- with an awesome day. Highly recommend Wick & Sip for any celebrations or special occasions!

    This candlemaking experience was a surprise from my partner! We had a great time from start to finish. I absolutely loved that we were supporting a black and woman owned small business. We were greeted by "Fred" who gave us a rundown of the history and guided us step-by-step through the candlemaking process. Fred was so gracious and we can't thank him enough for his grace as we arrived an hour ahead of our scheduled appointment time, unknowingly. My partner lives in CST zone so we didn't even realize we were following that. lol Nevertheless Fred allowed us to start our experience early since we were already there. We got to have 2 complimentary drinks throughout the experience. I opted for the blueberry lemonade cider. It was 6.2% ABV and very delicious. My partner and I both opted for the 2 scent candle and it did not disappoint. I mixed "Lily & Hibiscus" with "Pink Sands" and the outcome smell was so perfect. I can't remember what smells my partner mixed but they smelled nice too. They have a selection of items to purchase. The experience was totally worth it. Would definitely recommend this place. The only con was that it was FREEZING in there. It seemed to get colder the longer we stayed. So bundle up when you go! Otherwise it was great.

    Took my girlfriend here for a date and it was very cute. They start off with a beverage for you to drink. You get to smell a bunch of different oil scents and combine two of them together. The instructors were so fun and interactive. My candle ended up smelling amazing, and I was amazed and how much fun I had making my own candle. Definitely would recommend trying this out.

    This was a really great experience!!! They let us pick a glass to put the wax in. Then we picked a scent. They had a variety of scents to choose from. It was $45 and well worth it and they also gave us drinks as well.

    So glad I picked this spot it was nothing short of amazing for only $45 per person this black owned woman owned candle making establishment gave me an enjoyable date night. From the moment you walk in the smells of all the scents and the atmosphere just changes your energy. This experience was very fun and educational. The complimentary drinks were also really good. The music was perfect for the vibe. I love the scent I created and the apron I picked. I highly recommend and will be back.

    Ambiance: cute date night, girls night or bestie date night vibes! My bestie and I were gifted by another great friend gift certificates to make candles and we enjoyed the experience! Service: the host did an amazing job explaining the ins and outs of candle making to include the safety measures and candle upkeep. You also have a few options of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages, I opted for a sweet wine (not expensive but good) which is included in the price and you get a refill. Product: over candle burns well but the scent doesn't carry like a typical BBW candle. Still very much so worth the experience!

    Went here for a friends bday and loved everything about it! Fred was our instructor and he made it a party! Music was bumping and the energy was great. You get two glasses of wine with your ticket (which they are very generous with the pour). For your candle you get to choose the vessel and up to two scents from their selection, all of which you get to smell prior to pouring. I chose to mix Vanilla & their "Egyptian Amber" blend and if you love warm comforting not too sweet scents -- I highly recommend the combo. Definitely recommend for a date night or a girls night! Additional notes: While they are very generous with people being late, just plan to get there at least 20 mins early bc parking in that area can be straight garbage! Lol

    Love this small and black owned business! Our class was led by Lauren and she was a wonderful server/instructor with a great taste in music that set a fun and romantic vibe. There are soooo many scents to choose from, you'll easily find something that fits your pallet. The overall decorations and aesthetic are such a vibe too. I highly recommend giving this class a try, it's so fun and creative!

    I haven't had this much fun in awhile! 4 of my girlfriends and I decided to attend a workshop for a Galentine's Day outing. We did have difficulty finding the establishment after we parked. They give a 15min grace period, and fortunately, they allowed us to still attend. The space is bright, welcoming and has a fun vibe with the paintings and different signs. All the tools you need are laid out at the table as well as a fragrance menu. I love how customizable this was between the candle holder, fragrances and stickers. While your candle is hardening you can browse the candles and other items on sale by the owner. There are also many photo ops while vibing to the music. You do get 2 drinks (alcoholic or non alcoholic) with your ticket. There is also a bathroom available if needed. I will definitely return.

