Enjoy a Sip and Pour Candle Making Experience

One of the best ways to become closer to those around you is by sharing important “first” experiences. A great way to achieve this is by attempting to learn a new skill! Bring your bridal party, private party, or other small group to a NaturalAnnie Essentials Candle Making Sip and Pour event! This hour and a half long event is completely private and is held in the cozy, star lit NaturalAnnie Essentials studio in Bridgeport. You will be able to engage in a unique new activity with your group and indulge in some wine at the same time!

This intimate event is capped at 22 participants, so you can be sure you will have individual attention and privacy during your event. Bring your own sip-able beverage—if you’re 21+-- and enjoy snacks on Annie. The $55 event price includes one 9-ounce candle of your own creation and one wax melt. You also get games, music, and a  20% off candle to use while you wait for your candles to cool!

Ps- You can also subscribe to NaturalAnnie Essentials Candle Of The Month Club, so that you can receive a constant reminder of the good memories of your visit every month, in the form of a new hand-poured scented soy candle.

Dive into Brunch at Grill 2!

You can’t visit Bridgeport without sinking your teeth into some food! Grille 2 serves up a mouthwatering experience with a fusion of Caribbean, Southern American, Asian, Latino, Jerk, Rum, Reggae, and more! This is a brunch activity for your group to pair with any of the above Connecticut outings!

Indulge in Non Stop Belly Laughs at The Stress Factory Club

Before this weekend getaway or trip, you and the gang were probably submerged in your daily routines, where some of you might have had a lot of things to deal with, which sometimes seems monotonous. So on your break from the regular routine circle, why not enjoy something that will lighten and freshen you up before you resume your daily schedule? Grab a spot at The Stress Factory Club, one of Bridgeports most popular attraction. Make the best of your trip while
witnessing the famous saying "laughter is the best therapy" become a reality. This place houses amusing performances by local comedians and prominent personalities like Kevin Nealson, Michael Rapaport, and Arnez J. Good food, good friends, and good entertainment make the perfect recipe for a good time.
