I had the opportunity to have my birthday party at Moonshot Studio and I had a blast with my friends! The owner, Teresa, was a wonderful host along with her staff. I reserved a scent bar along with the backroom and everyone was so accommodating! All of my friends stated what a great time they had, and how much they loved their candles and room sprays. Everyone’s scent was so unique and it was a souvenir they could take home that reminded them of a great event. I personally will be a regular customer at Moonshot Studio. :)So, if you’re looking for a place to host your birthday this year or even a get-together with friends I highly recommend this studio!

Teresa patiently and thoughtfully helped me plan the perfect holiday activity for my team of 16 people. We all had so much fun learning about her business, candle making in general, and making our personalized candles with over 80 unique scents to blend. Definitely would do this again and will be recommending to others too. Many thanks, Teresa!

I have had multiple excellent experiences at Moonshot Studio with Teresa and her staff. Such a charming space with SO MANY scents. I've learned a lot about which scents appeal to me and created a few different candles. Every time I stop in, I'm always welcomed like a friend. I'm holding a team event here for the holidays, and I know it will be warm and thoughtful, plus all the attendees will have a custom item to take home.

Did a team-building event here, and it was fantastic! We blended scents and made candles, and Teresa's instructions and explanations were pitch-perfect. Despite the fact that it was my first time doing any of these activities, I felt fully confident in what I was doing every step of the way. She's clearly passionate about candles and her enthusiasm is contagious. Top experience all around.

Came here for a pre birthday activity with a friend! It's cool that you can just walk in a do it and don't have to come at specific start times like a class would have. My friend and I came in at 6pm and they closed at 7pm. It takes about 45mins - 1 hr to complete the activity. The lady who helped us gave us a lot of great pointers on how to select our scents and she was very knowledgeable. I selected mango, grapefruit and verbena. Cant wait to pick up the candle when it's done.Storefront is super cute and it's clean and organized inside. They support a local SF artist who makes some of the vases.

The shop is very cute and the staff was lovely! My friend's and I went for a birthday celebration and really enjoyed it! There's a lot of different scents to choose from! The staff can also offer guidance if you aren't sure about the combination.After you finish, you have to come back after 1-2hrs to pick up your candle (for the other items you can take them home right away). Fortunately, there's a lot of cute places close by to pass time (restaurants, cafes, bakeries, bookstores, etc.)TLDR:It was a wonderful experience and I can't wait to come back!! Super fun activity to do with others!!

A great place for a date! A studio where you can make your own candles/body sprays/diffusers. They have over 80 scents to choose from and you can decide which container you'd like for your candle depending on the size and shape. I made a candle and had a tough time deciding which scents to use! My nose was tired by the time I smelled 50 scents. The scents range from the simple everyday ones like eucalyptus to very different ones like baked bread and dad's den. The process is simple and you can use as many scents as you like. Would personally not recommend more than 3-5 scents if you really want to be able to smell each one and savour it. Studio representatives and the owner are very sweet, fun, and will happily guide you through the process, along with providing recommendations for combinations. The candle has to be cured after it is made, which can take anywhere between 1.5 to 3 hours (depending on the size) and it can be burned 48 hours after it was made. One can also just buy a ready made candle, but those have only one scent as opposed to have different scents blended together. They also have a discounted section for candles that are less than perfect.Prices differ depending on the size of the candle and it includes studio time, cost of materials, and the curing. You get the experience of making a candle to your taste and enjoying the process without having to spend an obscene amount - a good deal and great people!

OMG, everyone who loves fragrances, a great peaceful place and thee best beautiful people to hang with for a few hours, THIS IS IT!Starting Before we got there Teresa pulled out the stops to make sure we were all set to go, EVEN ON MOTHERS DAY, go figure! We were a party of 6, place settings already placed. I doodled my guests name on the placemats for some fun...We had 4 birthdays as well.

It was the best day ever...We will be back again...Teresa, from your fellow business owner, I SEE You, and We Appreciate you‼️Jazz Lee & GuestsJazz & Co. SalonVallejo, CA

Moonshot Studio offers such a fun candle making experience (they have a few other items that you can make). With over 80 different scents to choose from this experience definitely seemed a little overwhelming to start. Teresa and her team did a wonderful job walking me through planning an event with them, and walking my friends and I through making our very own candles. The entire process is so thoughtful and informative. One of my favorites touches was that after you finishing blending your scents and mixing your candle, they take a swatch of fabric and cover it with your scent blend. It was so cool to have a little something to take with us as we waited for our candles to harden. Their event space is welcoming, has a very clean restroom, and plenty of space to set up food/drinks. This would make a really great team building activity or even birthday party! Very excited to come back soon!

My friend and I took the day off work to explore the city when we opted for a craft day. I saw this place on The Nudge and had to add this to the stop. Since it was a late afternoon during the week there weren't anyone else in the shop, which was fine by me! This was the second time I've made a candle from scratch, but I will say it was an even better experience than my first try at a different place in Texas. The place is gorgeous, very clean and chic. The owner was our guide through the process, she was so friendly and so helpful! They have amazing scent options, the selection of containers was a bit limited to me, but I still found something I liked. Would definitely recommend checking this place out!Experience 10/10

I was pretty horrified by the treatment I got here. As soon as I arrived, the owner started complaining that she didn't want to let us in because she wanted to go home by 6:30 and only accepted customers by 6 (we were there 6pm sharp). She never directly addressed me and instead complained to her staff member in front of me (and later pulled her aside to complain about me again which I thought was pretty unprofessional).The only reason I can think of her obviously rude and hostile treatment is that I'm obviously a person of color visiting a rather gentrified and wealthy area. I was very saddened to hear that she is usually nice to her customers but felt the need to pick on me in particular. I know this review won't make much of a difference, but if this convinces anyone to rethink coming here I'd sleep better at night. It's sad there are still people like this in the world.
