WELCOME TO
Our Story
Hi there, friend! I’m Kenna, and I’m so glad you’re here! This is my husband Doug, my business partner and best friend! Together, we are the owners and heart of Smith and Company Candles and we’ve been on an incredible journey that started with my family's small business in 2005 and grew into the dream we’re living today.
What started as a side hustle to keep my family business going, blossomed into something so much bigger, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Since Doug and I took over the business in 2019, we’ve moved from working out of our basement to a warehouse full of incredible team members who help make our candle dreams a reality. Each and every one of us is dedicated to bringing you products that are not just beautiful, but meaningful.
OUR MISSION
Thoughtfully Crafted, Heartfelt Moments
At Smith and Company Candles, our mission is simple: We want to create candles that fill your space with the scents of comfort, joy, and connection. Whether it’s a quiet evening at home, a celebration with friends, or a peaceful moment of reflection, we believe the right scent can make those memories even more special.
All of our candles and wax melts are handmade in Chippewa Falls, WI, using 100% soy wax. We’re proud to offer products that are non-toxic, cruelty-free, and vegan-friendly. We hand-pour each candle in small batches, taking the time and care to ensure that every single one is crafted with the highest quality materials and lots of love.
OUR WHY
Why We Do What We Do
So, why candles? To us, it’s all about the memories that scents help create. Scents are deeply tied to memory, and when you light one of our candles, we want it to take you back to those moments that matter—the laughter shared with friends, the calm of an evening at home, the nostalgia of a favorite place or time.
We’re passionate about creating products that help you build those moments, bringing warmth, light, and a little extra joy into your life. Whether you’re unwinding with a good book or celebrating with loved ones, we want to be a part of those beautiful experiences.
OUR TEAM
Small but Mighty
What we may lack in size, we more than make up for in heart. Our team is small but mighty—each person plays a crucial role in making sure every candle we create is perfect and ready to be part of your home. From pouring the wax to packing each order with care, we’re proud to be a tight-knit group working together toward a common goal: creating candles that make a difference in your life.
We’ve built something special here at Smith and Company Candles, and every day we’re driven by our passion to keep creating and sharing what we love.
THE FUTURE
More Memories to Create
As we continue to grow, our mission remains the same: to make products that help you make memories. We’re excited about the future and the new ways we can continue to serve you—whether that’s with new scents, innovative products, or simply by offering more of what you love.
Thank you for supporting Smith and Company Candles and being a part of our story. We’re so glad you’re here, and we can’t wait to be a part of the memories you’re creating.
