Don’t you… forget about this one. 😉

THE BREAKFAST CLUB Movie Night is coming August 22nd!

Make a candle, settle in for a classic, and spend the night doing something a little more fun than scrolling through streaming apps for 45 minutes trying to decide what to watch.

Bring a date, your friends, your family, or whoever appreciates a good throwback movie night.

Our movie nights are some of our most popular events and spots are limited — so this is your sign to get those tickets BEFORE the “sold out” post.

August 22nd. Be there.

Your holiday office party does NOT have to be another awkward dinner. Just saying. 👀

Holiday party booking is officially on our radar, and this year you have TWO ways to celebrate with us:

Come to Romney Brown for a candle making experience with your team…

OR WE’LL COME TO YOU.

Yep. We now offer offsite candle making, so your office, workplace, event space or holiday gathering can become the candle bar.

It’s interactive, beginner-friendly, easy for groups and gives everyone something to take home besides another company-branded pen.

Holiday dates will go quickly, especially for after-work events. Start planning now and get your preferred date on the calendar!

Proof that birthdays are way more fun when everyone gets to make something. 🎂

We had the BEST time celebrating this crew last weekend with candle making, lots of laughs, and a birthday memory that beats sitting around another restaurant table.

And yes, we host parties for all kinds of groups! Birthdays, family get-togethers, coworkers, celebrations, friend groups… bring your people and we’ll help make it easy.

Our candle making experience is beginner-friendly, fun for all ages, and everyone leaves with something they actually made themselves.

Planning a party? Get on our calendar early — weekends can fill up fast!

Warning: choosing your vessel may be the hardest part.

Classic. Colorful. Iridescent. Matte. Metallic.

Our Libbey Tumblers have become a guest favorite for a reason. Pair your favorite vessel with a custom fragrance, and you'll leave with a candle that's made exactly the way you want it.

The best part? Once it's empty, bring it back for a refill and create a brand-new scent all over again.

This might be the prettiest candle you'll ever make.

Meet the Ory Jar.

With its rich emerald finish, gold lid, and oversized design, this vessel was made to stand out. Create your own custom fragrance, pour it yourself, and leave with a statement piece that's as beautiful as it is functional.

And here's the best part... when you've finally burned through every last drop, bring it back and refill it for just $20. Same gorgeous jar. Brand-new scent.

Luxury doesn't have to be complicated or expensive —it just has to smell amazing.

Walk-ins are always welcome, but our specialty vessels don't always stay in stock, so don't wait too long to grab your favorite.
