Had an incredible candle making experience with Fiona in our candle making class during a bachelorette! Would recommend

An Unforgettable Scent-Blending Experience at Sea Love! I can't say enough wonderful things about our scene experience at Sea Love Candle Bar & Boutique! We were lucky to have Fiona as our instructor, and she truly made the class unforgettable. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient as she guided us through the scent-blending process. You start by exploring a whole wall of fragrances (over 100 scents!) and then you get to mix and match to create your own signature scent. Once we found our perfect blends, we poured our candles and made diffusers which was so much fun. Fiona made the whole process feel personal and stress-free. If you're looking for a unique date night, girls' day out, or self-care treat, Sea Love is an absolute must. Ask for Fiona she'll make sure your experience is just as special as ours was! read more

Fiona was amazing, she handled all of questions and was so knowledgeable leading our group of six in a fun experience!

Candle making in Kennebunkport is fancy! Sea Love is modern sheik! Crisp whites, rope accents to tap into location identity and very modern shelving. It's upscale. I have done this candle making process before a year prior in Kansas City. Although Sea Love offered us aprons, high top tables, a personalized candle mixing expert and a nice view of the surrounding little city. The staff member at Sea Love was great! Super nice. Great with my pre-teen girls. Patient and appreciated their humor (even when I may not have.) She trusted them and let them jump in and do their thing. She also answered all my questions and I always have A LOT of questions! The whole process takes about 30-45 minutes. After that it's a few hours for pick up. We left and went for lunch and upon return our candles were ready for transport. The process: Pick your desired jar Choose different scents you like Hold the lids together to see if you think they pair well together *The following staff will walk you through: Mix Place the wick inside Pour Create your label Attach label Both girls walked away with a candle that was all their own and they had a nice time making them! (Even if my 12 year old named her scent something that I am not proud to share.) read more

Fiona was an amazing instructor. I had such a good time, and loved testing all the different fragrances. My partner and I made scents for each other and had such a lovely time exploring the smells together. Highly recommended read more

Great birthday celebration today at Sea Love with daughters and granddaughters making candles. We'll be back soon to make diffusers

Absolutely loved visiting Sea Love today! Three of us walked in today and participated in the on site activity to "pour our own candles." We did not have a reservation. First, you pick the container. There are three options, ranging in size and price. Second, you pick your scents. There are over 100 scents to choose from, and you can add up to three per candle. Personally, I chose a 50/50 blend of "spa day" and "white tea." The result was a light and clean smell for everyday. Third, you work with the store associate to place the wick, pour the wax, and mix the scent in. It takes about two hours to set, so you can shop or dine in the area while you wait, or visit another day (they will hold the candle for you for up to 2 weeks). I would highly recommend for birthdays, bachelorettes, bridal parties, or even just a weekend or rainy day activity. read more

How do we get a virtual Yelp event here? I absolutely love everything about this place. How I found them from all the way in Florida: I attended one of those virtual FB parties for makeup, won a raffle, and a Salt Air wax melt sample from Sea Love was part of my prize. It was love at first smell! I looked them up and saw it was a small family owned business (yay) that uses safe, clean ingredients (double yay and two high fives). I placed an order for three candles and a room spray. I ended up gifting two of the candles and my other is almost gone. I just made an order for three more candles, another of which I'm gifting. They make the perfect gift. I appreciate the candle scents fill the room in a lovely, but not overpowering, way. I appreciate the glass container can be cleaned out and reused. I appreciate the candles are hand poured. I love it all. I've purchased all candles, scent unsmelled and have yet to be disappointed. My top 3 are: 1) Salty Air (it lives up to its name and reminds me of the salty air smell of the beach. If you tend to like the clean linen scents, this one's for you but better). 2) Endless Weekend (a nice, light lemon scent) 3) Low Country (this one is hard to explain. It's very different. I didn't like it at first whiff, but then I found it very calming, relaxing, enjoyable. It reminds me of something, but I haven't figured out what yet). Honorable Mention: Seaside Mimosa (like a bowl of fruity tangerines) read more

This was a great experience! I had such an amazing time at sea love! The atmosphere was great, and the staff were very nice and helpful throughout the whole candle-making process. It was so fun getting to pick out my own scents and creating my own personal candle. Everything was well-organized, and they made it easy even for it being my first time. I went with my cousins but would be great for an outing, birthday, or just because! read more

