The Candle House

I have been to The Candle House for a Yelp event before, but this is the first time I've gone on my own, and it was every bit as great as the event! The staff is absolutely lovely, very helpful, and personable. My friend and I were able to mix some different scents to create our own unique candles, and we are both excited to go back and get them! We each also bought some premade candles, because they just were too good to pass up! It's such a fun way to spend some time with friends and I plan to go back again in the future!

The Candle House offers a super fun activity you can do with friends, an event, a date, with the family, or by yourself! You get to learn a ton about candle making, smell so many amazing scents, and leave with your very own candle with a scent you created yourself.The building is super cute from the inside and out. The white barn-wood looking exterior starts the warm comfy feelings before you even walk in. And then when you enter, it's the sweetest interior ever, with all the candles, oils, and scents taking over your senses.To do the candle making process, you will start with a small sheet/form, and you'll get to go around and smell the little sample candles of each scent they offer (there are a gazillion!) and mark which ones you love best, like a little, or are a no-go for your nose.Even if you jot down fifty different options, the staff are really good at suggesting the ones that seem to go together best (I ended up with Honolulu Sun, Caribbean Teak, and Sparkling Grapefruit, at their suggestion, and they smell amazing and beachy together!)Once your scents are decided, you'll be given the actual bottles of those oils to mix and then add to the hot wax that you'll stir together for a few minutes to incorporate. Then you get to put them into the candle jars, and even give your new candle smell you created a fun name! The wax will have to cure for a while before it's a full blown hardened candle, so you may want to plan to bop out for some shopping or lunch and come back to pick up your candle later. I recommend this to anyone - a fun activity, with some education candle making information, and a neat little product you get to take home at the end of it all!

Going to The Candle House was an amazing and unique experience! It is such a fun and peaceful place to go to! The staff is both kind and helpful. I had the opportunity to pour a candle and selected two different fragrances to make a custom scent! It would be a great girls night, date night, or a family experience to go here. You are able to bring your own food and beverages which is always a plus!

My candle smells AMAZING...like freshly picked flowers ....a place to take your significant other ..bonding, intimate time...to make a candle for that special occasion you share together! I absolutely loved it!

I had the opportunity to go and make a candle with a group and it was so much fun! There are almost an overwhelming amount of scents to choose from so I stuck with a recommended blend and it turned out pretty well. The process is fun to learn and everyone that works there was super helpful and seemed to really enjoy what they were doing. The building is quaint and clean. There is street parking in front of the building. The candles must sit for 1.5-2 hours to be ready for transportation. You are able to leave it and pick up within a week though. They are open three days a week and with my work schedule it's been a little challenging finding a time to pick it up.

Had a birthday party at the Candle House AKSARBEN location in Omaha. The staff was very friendly and accommodating we were allowed to bring food and drinks and also play our own music non explicit of course lol. My friends and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and vibes of the aksarben location. I would highly recommend for a girls night or date night out.

Let me start out by saying that the owner is AMAZING! She is so funny, kind and very welcoming! The Gretna store is in downtown in a cute little historical building that used to be a hotel! Its so perfect and adorable with great smells and lots of light. The candles are the best I've ever burned! My favorite is "coffee shop" and I feel like Im in one every time I light it! I absolutely love the variety of candles and the experience of making my OWN was super fun! Definitely check this place out! Bring a group and your own wine and have a fun night out! She is even renting the space now for special events! Highly recommend!

The scents are amazing. I brought in a special candle that I wanted a new scent in. The candle burned out. Very accommodating. Friendly and very personable.

What a fun evening doing something totally different! I will definitely go back again and again! The staff is wonderful and so accommodating. Great place for a girls night, shower, or just a fun time with friends or family.

This place is amazing! Scents are so unique and fun! Workers were extremely nice and helpful. Needless to say we had a great time, and will be stopping here again!
