We allocate 45 minutes for each class, but some go quicker and others go longer. Most of your time is spent trying out all of the different scents and choosing your vessel - that's the fun part! You're in no rush so take all the time you need.

The candles take about an hour to cool for a mini or 2 - 3 hours for a full size candle, so you can either hang out in the studio and browse our other products, pop out to do some shopping or grab a meal, or come back any day we're open to pick up. No appointment is necessary, just pop in and we'll have your candle bagged up and ready to go! If you need it shipped instead, just ask your host for details and we can arrange shipping for a small fee.

All ages are welcome to sit at the pour table even if not making a candle. Kids under 6 can participate in choosing scents and vessels but we recommend an adult do the actual mixing and pouring. Ages 6 to 12 can typically do everything themselves with adult supervision. For kids' parties we advise having at least one adult for every 3 children.

There is no dress code other than that we recommend closed-toed shoes for safety. Many people choose to dress up for a fun night out, but be aware that oil or wax is involved so be careful with tricky fabrics, jewelry, long hair, etc. We offer aprons for your convenience to protect your clothing - just ask your host.

Absolutely! Our WF studio offers beverages for sale, and both studios are near some great restaurants if you want to stop for a coffee, snack or bottle of wine on your way in. Beer and wine can be consumed responsibly by guests 21+, but be advised you cannot legally take an open container out of the store onto the street.

If you're celebrating something special and want to bring in a cake, decorations or play a special playlist, just contact us and we'll be happy to assist!

Both studios offer a variety of seating options, all of which can accommodate groups of any size. If booking separately just note the name of your group and we'll make sure you are all seated together.

Wake Forest has 4 pour tables, typically grouped as a main pour bar of 3 tables and a semi-private 4th table on the other side of the studio, which can be booked for private groups of up to 8 people. For larger groups, we swap the arrangement and can seat a private party in the main section and any additional guests on the other side.

In Garner we have tables of 4 and 6, as well as a main pour bar that seats 12, so we can work with you to find a layout that meets your needs.

If you would like to rent out the entire studio for a private event, we have an Exclusive Venue package to reserve the full studio by the hour.

YES! We can do wedding favors for as low as $1 per person as well as bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinners, custom bridal party or officiant gifts, unity candles and more! We offer a scent curation experience for the couple to create their own signature scent. We can even do a live pour bar at your reception! Email michelle@thewhitestreetmarket.com for more details

We are working to update our facilities and experience to be welcoming to guests of all ages and abilities. Both studios are handicap accessible including the restrooms. Currently our Garner studio is the more mobility friendly, with dining-height seating and handicapped parking available just outside our front door.

For those with sensory issues, please let us know and we are happy to accommodate where we can by dimming lights or offering a limited number of scents or vessels for those who might find the selection process overwhelming. For those with scent sensitivities or allergies, we use the most allergy-friendly, non-toxic oils and waxes and many customers report that our products don't trigger their sensitivities nearly as much as others on the market.
