Our Story

The Wick and Wine Experience was born from a season of transition — a moment when life forced me to pause, breathe, and rebuild. What started as my own ritual for peace quickly turned into a space where other people could find the same calm, creativity, and connection.

I’m Alicia Brown, the founder and chandler behind this experience. After years in advertising and event management, I realized how many people move through life overwhelmed, disconnected, and running on fumes. Candles became my way of slowing down and finding myself again. Now I’m creating that same moment for you.

This isn’t just a candle-making class.

It’s an intentional space to rest, reconnect, and enjoy yourself — whether you’re joining us with friends, coworkers, your partner, or walking in solo to meet new people.

We blend luxury candle-making, curated scents, good music, and a warm atmosphere to create experiences that feel personal, memorable, and a little magical. From corporate wellness workshops to couples sessions, private events, pop-ups, and our signature “Love Pour” and “Candles with Strangers,” everything we do centers on three pillars:

Creativity

You’re hands-on, mixing scents, choosing vessels, and crafting something that reflects you.

Connection

With yourself. With others. With the moment you’re in. Every event is designed to start genuine conversation and spark community.

 

Calm

Life is loud. We offer you a place to breathe.

We proudly serve Chicago and the South Suburbs with our mobile candle bar and customized experiences — and we’re growing into new cities, partnerships, and activation opportunities.

Whether you’re booking for a corporate team, planning a girls’ night, celebrating a milestone, or just craving something new, The Wick and Wine Experience is here to help you slow down… and light something beautiful.

Life is short. Pour into what matters.
