Who is Rendezvous Candle Co?

Hi, I'm Anita — a self-confessed candle lover and the maker behind Rendezvous Candle Co. I've always believed a beautifully scented candle can transform a moment, and that passion is poured into every single one I make.

Where are we located?

Rendezvous is based on the beautiful Gold Coast in Queensland. You can shop our full range online, or find us at local markets where you can smell the range in person.

Our mission

To create quality, handmade scented soy candles at an accessible price — using the best ingredients and sourcing from Australian suppliers wherever possible.

Five things you might not know about Rendezvous:

1. Rendezvous launched in December 2020, born from 20 years of being a devoted candle lover. After researching, completing a candle-making course, and falling in love with soy wax, I decided to create the candle I'd always wanted.

2. The name "Rendezvous" came from a love of Paris and everything the word evokes — a natural flow, a sense of meeting, of past travels and future adventures.

3. Every candle is hand-chosen, hand-poured, hand-wicked, hand-trimmed, hand-labelled and hand-packed by me in my little "Factory". If it says Rendezvous, I made it — and I'm proud of that.

4. The company has three employees — one two-legged (my husband, ideas man and number one supporter) and two four-legged scent testers: our beloved adopted greyhounds Roy and Tilley. We also honour our original co-founders Brian and Maddie, who passed in 2022 and 2023 and left a very large hole in our hearts.

5. Our company name — Black and White Hound Enterprises Pty Ltd trading as Rendezvous Candle Co — was inspired by Brian and Maddie and their beautiful black and white coats.

Rendezvous exists because of the incredible support of family and friends who test scents, give honest feedback, and cheer me on every step of the way. Your support means everything. 🖤
