Stacy & Barry Miller

Sea Love Founders

Stacy and Barry are a husband-and-wife team who love making & creating and adore the lifestyle of coastal living. When not making candles with our crew, they love spending time with theirgrandsons, Cruz and Henry, walking the beaches with their two fur babies, Chewbacca & Cleo, and exploring beautiful coastal towns in New England.

Stacy started making candles in her basement in 2017 because Barry has asthma. After learning most common candles on the market are filled with toxic paraffin wax bases, she started experimenting with natural waxes. After a year of making candles as a craft for herself and her friends, paired with feeling that her career path was not meeting her desire to help people, Stacy came up with the idea of Sea Love; a company that blended her loves (the sea and clean burning candles!), with a passion to help promote living a healthier lifestyle and giving back with environmental consciousness.

They are now entrepreneurs who work side by side together and have turned a passion project into a life they love -- and they would love to welcome you into the Sea Love family!

I always felt I had a creative side that I was trying to find an outlet for. In my spare time I would paint, sculpt, bake and even try to invent. I believe all that led me to the idea of wanting to own a candle bar. I brought my sister Jennifer in with me and we fell in love with Sea Love’s concept of making lasting creative memories with family and friends. In an environment that is so inviting and relaxing.

When the opportunity to open a Sea Love Candle Bar and Boutique with my sister presented itself, it was an easy decision to make. I love family, the ocean, and wonderful smelling candles! I am excited to work side-by-side with my sister with a brand that I am so passionate about. It truly is a special and rewarding experience being apart of the Sea Love team.

Stacy, Barry, Lorraine and the rest of the Sea Love team were so welcoming, and made the process of building out and launching my location smooth and easy. Starting your own business is never easy and requires a lot of trial and error. What is nice about buying a franchise such as Sea Love is that many tools and processes are given to you so you do not have to reinvent the wheel. Opening a Sea Love franchise has been a great business decision that we have made for ourselves.

When speaking with Barry, Stacy and the Sea
Love team, you really get the idea that what they have created is like a family. They are always there to help, support and answer any questions you may have. They truly want you to succeed. We also LOVED the idea that the candles are clean. Sea Love is about health but it also offers beauty and a cozy, loving home sanctuary.
