Fun time!

It was fun to play chemist and choose the oils to make a scent unique for my home! I made two, one seasonal with gingerbread and vanilla, the other lemon and almond - a good kitchen scent.

A great way to kick off our family getaway!

We really enjoyed making our own unique scented candles! The staff (2 sisters) were really great about making sure we had lots of fun! Highly recommend!

Fun Experience!

The DIY candle bar was such a fun experience. Christina is a great host and used her expertise to help us create our unique candle fragrances. A bonus was the snow falling outside the window over the water creating a warm, cozy feeling as we created our candles. Thank you.

Amazing!

Quick and easy process to make my own candle! I was a little nervous about picking my own scent combo, but it turned out great

Wonderful Products

My family and I love our Rockport Candle Company candles (Cocktails By the Sea, Mermaid, Front Beach, and my DIY Roses, Rain, and Almond combination). I had a hard time choosing the gifts for my family because the scents and candle names were so much fun. The DIY candle making was a great experience. Christina is lovely and very accommodating.

I’ve been vacationing in Rockport since 1983. I’ve seen a lot of shops come and go. Rockport Candle Company has a wonderful future!

DIY Experience

I was welcomed and enjoyed the experience and conversation. It was fun creating scents for my candles and i am enjoying the e fragrance of one creation thus far. I shopped at RCC because of the sustainable ingredients and essential oils used in their candles as well as the opportunity to make one. I look forward to lighting candle #23! Thanks!

Girls Afternoon

We had a wonderful time at the Rockport Candle Company. The staff were kind and welcoming. It’s a must do for anyone that is interested in learning how to make a candle. My friends and I would certainly go back again.

Candle making

It was so fun and relaxing and very enjoyable to talk with the owner and learn about how candles are made!! Loved seeing everyone and definitely will book again.

Simple, affordable, and fun :)

The owner of the shop was very responsive even before I came in (I tried to book a spot far in advance for my partner's bday and they were able to accommodate that). The experience of making the candles was simple, fun, and reasonably priced. We also found it nice that it was just the two of us.

If there's anything to look out for I'd say prepare to arrive early to find parking in Rockport. And then enjoy the boardwalk and beautiful sights while you wait for your candle to harden! :D
