Private Parties and Corporate Events

If you would like to rent our space for a private party, bridal event, or corporate team building session, please contact us at pour@wickacandlebar.com. We will work with you to plan every detail of your event, including setup, jar selection within your budget, and timing. Our team is experienced in hosting celebrations of all kinds, which encourages creating an environment that is fun, interactive, and meaningful for all of your guests or team members.


Expectations

When you and your guests arrive at Wick, you’ll be greeted by one of our friendly and knowledgeable Scent Tenders. They will guide your group through every step of the custom candle making or fragrance product customization process, from selecting scents to mixing oils and designing your personalized labels. Our team is dedicated to ensuring your group has a memorable, relaxing, and creative experience.

Reservations allow guests 60 minutes in-store and the ability to make two (2) products per guest. This allows ample time for scent exploration, blending, and label design. Candles then take at least 90 minutes to cool before they are ready to take home.

While you wait for your candles to set, we encourage you to explore the surrounding area. Whether you’re looking for dinner reservations, drinks, coffee shops, or local boutiques, our Scent Tenders are always happy to provide recommendations. The San Marco neighborhood is filled with historic charm, art galleries, and restaurants, while our Jacksonville Beach location is just steps away from the ocean, surf shops, and beachfront cafes.

If you’d like to pour a candle and take it home with you the same day, please plan to visit the store at three hours before we close. Our hours are:

  • Tuesday – Thursday: 11:00 AM - 7:00 PM

  • Friday – Saturday: 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM

  • Sunday: 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM

If you don’t mind picking up your candle another day, you can stop by anytime during regular business hours. There is no rush to pick up your finished candles — we will hold onto them for you as long as needed.

Pricing

If you are paying for your group, you are welcome to pre-select jars based on your budget. For example, our standard 8 oz. jar is $23, inclusive of the entire Wick experience, which includes scent blending, candle pouring, and personalized label design. Pre-selecting jar options helps your guests choose quickly and ensures you stay within your planned budget for the event.

Overall pricing is dependent on the size and style of jar that you choose. Prices range from $23 to $40, with most options around $28. All prices include the full Wick experience with no additional hidden fees. We offer a wide variety of jar styles and sizes to suit any aesthetic, from minimalist glass to colorful tins.

If your group prefers to create other products instead of custom scented candles, such as room sprays, oils, reed diffusers, or body care products like scrubs, lotions, and hand soaps, pricing will vary depending on the product type and container selected. Our Scent Tenders can provide full pricing details upon arrival or during your booking call.
