Athenry Candles is a small family run business started in 2016 and based in Athenry, Co Galway.

We started making our product after a fantastic course where we learned soap and candle making and are since delighted to share our passion. We design and make personalised Wedding Unity Candles.

Our Personalised candle is 100% Hand-Finished and Hand-Decorated. We don’t use any stickers or plastic wraps that could peel off after some time. We incorporate all the images and text details into the candle wax, giving the candle smooth satin-like finish.

Our special coating process will ensure your candle lasts a lifetime!

The glass vase we ordered was actually broken on arrival. The courier was a little heavy handed, arrived smashed. Thankfully we opened it to take a look before the wedding.
Anyway, after seeing it broken, we made contact with Athens Candles and sent them pictures. Well, what happened next blew our minds. They apologised, they said they would send another free of charge and would be there within 2 days. We asked if we could have it collected, instead of the risk of the courier breaking it again. No problem. Collected many my parents, perfect product. Couldn't be happier with the the product.

I chose black and white sand to match where it is now displayed. Black is not the best choice with the inscription being black also, that was my colour choice!! But I absolutely love it as an everyday reminder.

The lady also was very helpful as I asked for the date not to be added incase we needed to change again due to coronavirus, she sent it to me separately to use if it goes ahead or said she would sent me an alternative date if needed!
