As anticipation builds for the WIN New Jersey Garden Party Meetup, we are thrilled to feature one of our standout vendors, Deedee’s Lights, LLC, a charming, home-based, woman- and Latina-owned candle business located on the Jersey Shore.
About DeeDee’s Lights
Founded in 2021 by Deedee (also known as Darlene Montanaro), Deedee’s Lights began in 2020 with a community fundraiser candle called BETTER DAYS, a response to pandemic-related restaurant closures. That initiative ignited a new path, becoming a chandler with a purpose. In April 2020, Deedee began pouring, and on October 1, 2021, Deedee’s Lights, LLC officially launched.
What Sets Deedee’s Lights Apart
All‑natural soy wax from U.S.‑grown beans, blended with phthalate‑free fragrance oils and cotton wicks for a clean, eco‑friendly burn
Small‑batch production, poured by hand with intention for every scent theme and season
A wide array of offerings, seasonal collections, celebration favors, private‑label creations, and wholesale partnerships
The Purpose Behind the Candle
Deedee’s mission is more than scent, it’s about fostering joy, positivity, and connection. She crafts candles meant to celebrate, relax, remember, meditate, heal, and more. Each release carries an intention for the person who lights it. The business also supports other women entrepreneurs, like a recent “Chic Collab” with Mad Pots of Tea, pairing custom-blended teas and candles for multi-sensory enjoyment .
