THE LOCATION

A Refined Studio on Newbury Street

CandleLux runs its private group experiences from a curated Candle Bar on Newbury Street, offering a relaxed, beautifully styled environment for hands-on scent work and finishing touches.

THE PROCESS

Blend, Pour, Personalize

Under the guidance of a CandleLux chandler, guests choose from a curated collection of fragrance and essential oils, blend a signature scent, prepare a vessel, and pour custom soy wax candles before adding finishing touches.

THE OCCASION

Designed for Celebrations and Gatherings

The private format is tailored for bachelorettes, birthdays, team events and other meaningful gatherings—an elevated, memorable hands-on activity for groups.
