The entire process, including smelling, selecting fragrances and containers, and crafting your product, typically takes between 45 minutes to one hour. However, feel free to take your time—it's entirely up to you! You're welcome to bring your own beverages (BYOB) and enjoy the experience with family and friends.

Candles typically set within 2 hours. We suggest exploring our local bars, restaurants, and shops while you wait. If you'd like to pour a candle and pick it up the same day, please reserve a time at least three hours before closing to ensure adequate cooling time for your candle.

Prices vary based on the vessel you select, with a range of shapes, colors, and sizes available. Individual pouring experiences start at $29.

Absolutely! Children of all ages (1-92!) are welcome to join in the fun of creating their own custom candles. However, children under 10 will need adult supervision throughout the process.

Reservations are recommended for candle pouring sessions. You can easily make a reservation through our website. Walk-ins are also welcome, but please note that there may be a wait depending on the day and time.

Yes! We provide glasses, wine openers, and have a wine fridge on site for your convenience. Feel free to visit our friends at Stowaway Wine Bar to find the perfect wine or beer to bring along to your candle pouring experience.

Our candles typically burn for 40-60 hours, varying based on size. It's recommended not to burn any candle for more than 4 hours at a time. After 4 hours, allow a 2-hour resting period before relighting to prevent overheating and glass shattering.

Candle wicks should be trimmed to ¼’ – ½” between burns for optimal performance. Use a wick trimmer for a precise horizontal cut to achieve the proper length.

Candle wax serves as the fuel in a candle and carries the fragrance oil. At Lorraine's Candles, we exclusively use soy wax, a vegetable wax derived from soybeans. Soy wax is renewable, offering sustainability benefits compared to traditional paraffin wax. It burns cleanly and slowly, providing an average burn time of 40-60 hours for 8 oz – 10 oz candles. Soy wax candles are eco-friendly, renewable, American-grown, sustainable, carbon-neutral, and offer various other sustainable advantages.

Yes! All fragrances at Lorraine’s Candles are “Clean Scents,” meaning they are free from carcinogens, toxins, and other harmful chemicals. Our fragrance oils undergo extensive testing and are rated for performance in soy wax. They are a combination of natural essential oils and synthetic aroma chemicals. Essential oils are extracted from plants, while synthetic aroma chemicals are used when essential oils are not available. Rest assured, Lorraine’s Candles is committed to sourcing the safest, highest quality fragrance line in the industry.

All wicks at Lorraine’s Candles are uniform in size and style, regardless of fragrance selection. We've carefully chosen this wick type to ensure optimal burn and fragrance performance with our wax and fragrances. Our wicks are flat braided cotton wicks with paper threads woven in, designed to provide consistent burning even with higher fragrance loads and softer natural waxes like soy. The reinforced construction ensures a straighter, more stable wick for easier pours and upright positioning in deep melt pools.

Absolutely! Bring your clean, empty Lorraine's vessel to the shop, and you can pour into it again for a $5 discount. We can assist with wick removal. Please ensure the vessel is free of any cracking or damage to ensure a safe burn. Additionally, our vessels make fantastic containers for plants, holders, and various other creative ideas!
