This experience is like painting with a twist, but with making candles (or anything scented) instead of painting. Personally I prefer Scent and Sip, because you can take home a nice sized candle between $16-36 that you can enjoy at home (as opposed to taking home another canvas and trying to find a free wall to hang it on). First of all, the entire experience is super fun, relaxing and easy!!! (You're not worried about drawing straight lines and you can enjoy your friends and your byob)
PLACE & AMBIENCE‐ there currently is only one location, located in Landsdale (with future plans for growth). 7 of us came in on a Saturday, early evening in September fo celebrate a friend's birthday- we did public seating, not private. The storefront is located in the middle of Main street, and when you walk into the open space, you'll be greeted with tasteful seasonal decor and the delightful fragrances throughout the store. (The smell is not as overpowering as one might experience at bath and body works). The employees had already set up our seats. Very spacious, not cramped- employees looked eager to help and were very kind and knowledgeable. Bonus+ they have a fantastic bathroom with all the soaps, cream and moisturizers you need AND a changing table and diapers and feminine products available for your use!
PEOPLE- the staff, all of them, were all so personable and knowledgable. The act of choosing the right scents and even naming your new product could be overwhelming but the staff was able to kindly guide us along. For example, I decided to make a candle with 2 scents and the staff was so helpful to offer a 3rd complimentary scent which was perfect! They also helped us to take group photos!
VALUE FOR MONEY- definitely would recommend this. Support small...
Read moreMy friends and I went to Scent and Sip earlier this month. We had a great time and experience it’s what happened AFTER is why I’ll never be giving them my services again. Twenty minutes before leaving, the gentleman that worked there told me he accidentally broke my candle while preparing it but I was able to make a new one. I did and was happy with the results but wasn’t able to take it home with me. I called the following day to see if they’d be able to ship it since I don’t live locally and they’d agreed. A week and a half after speaking to an employee there, I still hadn’t received my package. I contacted the owner on my own terms and explained the situation. She apologized and assured me that I’d immediately get a refund and my “broken” candle as well as the replacement candle would be shipped the following morning first thing. Fast forward to it being two weeks since we’d gone, still no refund, still no candles. I reached out to the owner again making her aware that I haven’t received a refund or my candles, immediately she refunded me and told me she’d be in touch with the post office and get back to me. It’s now been THREE weeks and I’ve yet again reached out to the owner asking about my candles and she’s now blaming it on the post office for “loosing” my package. I contacted the post office and they’d never received a shipment from Scent and Sip,she lied. Needless to say, I will not be bringing her any business again. If your candle breaks, do not plan on having the opportunity to have your replacement shipped out to you. Had I of known that I’d be walking out of there without a product and having my money refunded I would’ve never of went, what...
Read moreRecently had a very negative experience here. Made an appointment for a party of 5 at 6:30pm on a Saturday. Unfortunately traffic made us about 10 minutes late so we called ahead to notify the staff and was assured that as long as we didn’t arrive late by 15 minutes or more, it wouldn’t be a problem. Per our word, we arrived at 6:40 and were “greeted” by a woman (who I presume to be the owner) who immediately said “You’re late.” No “Hi”, no “How are you?”. Extremely rude despite us notifying our tardiness. The appointment itself felt very rushed as employees were clearly trying to get us out before their closing time of 7:30pm. Totally understandable, however we deserve the same experience as anyone else. In addition, other parties were also still there! Multiple times we were reminded that “We’re closing soon.” At one point, to our absolute dismay, the same woman who greeted us stuck her HANDS into the grape bag that WE brought for ourselves and proceeded to help herself. Only bothering to ask “Can I have some?” after her fingers were already in the bag. What a disgrace. Our whole group was paid for and out of the building by 7:30pm. The real kicker was getting pizza at the building across the street afterwards only to see that the other parties inside were allowed to finish their projects comfortably, with the doors not even closing until 7:45pm!!! Guess they had something against us. We will not be returning. Don’t visit unless you want to be made extremely uncomfortable and have your...
