Poured Candle Bar should definitely be on your list of things to do when visiting Hudson.
I came with a group of girlfriends for a weekend trip. I wasn't sure what to expect for my first time candle making, but I ended up having such a fun experience overall.
The ambiance is lovely inside and there are plenty of places for groups to sit together as you make your candles. There is a drink menu with lots of options too! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They bring you a paper with all the different scents to add to your candle. They described the process thoroughly on how best to discover what scents to combine. There are shelves full of the individual scents that you can smell as you choose your favorites.
Then comes the candle making process, which you are guided through by one of the staff. They are there to answer your questions and even provide advice on if your scents are a good combination. If you're feeling iffy about the overall product after mixing the scents, you can ask to mix it again.
Not only did we feel taken care of for the candle making process, but the staff was super friendly and conversational with us. I was so excited to take my candle home. The whole process probably took an hour or so? (We took our time). The candles were ready for pickup the next day with directions on best practices.
When I got back to NYC I was eager to burn my new candle. But I was having a lot of issues. It wouldn't stay lit and the wax was pooling around the wick. I reached out to Poured on Facebook. It seems the customer service extended far beyond our day at the shop. They truly went above and beyond. They offered to remake my candle and promptly mailed me a new version. And it works perfectly! I'm over the moon.
If you're on the fence about if this activity is for you, I'd give it a try. If not for the experience, for the lovely folks that own and run this shop. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could!
Absolutely fabulous. We were here off-season on a Monday and had the place to ourselves. From the moment you walk in, you know you're in for a treat. They walked us through the entire process. We didn't feel rushed, and we got to take our time. I loved this place. Combining candlemaking and a bar is perfect. Great for just about any occasion. If you're in Hudson, hit this place up and leave with your own homemade souvenir.
Awesome time with Dennis making candles and talking about life, design, and fragrances. Fun activity for the family and great souvenirs for a weekend away. Highly recommended.
Cannot say enough good things about this place! My husband (then-fiance) and I came here one weekend to make candles (a really fun date on its own), and ended up hiring them to create our wedding favors, custom candles. Dennis was wonderful to work with throughout the whole process, and our guests raved about how good the candles smelled. Definitely stop by if you're ever in Hudson!
LOVED our experience here, even though we had to rush to make sure we caught our train (The candles take a couple hours to cure, but they ship them if you can’t stay that long!). Such a cool and special idea! The owners were super friendly and walked us through the whole process. Would highly recommend for anyone while they’re in Hudson. We enjoyed it so much that we ordered a candle as a gift for someone. Can’t wait to return!
