Candlelight Music Series: Intimate Community Concerts

We’re excited to invite select beauty, home goods, lifestyle, wellness, and hospitality brands to participate in a new chapter of the Candlelight Music Series.

This season, Candlelight is moving beyond a single venue and into smaller, more intimate spaces across the community — including private homes, gardens, farms, parks, indoor rooms, courtyards, and other warm, unexpected gathering places.

Each event will feature live music, lovely people, beautiful surroundings, and a relaxed atmosphere designed for connection. These gatherings are intentionally smaller, making them ideal for thoughtful product placement, natural brand visibility, and authentic social media moments.

Dates, locations, talent details announced throughout the season

Candlelight is designed to feel personal, elegant, soulful, and local. Rather than creating a large festival-style environment, these events will offer guests a more curated experience — the kind of setting where people notice the details: the candles, the flowers, the table styling, the scent in the room, the drinks being served, the textures, the beauty products in the powder room, and the small touches that make the evening feel special.

Ideal Product Categories

We are currently exploring product placement partnerships in the following areas:

  • Beauty and skincare products

  • Fragrance, candles, and room sprays

  • Bath and body products

  • Home goods and décor

  • Tabletop items and serving pieces

  • Specialty beverages and mixers

  • Floral, garden, and outdoor lifestyle items

  • Wellness products

  • Hospitality and guest experience products

  • Gift items and branded takeaways

Why Candlelight?

Candlelight offers brands a chance to be seen in a warm, organic setting — not simply displayed on a table, but woven into the guest experience.

Products may appear in:

  • Guest welcome areas

  • Restroom or powder room displays

  • Cocktail/mocktail stations

  • Hospitality tables

  • Outdoor lounge areas

  • Garden seating areas

  • Host gift displays

  • Photo moments

  • VIP or artist hospitality spaces

  • Take-home gift bags or sample cards

Because the events are smaller and more personal, guests are more likely to engage with the environment, ask questions, take photos, share moments online, and remember the brands that helped shape the experience.

Audience

Candlelight gatherings will bring together a thoughtfully curated mix of guests, including:

  • Music lovers

  • Community connectors

  • Creatives

  • Professionals

  • Tastemakers

  • Local leaders

  • Small business owners

  • Arts and culture supporters

  • Couples and friend groups

  • Guests who enjoy intimate, elevated experiences

Attendance will vary by venue, with many events expected to range from approximately 40–100 guests, depending on the space.

Product Placement Benefits

Targeted Exposure
Your product will be placed within a beautiful, authentic setting where guests are already paying attention to atmosphere, style, and experience.

Natural Social Media Visibility
Guests will be encouraged to share photos and videos from the evening. When appropriate, brands may be tagged in event-related content.

Seamless Brand Integration
Products will be incorporated into the look and feel of the event rather than presented as hard advertising.

Community Alignment
Your brand becomes part of a local cultural experience centered on music, gathering, creativity, and connection.

Intimate Guest Engagement
Smaller venues allow guests to notice and interact with products in a more meaningful way.

Product placement opportunities may include:

Single Event Placement
Product integration at one Candlelight event.

Product Supply

The brand will provide an agreed-upon quantity of products for display, use, sampling, or takeaway. Product needs will vary based on venue size, guest count, and placement type.

Unused, unopened products may be returned to the brand upon request after the event, unless otherwise agreed.

Promotion

When appropriate, the Candlelight team may include the brand in:

  • Social media posts or stories

  • Event partner acknowledgments

  • Photo recaps

  • Guest experience content

  • Tagged posts

  • Email or digital event mentions

  • On-site signage or QR cards

Guests may also be encouraged to tag participating brands when sharing photos or videos from the event.

Simple Agreement Terms

This product placement opportunity is intended to be collaborative, flexible, and aligned with the tone of each event.

The brand agrees to provide selected products and the agreed investment amount prior to the event.

The organizers agree to place the products thoughtfully within the event environment and provide agreed-upon acknowledgments or promotional mentions.

Product placement areas will be determined in collaboration with the organizers and may vary based on the venue.

Let’s Create Something Beautiful

Candlelight is becoming a series of intimate musical moments in spaces that feel personal, soulful, and full of community.

We would love to partner with brands that understand the value of atmosphere, hospitality, beauty, and meaningful connection.

If your product belongs in a room full of live music, warm light, lovely people, and unforgettable moments, we’d love to talk.

Warmly,
