Light + Bark Candle Co.

Really great staff there, and made the candle making project a nice activity for my wife and I to do. You might be there a while because they have so many scents. It is really hard making the perfect candle, but it's fun to do. Nice activity to do with your spouse. The ladies that helped us out were great, just need to warn people it takes 2 hours for the candle to harden before you can take it home. So if you're from out of town and have a flight to catch that day like we did, this is something you need to know.

What an amazing event! We came on a weekend for an early girls get together. If you're looking for an activity to do with your girlfriends or daughters this is the one! There is plenty of time to socialize and you get to leave with non toxic amazing product of your own creation. The staff here is super helpful and welcoming and they can help you with scent profiles if you aren't sure what to combine. If you're looking for your next girls get together come check them out and you can make candles too! They are worth every penny, and I can't wait to go back for my next event. P.S. they do private events too! This would be a great birthday idea! Or a corporate event!

My sisters planned a candle making activity for my birthday. We had a party of 5 for a Saturday afternoon.When we arrived, everything was already set up for us. There was even a little "Happy Birthday" sign on the table. We were given the instructions on how to pick a vessel/candle jar + lid and then the oils that would create the scent of our candle. The vessels/candle jars were really pretty and there was a good variety of sizes, shapes, textures, and prices. It was really fun to go through the huge variety of options. It's definitely trial and error. It takes some tinkering to figure out how to get the idea you have to actually smell like that in the end. The staff helped us figure things out when we were stuck or wanting to scrap our creations and start over. Once the scent is done, they bring you the hot wax to pour in and mix. We were also taught proper wick trimming tricks and candle care. The candles have to sit for at least two hours so if you want to pick up same day, you'll need to come earlier and then hang around the area. The shop is tucked behind Hula's Modern Tiki in Old Town Scottsdale so there is no shortage of things to do to keep busy until your candle is done. You can also pick them up within a week. If you don't pick them up, the staff said they get "repurposed". If you are someone sensitive to smells, this might not be the activity for you but if you aren't, it was a very creative and fun thing to do with a group.

This place is absolutely adorable. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The selection of scents and vessels was great! They had items for various price points. The experience was amazing and well worth it!

Nestled in a strip of Old Town Scottsdale, this little shop played host to a client event we held before Christmas. We were allowed to bring in pizza and wine for a complete experience. The staff were so friendly & helpful. I can't wait to see how my candle turned out. You select the candle base and lid, then select your scents. The hard part for me was narrowing it down. I have my next 3 candles designed in my head (15% refills!!). Once you complete your scent blending, they provide you with the wax to add. Staff is there with step by step directions, making it completely stress free. Once you are finished with your candle, it needs 2 hours to set up. Due to the time, we had to return for ours. If you go early enough in the day, you could go grab lunch nearby. All in all this was a great choice for our event. Can't wait to take my beau back with me to create another.

My girlfriends and I were in Scottsdale for a bachelorette trip and our visit to Light + Bark Candle Co. was one of our highlights! We made a reservation online for our group of 11 and had the whole store to ourselves during our session. The two staff members who helped us (I apologize for forgetting their names) were so sweet, patient, and accommodating!I have attended several other candle-making experiences but this store provided one of the best based on their easy process, quality materials, and wide variety of unique scents. Everything was very organized and fairly priced.Once we arrived and were seated, the staff walked us through the steps and we were set loose to pick our candle jars and oils. I appreciated that we were not limited to the number of fragrances we were allowed to choose (I ended up with five!). We were also given cards to write them down for future reference.The overall activity took about 1.5 hours. We returned the following day to pick up the candles once they had cured and each one was packaged in a cute gift bag. Everyone loved their results! They all smelled like elegant, expensive products you would find in a high-end boutique!It has now been a couple of months since our trip but I have yet to burn my candle for fear of using it up. I leave it on my vanity to enjoy the aroma and it is still as fragrant as when we first received them! I highly recommend candle-making, specifically at this store, to anyone searching for a fun, bonding activity for dates and special occasions!

I've had the pleasure to meet Jenny, the owner, at a PR Event and fell in love with her brand. When she told me about her business and the causes they support, I knew I had to support. The location is prime for date night in Old Town Scottsdale and they give you the option to make your own candle on the spot. They have so many different scents while being natural soy candles made out of sustainable materials. They are slightly pricey for a candle BUT it's not just the candle you're paying for, it's their cause and the experience.

Great location near other shopping and dining options.Resident pup made the enviroment all the more inviting.Table was set up for your party and the staff was very polite and informative of the steps to take for making out candles.Very straight foward and easy sysyem. Great conversation and chill enviroment. Would go again.If you bring your previous jar for a refill you get a little discount.They have premade candles as well and some other items like stickers, dish towels, dog toys, etc.Candle still going strong, great throw and long lasting - great price for service, product and experience.

Such a fun date activity for a reasonable price! The lady who helped was so nice and helpful, definitely made the experience more enjoyable. Also there is a large assortment of scents which makes every candle unique

Very cool experience for a mother-daughter trip in Scottsdale. Loved the organization of it all. You pick a jar and lid and then get to try all the scents. We had a lovely time and my adult daughters said it was their favorite part of our trip.
