Looking for answers about private candle-making workshops in Orlando? Here you’ll find details about pricing, booking, customization, and how the experience works.
🕯️ THE EXPERIENCE
What is Set & Melt?
Set & Melt offers private candle-making workshops in Orlando where guests create their own vessel, blend fragrance, and pour a custom candle.
What do we make during the workshop?
During the experience, each guest creates
a custom handmade candle vessel and pours their own handmade candle. The result is a unique candle designed to look beautiful in any space and serve as a reminder of the moment you created.
Which areas do you cover for private candle workshops in Orlando?
We host private candle workshops across Orlando and surrounding areas, including Oviedo, Winter Park, Baldwin Park, Winter Garden, Lake Nona and Kissimmee. If you're nearby and unsure whether we travel to you, send us your address and we'll confirm.
What makes this different from other candle workshops?
Guests don't just pour wax. You create your own vessel first — choosing the shape and the color — before blending your scent and pouring your candle. It's fully hands-on from start to finish.
What’s included in the experience?
We bring the materials, tools, setup, and clean-up.
Everything for your vessel, natural soy wax, curated fragrance options, and everything needed for each guest to create their own vessel and pour their own candle. You provide a table and seating for your guests.
What do I need to provide?
A table and seating for your guests, plus access to the space. We bring all materials, tools, and setup, and arrive 30 minutes early so your group can walk in and start creating.
How long does a private candle workshop in Orlando last?
The workshop runs about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the group's pace. We arrive early to set up.
Where do you host the experience?
We bring the candle night to your home, hotel or chosen venue in the Orlando area. All you need is table space and your guests.
Do I need candle-making experience?
Not at all. We guide you step-by-step from shaping your vessel to blending scents and pouring your candle.
It’s fun, relaxed, and beginner-friendly.
What do guests take home?
Every guest leaves with a finished candle inside a vessel they made entirely from scratch — ready to display or gift.
🎨 CUSTOMIZATION
Can I choose any color?
You can mix from our curated color palette to create your own shade.
Can I mix scents?
Yes. You can blend fragrances to create something uniquely yours.
Are the vessels reusable?
Yes. Once the candle finishes, you can refill or repurpose your vessel.
What will my vessel feel like?
Solid and matte, with a finish closer to a boutique piece than a craft project. Sturdy enough to live on a shelf for years, and every one comes out a little different depending on how you mix your color.
Are all vessels handmade?
Yes. Every vessel is made by hand, by the guest who takes it home.
🗓️ BOOKING & PAYMENTS
How do I reserve a private workshop?
Select your preferred date, time, and estimated guest count on our booking page. After confirming your event address within our service area, we’ll send a secure payment link to confirm your reservation.
How many guests can join a private candle workshop?
Our workshops are designed for 4 to 12 guests. Four is the minimum to book, and twelve is the maximum so everyone gets hands-on guidance throughout. Have a bigger group? Message us — we'll work it out.
How much does a private candle workshop cost in Orlando?
$55 per guest, with a minimum of 4 guests.
Is payment required at the time of booking?
To hold your date, you only pay for one guest. That payment goes straight toward your total.
When is the remaining balance due?
The rest is due the day of the workshop, by cash or card when we arrive.
What if my guest count changes?
You’ll select your estimated guest count during booking. Final guest count must be confirmed at least 72 hours before your event.
What is your cancellation policy?
The reservation payment becomes non-refundable within 72 hours of your event, since materials are prepared in advance.
Plans change, though — you can move your date once, up to 72 hours before.
🌿 SAFETY
Is the vessel safe to burn a candle in?
Yes. Every vessel is made to hold a burning candle, and we pour the soy wax directly into it during the workshop.
What kind of wax do you use?
We use high-quality natural soy wax.
Are the fragrances safe?
Yes. Our fragrance oils are carefully selected and tested.
Set & Melt is a mobile candle-making workshop based in Orlando, bringing a fully guided, private experience directly to your home.
