What to Expect
Create Your Own Candle: You’ll get all the materials to make a natural, soy-based candle in a crystal vessel. You pick from six pure essential oil scents — no synthetic fragrances or paraffin — and decorate with dried flowers for a personal touch. Eventbrite
Relaxing Guided Experience: A friendly instructor leads you through candle making, from measuring soy wax to positioning the wick. Eventbrite
Italian Restaurant Vibes: While your candle sets, you’ll stay in Mille’s elegant dining room. You can order your own dinner (it’s separate), with a cozy, warm ambiance encouraging genuine conversation. Eventbrite
Connection & Community: This is designed for more than crafting — it's a chance to meet inspiring people, relax, and have meaningful conversations. Eventbrite

Dress Code & Vibe
Think “elegant-casual” — cozy but polished. It’s not a formal gala, but it’s also not a yoga night. Think relaxed, creative, and refined. Eventbrite
Photography happens (optional), so you might want a nice outfit to match. Eventbrite
Why You Should Go
A Creative Pause: It’s a chance to unplug and do something hands-on in a calm, beautifully styled environment.
Make Something Sentimental: You walk away with a custom candle you made yourself — something to keep or give.
Dinner with a Twist: Pair your craft with conversation and a meal, all in a warm, intimate space.
Meet Like-Minded People: Perfect for connecting with friends, or meeting new people who appreciate creativity and meaningful experiences.
Tips to Make the Evening Great
Arrive a little early (5:00 PM) so you can get settled, pick your spot, and order dinner. Eventbrite
Since seating is limited, book ahead — the 16-guest cap means it sells out. Eventbrite
Give yourself space in your schedule — the 2 to 2.5-hour window lets you fully relax and enjoy without rushing.
Use the time to connect: leave your phone (mostly) off, and lean in to conversations.
