From Small Gatherings to Big Celebrations: How Guests Are Hosting at Cork & Candles 

At Cork & Candles, we believe in more than just making candles; we believe in creating space for connection, laughter, and joy. It’s what makes us the place where friends gather. Whether it’s two friends catching up over a bottle of wine or a large party buzzing with laughter, each candle poured marks a shared moment worth celebrating. From Center City to King of Prussia, Ardmore, and University City, Cork & Candles’ Philadelphia scent bars each reflect the character of their local communities while maintaining the brand’s warm, rustic charm inspired by Napa Valley.

Guests love that our BYOB candle-making experience fits any kind of event. It’s intimate enough for date nights, birthdays, or girls’ nights out, but also dynamic enough to host bridal showers, engagement parties, and big milestone celebrations. Got a promotion? Want to celebrate your next big move to another state? No matter the size, every gathering feels special because it’s thoughtfully tailored to each group’s unique needs. 

Intimate Settings for Outings

Couples often tell us they come for something “different” to do together, a hands-on experience that lets them slow down and make something meaningful. Small friend groups love the atmosphere too: soft lighting, great playlists, and the freedom to bring your favorite snacks and drinks. It’s an experience that’s as cozy or as festive as you make it. 

Partial or Full Venue Buyouts

Larger groups, on the other hand, transform the space into a lively celebration. We’ve seen guests bring in themed decorations, dessert tables, even custom playlists to match the mood. Each design choice at Cork & Candles has been thoughtfully made to create an inviting, calm, and luxurious atmosphere, the perfect setting to make memories and capture moments you’ll want to look back on. 

Whether it’s a quiet night for two or a full-on party, Cork & Candles turns every gathering into something memorable.
