Galentine’s Day is a beloved holiday at Pompy Portraits, a Jacksonville-based photography studio. Each year, we eagerly anticipate celebrating this special day with women who are ready to embrace themselves, make new friendships, and learn something new. This year’s theme was Candles & Cocktails, a perfect blend of creativity and fun!
We hosted this year’s Galentine’s Day event at Wick: A Candle Bar, nestled in the San Marco area of Jacksonville, FL. The team at Wick made this experience unforgettable for our guests. We began the event with a sensory journey, exploring an array of scent options for our custom candles. Each participant received a mini clipboard to jot down their favorite scents, fostering an engaging and interactive environment.
The candle-making process was fun and relaxing. Once each guest selected their top scents and combined them to create personalized candles. While one group was immersed in the art of candle making, the other group engaged in a networking activity, exchanging empowering letters that they would later receive in the mail. This added a heartfelt touch, reinforcing the attendees’ sense of community and support.
A Pompy event isn’t an event without a signature cocktail and yummy treats. So, to complement the night’s activities, we enjoyed delicious cocktails crafted by Sarah from the Unbridled Bar. Known for her exceptional mixology skills, Sarah impressed the ladies with her drink creations. We offered both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options to ensure everyone could partake in the festivities.
At Pompy Portraits, we believe in the power of celebrating women and uplifting each other. Our annual Galentine’s Day event is more than just a gathering; it’s an opportunity for women to dress up, celebrate themselves, and forge lasting friendships. We are grateful to the Wick team for their exceptional hospitality and to Sarah for her delightful cocktails, making this year’s event a memorable one.
