Before I started this journey, I worked as a marketing manager, graphic designer, and social media strategist for small businesses across the country.
While I loved helping businesses grow, by 2020 I found myself completely burnt out.
Like many of us during that time, I spent long hours in a dark room, staring at my computer, solving endless marketing problems. It felt like I had lost the spark that once fueled my creativity.
I needed a way to reignite that spark—to bring some light, both literally and emotionally, back into my life. That’s when I stumbled into candle-making.
It started at my kitchen counter, where I experimented with wax, scents, and blends. I found immense joy in creating something beautiful with my hands.
As I made more candles, it became more than just a hobby—it was therapy.
The simple act of crafting candles brought a sense of peace, fulfillment, and creativity that I hadn’t felt in years.
I realized how much this process helped me unplug, find joy, and reconnect with myself, and I knew I had to share that experience with others. And that’s how Candle N Counter was born.
Today, Candle N Counter brings that same creative, hands-on joy to all types of events—from intimate bachelorette parties to grand wedding celebrations. We provide everything you need, from eco-friendly, non-toxic materials to personalized guidance, so your guests can create something truly special.
It’s not just about making candles—it’s about creating memories, sharing laughs, and leaving with something meaningful. Candle N Counter isn’t just a party, it’s an experience that lights up any room—just like it did for me.
Nice To Meet You!