    This is my second time coming here and it was absolutely amazing both visits. For this trip, I saw they were having a Gal's night and knew my best friend and I had to go. We found parking at the lot two doors down and it was only $5 from 7:30 pm to 6:30 am. There was street parking though everything was taken due to another class finishing up before us. When we walked in, the shop was decorated in Valentine's day decorations and the displays as well as the tables had gorgeous roses on them. After checking in, we picked a table that they had set up for the number of people in your party. We then went and started picking our scents. They have a scent list at your seat so you can see them organized by category, but there's also a scent card by each fragrance with a description of the notes. You get to pick whichever vessel you want and they have some really good choices. They had so many different colors and some were matte, others were see through. I picked the oil slick type color to match the other jar I have at work. The class is so fun! The staff walk you step by step through everything and help if needed. The energy is always up and in between talking, they have music playing to jam to. For $45, you get everything needed to make your candle, as well as 2 drinks. For this event, they had special mimosas (pineapple and strawberry) which were delicious! For an hour and a half class with two drinks plus everything to make a custom candle, I think the price is very reasonable. I also ended up buying some premade soaps and incense as well. They have you pick out a motivational apron, so I always love to see which ones there are. I will most definitely be back and am already planning the next trip. This is such a fun spot, whether it's a date, girl's night, coworker get together, or even a trip with your child. You must come check them out.

    Located in downtown Richmond, Wick and Sip is a great place for a group or date night! Parking was off the street, so arrive 10 mins early to find a good spot. Chelsea was our hostess and was very welcoming and provided exceptional service! Chelsea was fun and information. Energy was positive and all around. The interior is spacious and inviting. With tables set up to promote a seamless candle making experience. There were various fragrances to choose from. The candle workshop was 90 minutes, so plenty of time to choose fragrances and create your candle. With your reservation, you get two complimentary alcoholic drinks. Don't drink? They offer non-alcoholic options as well. Music, drinks, candles...such an amazing birthday gift or Sunday Funday activity!! Will 100% book again! Worth the price and experience.

    Went here for a date night and it did not disappoint! The host was energetic and lively, which really made the experience. I had a great time learning how to make a candle, relaxing and sipping on some wine. I definitely recommend Wic and Sip for date nights or get together with friends!

    Candle-making is such a fun activity, and this shop is located conveniently in the heart of downtown Richmond. Street parking is available, and depending on the day of the week, you may have to park several blocks away and walk. My partner and I came to Wick and Sip as part of a group event hosted by a local alumni organization. We were given clear instructions by the friendly employees. The first step is to select up to two scents from the scent wall. You are given the chance to smell all of the options, which are grouped by scent profile. Once you have selected the scents, you select your vessel for your candle. The employees walk you through how to pour and mix the scents with the wax in the vessel, and help you place the wick. You also get a complimentary beverage. The final step is to create your own label and name your scent. The shop feels very cozy with unique art on the walls and large windows in the front. There is also a large older staircase in the back that is perfect for photo opportunities. Overall a fun date night activity. My only complaint was that I felt a little rushed to pick my scents and complete the steps to finish the candle, but since we were part of a large group that had booked the shop for a certain block of time, this was understandable. I'd love to come back and create another piece - there are so many options to make many unique candles.

It isn't cheap, but a lot of it is artisan-made. The Gallery is located inside the hotel, it's a mix of a gift shop and a gallery. The Gallery itself is down some stairs in the gift shop section and also near some windows on the same level as the gift shop. They always have rotating artists. In the past, the downstairs part only had art up, but it now looks like they're putting up some things to sell as well. It's free to visit, so if you don't want to buy anything that's ok. The people who work here are always super welcoming and kind. I highly recommend stopping by.

This was one of the first stores in the area to carry reproduction Miriam Haskell jewelry. The owners also produce a few of their own items including pop-art-ish plates with silhouettes on them and tote bags featuring prints of old Richmond postcards. I've also seen funky cameras, felt handbags, earrings made from recycled tin and a selection of note cards and stationery that always makes it hard to leave without something. Most recently I'm in love with the little reusable cloth sandwich and snack bags featuring bold patterns; the glass water bottles and wine glasses that are made to resemble their plastic counterparts; and the wooden "Not Plastic Cutlery" that comes in packaged in a cloth napkin. The fun selection makes this a great place for buying gifts or just treating yourself. If you're there to shop, make sure you check out the front of the store and the room in back behind the main gallery display. There's lots of good stuff waiting for you.

She took a look at my plant and gave tips and tricks. She also trimmed off things that I missed and things she felt like were doing more harm. She even helped me make a plan thru the summer so for my plant. She did all of this with a smile no charge! They have this awesome flyer posted on the counter with their names and Venmo's so of course I looked out for her as it was so deserving! This was a well needed trip!

In the meantime please go visit them for all your plant needs and to pick up so new babies. They have plants from roots; plants being propagated; full grown; mid size. Whatever you need they have along with the knowledge to pick what's best for you!
