The Experience
Choose your scent
Start with over 100 fragrance options. Our team keeps up with the latest trends and sources sought-after scents across every family — bright and citrus, clean and fresh, floral and herbal, woodsy and earthy, plus seasonal and one-of-a-kind blends.
Select your vessel
Pick from a wide range of vessels in different sizes and colors.
Blend your fragrances
Add a few drops of each scent at a time and blend until it's exactly right.
Pour your candle
Once your blend and vessel are set, we'll bring out your pitcher of wax and help you pour.
Reserve Your Seat
Pricing starts at $34 and depends on the vessel you choose; it includes the wax and fragrance. Planning a group of 9 or more? Reach us at info@garsnettbeacon.com, message us on Instagram or Facebook, or call 616-287-3444 and we'll help you plan it.
A $10 booking fee holds each seat.
When you arrive for your appointment, that $10 is applied to your candle — so a $34 candle is $24 at checkout. You lose nothing by showing up; the fee simply goes toward the candle you came to make.
There's one $10 booking fee per candle. Feel free to book your whole group in a single reservation — each guest's $10 goes toward their own candle when they arrive. If someone can't make it, their $10 simply can't be applied to a different candle.
It's forfeited if the guest doesn't show, if the reservation is cancelled or rescheduled within 48 hours, or if the guest arrives more than 10 minutes late. If you cancel more than 48 hours ahead, your $10 becomes a credit toward a future pour, good for 12 months; if you reschedule that far ahead, it carries to your new date.
For example: if you book 10 seats and 8 guests arrive, each of the 8 gets their $10 applied to their candle. The 2 unused seats forfeit their $10, and that amount can't be moved to the guests who came.
Great for Groups & Celebrations
Birthday parties, bridal and baby showers, team outings, date nights, girls' nights — our experience is built for a good time together. Larger party? No problem; just call 616-287-3444 or email info@garsnettbeacon.com and we'll help you plan it.
Before You Book
Each session lasts about 30–45 minutes, and we need a little time to reset the space between groups, so please arrive on time. Guests who arrive more than 10 minutes late will need to reschedule and lose their reservation, which forfeits the booking fee for that seat.
Need to change your plans? You can reschedule or cancel yourself using the link in your confirmation email, anytime up to 48 hours before your appointment — no need to call.
After Your Experience
Candles take about 90–120 minutes to set before they're ready to take home. Same-day pickup isn't available during the last two reservation hours of the day. If you can't pick up the same day, you're welcome to come by anytime during open hours within two weeks of your visit — or we can ship your candles for a flat $10 per address.
Questions, Answered
Do I need to make a reservation?
Yes — reservations are required, and each experience runs about 30–45 minutes. Use the booking link to reserve your spot. For groups of 9 or more, call 616-287-3444 and we'll go over the options for larger parties.
Can you host private parties, large groups, or special events?
Absolutely — private parties and special events are some of our favorite bookings. Larger party? No problem, we can accommodate you. Just give us a call at 616-287-3444 or email info@garsnettbeacon.com and we'll help you plan it.
Is there a booking fee?
Yes — a $10 booking fee holds each seat. When you arrive, that $10 is applied to your candle, so it comes right off your total. You're only ever paying toward the candle you came to make.
Is the booking fee refundable or transferable?
It's credited to your candle when you arrive, so you get its full value simply by showing up — it isn't a separate cash refund. There's one $10 fee per candle: you can book for your whole party in a single reservation, and each guest's $10 goes toward their own candle. If a guest doesn't show, their $10 can't be applied to someone else's candle. The fee is forfeited for no-shows and for cancellations or reschedules within 48 hours. Cancel more than 48 hours ahead and your $10 becomes a credit toward a future pour, good for 12 months; reschedule that far ahead and it carries to your new date.
Why do you charge a booking fee?
Because we're appointment-only, every seat we hold is one another guest can't book. The fee keeps our calendar honest — and since it comes straight off your candle at checkout, you get the full value back the moment you arrive.
How long does everything take?
The experience itself is 30–45 minutes. Candles then need 90–120 minutes to set before they're ready to go. Same-day pickup isn't available during the last two reservation hours of the day; if you can't pick up the same day, come by anytime during open hours within two weeks, or we can ship for a flat $10 per address.
Is the experience kid-friendly?
We welcome all ages. We just ask that a parent or guardian supervise children ages 10 and under, and we're always glad to lend a hand.
Can I bring my own vessel?
We're not able to. We provide vessels that have been tested with our wicks for safety, burn quality, and a good, long burn — and our insurance requires it.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
The easiest way is to use the link in your confirmation email — you can reschedule or cancel yourself anytime up to 48 hours before your appointment, no phone call needed. Reschedule and your booking fee carries to the new date; cancel and your $10 becomes a credit toward a future pour, good for 12 months. Changes made within 48 hours, and no-shows, forfeit the fee for that seat. For anything else, reach us at 616-287-3444 or info@garsnettbeacon.com.
