Private Parties
i
At Noteology, we specialize in fun-filled, personalized and interactive experiences in scent. You bring the wine, we will take care of the rest!
Let's celebrate!
When you have 6 people or more in your group, it's a party! You can choose to have your party with us during our daytime hours or have a completely private party after-hours.
You and your guests will be treated to personalized and private guidance by our expertly trained staff. During your party time, the Custom Studio is reserved for your group only. If your party is after-hours, the entire shop will be closed for your event, so you can enjoy the entire space privately with your guests.
Q: Can we make both perfume and candles at a party?
No, you will need to select one or the other, perfume or candle making.
Q: When do parties happen?
Parties start at 10:30 am, Tuesday through Saturday, and occur during the day for a semi-private party or after-hours for a fully private party. We do not host parties on Sunday or Monday unless the shop is open on those days (from Black Friday to Christmas Eve).
Q: How long do parties take?
Your party time depends on whether it is a kids, teen or adult party.
Kids Perfume Party lasts 1 hour. Add 30 minutes if you are celebrating with cake/cupcakes or desserts.
