What Makes Set & Melt Different
Most workshops start with wax. We start earlier.
Ours starts with the vessel. Each guest makes their own container from scratch, blends a scent, and pours the candle. We come to your home with everything.
Your vessel. Your colors. Your scent.
The shape, the color, the finish, the scent — all chosen and made by you. Over 200,000 combinations. No two candles leave the same.

5 / 5 14 reviews on GoogleIt exceeded all our expectations! We celebrated my friend's bachelorette party with Set & Melt, and it was the perfect activity. Making the candle completely from scratch made the experience even better — there are different design options, and you literally make your own vessel from scratch. Maria treated us wonderfully. We all took home a beautiful keepsake that we made ourselves. Hands down, a 10/10 plan!
My job did a team building event with Set & Melt and it was a great experience! It was really fun to create our own candle and vessel from start to finish. A very unique class to take!
I had so much fun at this candle making experience. We got to make the candle mold and the candle. 10/10 would recommend.
Maria took great care of my group! Very fun experience and would love to do it again. Also, the scents are amazing and you can find your own way of personalizing them!
I was traveling with friends and we booked Set & Melt; they came directly to our hotel. An amazing experience, I 100% recommend it!
Had such a great time doing this candle making workshop with my family. They came right to our home and took care of everything, from setting up to cleaning up afterward. My favorite part was making the vessel that my candle would go in because it made it feel more personal. Such a fun and creative experience.
I really enjoyed this candle workshop at home with my friends and brother! It was a really fun, interactive process that was easy to follow along. Choosing the aromas was my favorite part. Definitely makes a rainy summer in Orlando much more enjoyable.
They came to our house and we made candles as a family experience. Maria was super nice and made the whole experience really fun. Really cool mobile candle making workshop.
Loved my Set & Melt candle! Process was super fun and simple! Had a blast going through the steps with Maria and getting creative with my design. Vase feels so high quality that's hard to believe you made it yourself! I went with a blend of peach and coconut scents that is subtle and I looooove how it smells! The corgis approved too!
Absolutely WOW. This experience completely exceeded my expectations! Not only do you get to create your own candle with your favorite scent, but you also get to design and make your own vase. It's such a unique and creative experience from start to finish. Everything was so fun, beautifully organized, and truly special. I would 1000% recommend this to anyone looking for something different and memorable. I will definitely be back and will absolutely book this for a future event. 100/10. Truly amazing!
Everything was amazing; it was such a fun and interesting experience. I didn't know I could create a candle from scratch — I even made the mold! When it came to choosing the scent, I was really undecided because they have such wonderful fragrances, but the staff was so attentive and helped me every step of the way. I felt like a professional artist when I saw my finished candle.
I had an amazing experience at this workshop learning how to make scented candles from scratch. The atmosphere was so pleasant and relaxing, and the instructors explained each step clearly and patiently. I loved being able to choose my own scents and create a personalized candle. It's definitely an experience I recommend for going with friends, as a couple, or even alone to enjoy something different and creative. I would definitely go again!
I had a Wonderful time at Set & Melt! This workshop is beautiful and cozy. The process of making my own candle was very relaxing, and I loved the unique experience. The staff was very helpful and they have a great variety of scents. My candle smells amazing! Highly recommended if you are looking something creative and different to do, this is the place.
I recently hosted a candle-making class in my home, and it was such a fantastic experience. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The quality of the materials and the final products we created were all top-notch — the candles honestly look and smell like something you would buy in a high-end boutique.
The person behind the workshop
Hi, I'm Maria, and I run every Set & Melt workshop myself, from setting up the table to the last pour. My favorite part is the unmold: everyone goes quiet, peels back the mold, and sees their vessel for the first time, with the colors swirled exactly the way they poured them. Then comes the scent, the wax, the wick, and a table full of candles that couldn't have been made by anyone else.
