Booking A Private Event?

Such a fun and relaxing experience!I

Such a fun and relaxing experience!
I absolutely loved the DIY candle-making class — it was the perfect mix of creativity and chill vibes. The instructor was super friendly and explained everything step by step, so even beginners like me felt confident. There were so many beautiful scents to choose from, and I got to take home a candle that actually looks (and smells!) amazing. I’d highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun activity, whether you’re doing it solo, with friends, or as a date. Can’t wait to come back and make more candles! 🕯️✨

I took my friend as a present for her birthday

I took my friend as a present for her birthday, we had so much fun and love the candles we made, 10/10!

I had the absolute pleasure of booking our girls’ catch-up at this amazing candle-making workshop, and it was such a memorable experience! The space itself has such an intimate, inviting, and comfortable vibe that set the tone perfectly for the day.

What really stood out was how thoughtfully the workshop was organised. We had time to reflect on our purpose and what we wanted our candles to represent, which made the experience so personal and meaningful. Exploring the different scents and experimenting with combinations was not only fun but also surprisingly therapeutic.

The finishing touches were just as special—the labelling and presentation of our candles were beautifully done, making the final product look and feel so professional. And the price per person is honestly such great value for the quality of the experience.

My friends and I truly had the best time. Thank you, Masala Bazaar, for creating such an unforgettable experience—we’ll definitely be back!
