Mix Candle Co

This was a fun group event and the directions were straight forward. You can be creative and the process to select candle scents was fun and easy. You can BYOB but no food. The staff was very helpful with A to Z!

We had a fun date night here recently! There are a ton of scents to smell and find your favorites, and then you work with a mixologist to pick three that would work well together. You get to design a label which is fun and then mix and pour your candle! they had a variety of price points too for the types of candles you can make. We each made one that was about $24 which I thought was reasonable. They also hold them for you for awhile since it takes two hours to solidify. We originally had planned to pick them up later that night but took too long and it got close to their closing time, so we picked them up the next day! It would be easy to go earlier though then grab some dinner to kill the two hours and be able to pick them up the same day. It is encouraged to make a reservation at least 48 hours in advance using their online form just to make sure they have availability!

This was so much fun and a perfect way to make new memories with our family! I called day-of and asked if I needed to make an appointment and they said no, just come in anytime but at least an hour before they close. It takes about 45-minutes to go through this whole experience but I would budget at least an hour, especially if you're making a candle with someone else. I will note that the candles in store don't smell super strong which could be good for people who are sensitive to strong smells. The candle we made also isn't overbearing and you smell it gradually as it burns which is perfect for me! Sarah, our candle mixologist, was amazing and we will remember her as part of our memory and experience! She was so knowledgeable and helped us make the perfect candle. They have different size candle jars ranging from $25-$40. If you choose the smaller 8 oz candle for example, it's $25 and that includes your price of admission so to speak. So for $25, you're making a candle, creating memories with your friends and family, and doing a super fun activity. Super worth it in my opinion and a great gift idea or date night plan. We were having too much fun to take a lot of pictures. I can't wait to go back!

Very fun thing to do in Pittsburgh! Two locations- Lawrenceville & South Side. When you arrive you are able to smell all the different scents and right down your favs. You meet with a "mixologist" who helps you combine 3 flavors to make the perfect candle! Wait two hours and pick up! Such a fun experience.

Made a reservation for 11 here on Saturday. Great time as it wasn't too busy! I loved all the parts of the experience - sniffing the candles, making the label, and mixing the scents. Looked around the shops and grabbed lunch at the many spots on Butler to kill two hours. I did an 8oz candle with the cheapest glass and it was $24 with tax. It felt like a fair price.In terms of accessibility I believe there was a step up into the shop. Also, all the tables are high top that you work at and the candles are on higher shelves. You'd want to call ahead to maybe make special arrangements to sit at a lower table. LGBTQ friendly!

Such an awesome place. Heard about it from a friend a few years ago and making candles here is an annual tradition for me. So many scents to choose from when customizing your candle. Same for jars. Friendly and informative staff. It's a fun activity to do and then grab a bite or drink nearby for the two hours or so the candles need before you can take them home. 10/10 and will keep coming back. The candles last a long time too! So fun to make something unique to you.

I had a good time here. They are BYOB though they do not allow food. They are a little pricey though you are paying for the experience of making your own candle so it's understandable. They have buy 3 get one free. Made 4 of the small size candles and paid $80. We were there for an hour making candles. They take 2 hours to dry though they will hold them for you to come back and pick them up, they hold them for a decent amount of time too.

We had a group of girlfriends go here to celebrate a friends birthday. I feel like it is a great experience to get a group of girlfriends, and have fun making candles. I believe it takes about 45 minutes to an hour to go through the whole experience. It is nice that it's BYOB so we all got to bring a bottle of wine to enjoy while making her candles. The employees are so nice and patient. I wasn't really sure where I was going with all the different smells I had but the one employee really helped me out and my candle ended up smelling so good. Highly recommend this place for a birthday celebration or a girls night.

This was the perfect date night! We went just a few days after Christmas Day choosing the earliest appointment of the day. Submit your appointment request online and they'll confirm which of your preferred days/times you're booked for via email. Upon arrival, you'll take a seat at the bar that has a mini clipboard with a card questionnaire. If it's cooler outside, there's a coat rack available. Have a bag? No problem, there are convenient bag hooks underneath the counter. Wash your hands and you're ready to begin smelling all of the single scent candles along the way. Write your favorites on the card. From coffee to cologne to bourbon to yuzu, the sky's the limit, and you're bound to find something that you enjoy. Then, you will choose a home for your candle. Prices are located by each of the jars. The staff will help you select 2-3 scents that will complement each other. In your spoon, you'll mix, measure and make your perfect concoction! Make a cute label to adorn your jar! After heating your wax, dump it in and mix for a minute! It will take approximately 2 hours for your candle to cool. Go explore Lawrenceville while you're waiting. Arrive back to the shop to pick up your perfectly packaged candle in a cute little gift bag with your original card! We loved this experience and our candles so much, we will definitely be back for more fun!

Candle making here was such a great experience! I've been here with friends and family. The employees are super nice in guiding you through the process and recommending which scents pair well together. It only takes a couple hours for your candle to be ready, and they can keep them in the store for up to a month!
