At Reverie Candle, we’re all about crafting immersive, one-of-a-kind experiences, and our Candles & Cream Tea event was no exception. Held in collaboration with Grandbies Coffee House in Northampton, this sold-out gathering brought together our Dreamers, our incredible community of attendees and supporters, for a truly indulgent afternoon of candle-making and a highly acclaimed afternoon tea.
But this event wasn’t just about luxury, it was deeply personal.
A Special Homecoming in Northampton
Bringing this experience to my hometown, in a Black-owned café, as a Black-owned business was a moment of pride like no other. Seeing two Black-owned businesses come together to curate something relaxing, creative, and community-driven felt like a full-circle moment. It’s the kind of event my younger self would have loved to see, and creating that space for Northampton was a huge milestone for Reverie Candle.
What made this event even more special was the diversity of our Dreamers, attendees from all walks of life, across different generations and neurodiversities, all coming together to craft and connect. As a founder, you often have a vision of your “ideal” audience, but when your community expands beyond expectations, it’s the most rewarding feeling.
A luxury experience, only the second of many.
Closing the event, I couldn’t help but feel immensely proud of the elevated, luxurious experience we delivered, especially knowing that this was only our second event! The success of Candles & Cream Tea has left me more motivated than ever to keep pushing the boundaries of what candle-making experiences can be.
