Hand-Poured Soy Candles from Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Discover Candles By A Dad, a family-run Tennessee candle company creating 100% soy wax candles, wax melts, and home fragrance by hand in Murfreesboro.

The brand grew from a personal change at home. After Ashley was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, she and her husband Keaton began taking a closer look at the household products they were using. Keaton, already a candle lover, started experimenting with soy wax and fragrance until a home hobby grew into Candles By A Dad. The Murfreesboro Saturday Market identifies Keaton and Ashley as the family behind the business.

Their candles are hand-poured in small batches in Murfreesboro using 100% soy wax, cotton wicks without metal cores, and fragrance blends that may incorporate essential oils depending on the scent. The collection ranges from year-round favorites like Great Smoky Mountains and Homebody to seasonal, Tennessee-inspired, and playful fragrances.

This isn’t anonymous mass-produced home fragrance.

It’s a Tennessee family business making every candle close to home, one small batch at a time.