Amazing selection of scents, and lovely service! Fiona was so nice and friendly! I can't wait to come back and refill my candle! Great price as well, candles last a while and you get $5 off when you come back to refill it! Amazing party idea. read more

Did a candle making class which was so much fun! Got guided instruction by store owner Margaret on the different scents that were available to choose (which was quite numerous) and how to combine scents to see how they would work for your candle. They also had a sheet of possible scent combinations if you needed some inspiration. Margaret was also able to guide us when we gave her some inspiration of the scent direction we were looking for. Once we settled on our scents we picked the glassware to make the candle in before getting to work. It was fun combining the essential oils in whatever ratio we wanted and how the scents Seoul's change depending on how much of each oil we would use. Once we were dialed in on the fragrance we assembled the candles together with the wick, wax, and scents. Small labels were also provided to name our candle and do any sort of drawing for it. When we were finished we had to let the candles set for two+ hours which allowed us time to explore the town and try out one of the many tasty restaurants in town....make sure you factor this in when planning your visit. You can also leave the candles overnight and pick them up in the following days if you are staying overnight in the area. Thought the price we paid was fair for the candle we got to take home, plus the experience of making it. A super fun experience great for ages 9-99. read more

The kindest staff, fun experience, and amazing candles. Love this place and come back every year!

The most wonderful experience! The owner Barry was wicked sweet and made our bachelorette party feel very welcomed! All the scents were amazing it was so hard to choose and even harder choosing a cute holder for your candle! Being able To name your candle was a nice Touch and while you wait for Your candle to settle for two hours is a perfect time To experience kennebunkport which is beyond cute port town! read more

Absolutely love Sea Love! I am a local and take all of my visitors here. Fiona + Becca are absolute stars, and walk you through the process seamlessly. The environment is so warm and caring, and you kind of just want to spend all day there. Make sure to listen, as some people seem to think you can take your candles with you immediately (obviously not, y'all! they need to dry/firm up! just wait two hours and shop around the town!). There is a plethora of scents to choose from. It is great for people of all ages, very easy, fun, and also a great gift! Definitely worth it. read more

We came Across this amazing experience during our honeymoon and Fiona was so great! We highly recommend coming here! read more

I recently went to Sea Love Candles in Kennebunkport after hearing great things from a friend that had gone. To celebrate my mom's birthday, a small group of us went to Sea Love to hand pour our own candles. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the owners, Stacy and Barry who would be helping us navigate through the candle making process. First off, the venue is incredibly intimate and cute. It has a modern shack-like feel with a small bar to do the handmade candles. The rest of the store is filled with remade candles, wick trimmers, etc. Outside of the store is a fireplace with Adirondack chairs to sit on. The whole interior and exterior is inviting and welcoming. Stacy and Barry were exceptionally nice and walked us through the process. We were able to choose from a variety of vessels, smell various scents that we could mix into our own unique scent, and they walked us through the pouring process. Stacy and Barry definitely added to the fun as they got to know all of our personalities. One person in our group was unsure of his scent, and Stacy was happy to help him navigate scent profiles. We let our candles sit for two hours while we explored Kennebunkport, and we came back to fully set candles that we had made. It was an incredibly fun experience, and definitely worth the $35 per person! They even have a candle club that you can be a part of that get's you two candles a month or quarterly for $40! Overall, this is definitely a business to check out. I will definitely be coming back. read more

This is a great place if you're in the Dock Square area of Kennebunkport. It's in the middle of all the shops and has a variety of candle and nautical themed items. There are handbags, bracelets, diffusers, candles and a lot more. The best part, there is a make your own candle bar!! I recommend asking for Kate or Delaney. They were very nice and very helpful and it would be a great place for a group outing or bachelorette party or something to do together as co-workers or just a group of couples. The owner was on sight and very knowledgeable of the products in her store. And if you make a candle, you get 10% off an item in the store! I highly recommend Sea Love in Kennebunkport, Maine!! read more

Had a group of seven for candle making. Called to let them know that we were going to be a minute late. The owners were tossing snide remarks the entire time saying we had to be out by 4. We finished at 3:45 and these bozos were practically shoving our group out the door. They stink as business hosts. I would not recommend this place. read more
