When you hear the phrase “corporate team-building,” what comes to mind? Trust falls in a conference room? Icebreaker games to get the conversations flowing? A catered lunch that’s forgotten by 3 p.m.?
At Scripted Fragrance, we invite you to ditch the expected and experience something truly memorable: a candle-making workshop in Warwick, New York. Conveniently located just 1 hour from NYC, we’re proud to be a go-to destination for corporate team-building in the Hudson Valley, serving businesses from NYC, New Jersey, and beyond. Hands-on, creative, and designed to help your team unwind, reconnect, and (literally) spark something new.
You have the option of having a private group experience at our Warwick studio or if you have a smaller group, you can opt to reserve group tickets for our public candle-making classes. You may book up to 10 seats in a public class if available.
Why Candle-Making Works for Corporate Team-Building in the Hudson Valley
Let’s face it, sometimes it’s difficult for workplace environments to naturally lend themselves to creativity or connection. That’s where offsite team-building experiences come in. But if you want your team to be excited about the next outing (not just politely nodding), you need something different. Something that inspires, engages, and leaves everyone with lasting memories.
Enter: candle-making.
Our workshops are the perfect blend of instruction, interaction, and fun. They’re inclusive, beginner-friendly, and offer a fresh way to engage your team: no ropes course or trust falls required.
Top Reasons to Choose Candle-Making for Your Corporate Event:
-
Inclusive & approachable: No experience needed. Everyone can participate, regardless of skill level, age, or ability.
-
Encourages creativity & connection: A relaxed, sensory-rich environment inspires conversation, collaboration, and laughs.
-
Structured but personal: Everyone follows the same steps, yet creates their own one-of-a-kind candle.
-
Tangible takeaway: Each participant walks away with two hand-poured candles, including one in a reusable rocks glass.
-
Completely Custom: You can also personalize the experience with a custom jar label featuring your company logo or other meaningful imagery or phrases. Also you will choose something from our 160+ designs to accurately reflect your team.
-
A positive memory: Every time they light their candle, or drink from the glass after, they’ll remember the experience shared with colleagues.
What to Expect at a Hudson Valley Candle-Making Team Event
A typical private corporate candle-making event lasts about 1 to 1.5 hours. Our experienced artisans guide your group through the process of creating two candles. First, each participant will pour a jar candle (outfitted with your custom label) as they learn the steps needed to pour candles. Next, they will use their newly minted skills to create a custom blended fragrance for their second candle: a printed rocks glass chosen from our collection of over 160 unique designs.
You can bring snacks and drinks to enjoy during the session, and once your candles are poured, we offer a 20% discount in our retail store—perfect for a souvenir or gift shopping for loved ones.
Want to turn it into a full day out? You’re in luck! We share a parking lot with Drowned Lands Brewery, a favorite local spot to unwind and toast to a great team experience and we are a short drive to the beloved Bellvale Farms Creamery.
Warwick is surrounded by charming Hudson Valley destinations like Beacon, New Paltz, Goshen, and Sugar Loaf — making it the perfect corporate outing location.
