About Cork and Candles

Cork & Candles is an interactive, hands-on candle making experience where guests create their own personalized candles in a welcoming space. Guests select their favorite scents, blend them to perfection, and create their own candles during our 90-minute experience!

Our scent bar is designed to be a sensory delight, with a wide range of fragrances that cater to every preference, from exotic and fruity to earthy and floral. It's more than just candle making; it's about the joy of creation, learning, and exploration in a cozy environment where memories are made.

Cork and Candles is a business focused on the experience with a tagline of "Where Friends Gather". While there is a small retail section in each store, the business is built on the idea of bringing people together and hosting celebrations.
