Reservations & Cancellation Policy

We understand that plans change, and we want to make your experience as stress-free as possible.

Our reservation policies are designed to be fair to both our guests and our small business. By reserving your experience, you're helping us prepare materials, reserve seating, and create the best possible visit for everyone.

If you have any questions about your reservation, we're always happy to help.

Reservations for individual guests and small groups can be cancelled or rescheduled up to 24 hours before your scheduled experience.

  • Cancellations made 24 hours or more before your reservation may be rescheduled or refunded according to your payment method.

  • Cancellations made less than 24 hours before your reservation are non-refundable.

  • Guests who do not arrive for their reservation without notice will be considered a no-show, and their reservation fee may be forfeited.

Deposit Policy

  • 7 or more days before your event: Deposit is fully refundable.

  • Less than 7 days before your event: Deposit is non-refundable.

Private events require advance planning, staffing, and preparation, so we appreciate as much notice as possible if your plans change.


Private Studio Rental

Exclusive Private Studio Rentals require a reservation deposit.

Final deposit amounts and cancellation terms will be confirmed during the booking process and included in your rental agreement.

Late Arrivals

Please plan to arrive 10–15 minutes before your reservation so you have time to check in, browse our vessel collection, and settle in before your experience begins.

We offer a 15-minute grace period for late arrivals whenever possible.

If you anticipate arriving later than 15 minutes, please call us as soon as possible. Depending on our schedule, your experience may need to be shortened or rescheduled to avoid impacting other guests.

If Zelie Candle Bar must close due to severe weather, power outages, or another unforeseen emergency, we'll contact you as soon as possible to reschedule your reservation or discuss available options.
