Our Story
Founded in 2015, Banter & Bliss Candle Co. started as a small workshop where we experimented with different wax blends, scents, and wicks to create beautiful candles and captivating aromas.
Driven by the belief that everyone should experience the joy of creating their own candles, we expanded our offerings to include candlemaking classes and parties. We invited curious minds to step into our world, where they could immerse themselves in the creative process of blending their own custom fragrances and making their own candles. We empowered our students to express their unique style through hand-poured creations that radiate their personality and scent preferences.
Today, Banter & Bliss Candle Co. has grown into a destination for DIYers, candle lovers and seekers of exceptional home fragrance products. Our handcrafted candles, made with premium ingredients (and lots of love!), bring bliss to homes while our workshops provide both the opportunity to learn the art of candlemaking and a fun and creative space for a little lighthearted banter! Hence the name, Banter & Bliss!
Whether you're looking to elevate your personal space, create a captivating ambiance for an event, or embark on a journey of candlemaking discovery, we are here to accompany you every step of the way. Let us ignite your senses, unleash your creativity, and kindle the magic of fragrance in your life.
