  • NYC Premium Candle Making Experience

    I felt like I wasted my money, melt and pour candles is really easy. I don’t know why but I went home empty of knowledge. P.S. The trainer was really nice, this is not against her or anything, it’s just the course is not really engaging enough.
  • NYC Premium Candle Making Experience

    Marla is a gem!! Her hospitality was amazing and she had the best play list. Although it was a mix of couples and best friends, there was a simple ease and flow throughout the class with Marla leading the way. Definitely recommend!!! She also has other classes that sound fun to try.
  • NYC Premium Candle Making Experience

    It was just me and my bf for the class. Marla was very nice and took her time explaining things to us. She even took out some liquid colors from the back because I really wanted an orange color. She was good at helping with scent mixing and we left happy with everything we made! Thank you!
  • NYC Premium Candle Making Experience

    We loved our class! It was just the two of us and Marla made it a very special day.
