Sea mist makes me feel like I am at the beach, plus another benefit, my 11 year old black lab, Kiowa (graduation picture below) just finished 19 sessions of radiation for a soft tissue sarcoma stage 1 cancer cell in his right leg and I want to keep him and my other dogs around as long as possible so, the clean natural soy is a way to go for me. Thank you Brenda for making such an awesome product. I am on my last candle from my last order, so I will need to stock up again."

Fran wrote: "The 4 candles I purchased were given as Christmas gifts to co-workers and they loved them all!! I enjoyed telling each of them the story of your candles and the different scenes of the CT River that are on their jars. I truly enjoyed talking to you when I had to call in my order. It was my pleasure to support a local business and such a nice person as yourself!!"

A customer wrote: "It is great to work with a company that is concerned with customer satisfaction. I ordered two candles, I have tried the cinnamon stick "Awesome Fragrance", better than others I have tried. I am gifting the Autumn Spice, I cannot wait to hear the reaction. Thanks for taking pride in your products and the fragrance of the candles".

A customer reacts to our Sweet Tobacco Fragrance, "I just tried this scent for the first time and I am in love! It is such a wonderful scent and I definitely will be buying again!! I tried to hold off until December, but once I took the cover off and smelled it I couldn't wait any longer to lite it!"

I was browsing the internet and came across CT River Candles.. I sent an email requesting information about soy candles as wedding favors. Brenda’s response was quick and when speaking to her so professional. I received them yesterday and they are awesome and smell amazing. She designed a label for me and I am so pleased with the outcome. Thank you Brenda for your part in making my special day so memorable.

"Brenda what more could I say you have the best soy candles! I love the new scents and I will be ordering more also I have to order more fall scents you're the best!!" - Mary, CT

Connecticut River Candles are just the best candles around. It’s not always been easy to find excellent quality soy candles, but now here they are, right in my own backyard!!!!! The quality of the candles from their wicks, to being soy to the fragrance oils that are used to scent them is beyond compare! Furthermore, having gotten to know the owner and candlemaker, Brenda, a bit through email correspondence, I can attest to her being an excellent businesswoman and craftsperson. And on top of that, she’s just an amazing person to boot! I’m never ever again buying any other brand of candle!!!!!

"I received my winning Coffee Shop candle. First, we all had to smell it, I mean, me and my four fur kids. My black lab could not stop wagging his tail, that is top notch in his snout! The smell is soothing, a scent not overbearing but calming, coffee yet also various seasonings added a perfect blend that enhances the others, oh smells so good. I feel like curling up on the couch with the hubby, with a fire in the fireplace drinking a delicious cup of this blend. I am one who loves to walk up the coffee aisle at the grocery store, but this smell is by far the best coffee smell I have smelt, and I do love candles. I highly recommend this to everyone. I can't wait until I can burn it tonight. Thank you so much Brenda, this is a great scent" Stephanie, California

"Just picked up our mail in community mail box and candles were there. wife says Very Vanilla mason jar candle smells "very, very good.", Mark, Arizona

"I am finally sharing with you ALL that CT River Candles are the ultimate! You have come a long way with your choice of selection from when you first started...I can remember the first order that was shipped to me, and it was fantastic. From your scents to customer service, you guys are number ONE in my book!" Melissa

"Yesterday I received my Black Friday order. First of all, wow..super fast delivery! Secondly, I'm in LOVE with these candles. The scent is perfection, the burn is super clean, the wick is the greatest quality in a candle wick. I also really like that I asked for some of my candles to be undyed because it gives them a more sophisticated look...plus they can go with any room color scheme and not interfere with it. Even down to the lids...and I got some in black and some in silver...and I actually love the black! The sample scents I received are only going to lead me to buy more. When does my next paycheck come in?!" Daniella

"Hello Brenda,I found your candles on the internet a short while back. When I saw that you were local (I'm from Portland) I almost fell off my chair. Then, when I saw that I could purchase from the Marina here in Portland, I couldn't wait to get to the store. I went with the lavender scent in mind. I've never used soy candles before but I've heard they were special. When I walked into the Marina, the woman there (I think her name was Karen) told me she had just received an order from you. I was allowed to sniff every scent she had. By the time I was finished, I was nearly in tears,I was so excited. I had found my exquisite scented lavender candle. I wanted to have my bedroom have this scent. I haven't lit the candle and my room has a lovely lite aroma of lavender. This is a wonderful scent and I thank you for it. Also, I found your lemongrass scent for my kitchen. It burns almost constantly. At one time, I had purchased a handsoap with this scent and I loved it--now, I can smell it all the time. You have a knack and a special talent and on top of that, your candles are reasonably priced. I will continue to buy your candles instead of going to Massachusetts to buy the popular brand of candle. They can't measure up to your scents. Thank you for sharing your talent with the public.I'm impressed!!!!!!

Sincerely, Elaine Chasse"

"I placed an order for seven of your soy candles on Wednesday the day before Thanksgiving and let me tell you was I ever so surprised when my order arrived here this morning (Friday) That is what I call service. Thank you for the prompt delivery. I'm looking forward to doing more business with you soon"
Karen, Portland Riverside Marina

We applaud Brenda's entrepreneurship and wish her the very best successes in the future - and can't wait to get our hands on the special scent she is making for us in 2011!"
Deb Umba - Project Manager, Higganum Village Farmers' Market

"I love the White Tea and Berries Spa candle! I put just one in my living room and it filled the entire downstairs with a wonderful and long lasting aroma.

"I purchased a CT River Candle as a gift from a store with a limited selection of scents. I was looking for a specific scent, so I called Brenda to see if I could stop by to exchange it. Instead of driving to CT River Candle, Brenda drove the candle with the scent which I was looking for to my house! Now that's customer service!" Corey Smith , Higganum, CT

"I just love CT River Candles and have given them as gifts to friends and family. I tend to purchase the scents around the seasons and find they create a great atmosphere for our home. I find I cannot live without Cranberry Marmalade, Coconut Lime, Banana Nut Bread and Pumpkin Soufflé. My daughters love Clean Cotton and Sunwashed Linen. Several people who have come into our home feel relaxed due to the calming nature of our candles and the scents remain consistent from the first time you light the candle to the end. Love ‘em!"
Linda Shanley

Dear Brenda,

I wanted to let you know I received my order, and to Thank You for your prompt, professional service! I really loved my soy candles. The fragrance of the Blueberry Muffin and the Cranberry Marmalade are just fabulous. The Blueberry is lit and I am sipping on a cup of hot tea......you would think I had muffins in the oven...mmm. It was such a pleasure to do business with you and I can't wait to try your other scents. I am also pleased you are a local business in my home state (I prefer to help the small business owners in Ct). Also, thanks for the free Tart and matches!! You don't get much service with a smile anymore and your business proved there are some still out there :)

Sincerely,

Shelley Zinno
