Question 1

Do I need experience to join the candle-making workshop?

Accepted Answer

No experience needed. This workshop is beginner-friendly and fully guided.

You’ll learn how to blend fragrances, choose your wick, and pour your own custom candle step-by-step. Even self-proclaimed “non-creative” people leave with something they’re proud of.

Question 2

What’s included in the candle workshop?

Accepted Answer

Each ticket includes:

8 oz  custom-poured candle

Premium, non toxic fragrance oils to blend

Your choice of vessel + woodwick

Hands-on instruction from start to finish

Food & Drinks are available —because wine and candle-making are a strong pairing.

Question 3

Are your candles made with clean ingredients?

Accepted Answer

Yes—and this part matters.

All Get Lit Provisions candles are made with:

U.S.-grown soy wax

Phthalate-free fragrance oils

No additives, toxins, or harmful chemicals

Pet- and family-conscious formulations

You get a candle that smells strong without the headache or questionable ingredients.

Question 4

Can I control how strong my candle smells?

Accepted Answer

You’re the boss here.

You’ll blend your own fragrance and control how bold or subtle your candle is. Want something soft and cozy? Done. Want it to punch you in the face (in a good way)? Also done.

Question 5

How long is the workshop?

Accepted Answer

Workshops run about 1.5–2 hours.

That includes scent blending, pouring your candle, and letting it set enough to safely take home.

Question 6

Can I take my candle home the same day?

Accepted Answer

⚠️ CANDLE WARNING (PLEASE READ ?):
Your candle will be ready to take home, but it needs 2 days to fully cure before burning.
Lighting it early may result in:
Weak scent throw
Uneven burn
Personal disappointment

We don’t want that for you.

Plain terms: Take it home. Be patient.

Question 7

Can I come alone?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely.

Many guests come solo and end up chatting, laughing, and swapping scent ideas with the group. It’s naturally social without being awkward.

Plain terms: Come alone, leave with a candle and maybe new friends.

Question 8

Is this good for birthdays or group outings?

Accepted Answer

Yes—this is what we’re known for.

Perfect for:

Birthdays

Girls’ nights

Date nights

Team outings

“We needed to get out of the house” nights

Private workshops are also available if you want your own vibe.

Question 9

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Keep it casual.

Candle-making is hands-on. Maybe skip the all-white outfit unless you like living on the edge.  Dress cute—but not too brave.

Question 10

What’s the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Tickets are non-refundable due to limited seating.

If something comes up, you can transfer your ticket to a friend so it doesn’t go to waste.
