Planning a celebration or company outing in Santa Barbara? Host your private event at Candle Bar 111, a unique workshop space in the heart of the Funk Zone. Whether it’s a birthday, bachelorette party, team building activity, or just a creative night out, our private candle making parties offer a one-of-a-kind experience your guests will love.
Private events include a guided, hands-on candle pouring workshop where guests choose from a variety of vessels and fragrance oils to create their own custom candles. We provide everything needed, along with step-by-step instruction from our friendly team to make the process fun, simple, and memorable.
Private events can be booked during regular business hours or after hours, depending on availability. We can seat up to 16 guests for a candle making workshop, and host up to 30 for a reception-style gathering (not a seated workshop). You’re welcome to bring your own food, drinks, and décor to personalize the space.
All private bookings require a minimum of 10 guests or a minimum event spend. Candles take up to 2 hours to cure, and guests can pick them up later that day or return the following business day. We also offer shipping if needed.
Our candle studio is located just steps from some of Santa Barbara’s best wineries, breweries, and shops, making it a perfect stop during a day of exploring or celebrating. Add-ons like custom labels, extended event time, and curated playlists are available options.
If you have something special in mind, let us know. We love collaborating to create events that feel personal and thoughtful.
