The Founders Story

Why our maker makes.

Mélodie Falardeau is the founder and maker of Wakefield Candle Co. (WCC).

She is passionate about making candles and loves the region where she lives. Her first four candles are just the beginning of what she has planned at Wakefield Candle Co.

The website will be updated from time to time depending on her vibe. It will be a collection of all the things that make Wakefield such a special place in her heart.

During her time at her other company, Ambiance Botanique by Melo, she acquired a wealth of knowledge about candle making. The company has evolved into a holistic and therapeutic enterprise that offers 100% natural remedies that are hand-crafted with great care and attention to detail but are made with the highest quality standards. It is likely that we will see more healing offerings emerging as her studies in naturopathy continue.

Wakefield, enjoy these candles, they are meant for you, and in a variety of ways, they are meant to be a contribution from you, and from those that came before you to this beautiful village.

About Wakefield Candle Co.

In the middle of working on other projects, Melo suddenly had an aha moment on how to share Wakefield with everybody. And as a result, the Wakefield Candle Co. was born.

We believe everyone should have access to products that are 100% unique, high quality, and sustainable. In Melo's opinion, Wakefield offers a great deal to others and has for decades. As a result, she created candles out of her love of candle making and appreciation of the village of Wakefield.

Each Wakefield Candle will be made with 100% soy wax, the finest wooden wicks, and all of our custom scents are inspired and blended with this little village in mind. We will hand-pour all of our products in small batches using premium glass jars then label them with original artwork inspired by our beautiful village. Our candles are made with love and care to be shared with you and others. As we burn candles, we carry a message from the past and present of Wakefield.

Think of these candles as an experience or an adventure waiting for you. If you have any stories you've experienced yourself, please reach out. We look forward to hearing of your Wakefield stories too.
