Our Story

Hi Friend! Welcome to Wesley & Wade

 

I am so glad you're here!

My name is Elise, I started this Wesley & Wade with a purpose to make top quality specialty candles that you'll love, while building friendships and community. I love everything about entrepreneurship and thrive to learn and grow with each passing year.

The name Wesley & Wade was inspired by my twin boys Summit Wesley and Maverick Wade. They had a seven week NICU stay at the beginning of life and that life experience taught me about strength, resilience and purpose. It was the hardest thing I had ever gone through. I decided that starting my own company was what I always wanted to do and that there's no time like today to go for your dreams. Six months after their birth, Wesley & Wade, LLC was established.
