We were privileged to be booked for a 2nd time today by a lovely family from Tonyrefail.
They chose our "at home" service.

Many people gathered, and the sun shone brightly for the gentleman's farewell journey.

A thanks to David L Evans for recommending us initially, a pleasure to see them today again.

Good Morning

Just wanted to clarify our offer of filming your occasions.

Firstly, we are not professional film makers, and although we spend time editing all clips, they are not of professional quality.
If you need a slick and cinematic film, we can recommend a few fantastic videographers!

If you click on "more" above, then videos, you'll see the films we've done.

Our priority will always be our birds and ensuring we provide the best service we can. We do not leave them unattended.

Weddings

We tend to film a few background shots along with a few other bits where time allows, and of course the release of the doves.
We don't encroach on any pro photographer or videographer in attendance.

What we don't do is film the service.

The clips taken are usually then put onto a reel for you, with our compliments.

Funerals & Memorials

We only film and take photos at the request of the next of kin.

There are a couple of things we offer.

1)Just the doves flying off that we can edit onto a short clip

2)the final journey and the doves being released

3)up to the point of committal at a Cemetery plus the 2 options above.

We cannot film the service whether that is indoors such as a Crematorium, funeral home or place of worship, or at the graveside.

We cannot leave our doves unattended.

We edit the film to include your choice of music.

We only do this on request, and it's sent to you privately.
On occasion, we are asked to post on our page so you can share from there.

All filming takes time to edit, it is unlikely you'll get them the next day. Please be patient with us, we need a free couple of hours to do them.

Thank you.

Hope that clears up what we do and why we can't film the service.

Thank you
Lynne

We were booked by a family to provide our doves at their Dads service.
What a beautiful service. The choir was incredible, the church magnificent, but the people, they were all welcoming and helpful.

The village of Grosmont is just beautiful. You wouldnt expect to see a church of this size in a tiny village, but Nicholas was there, looking incredible!

It was a pleasure to meet Mary, the Vicar and the team from Cherished Funerals. Both very welcoming and helpful.
We also worked alongside AP Stage Solutions who filmed the service.

We will forever feel it an honour and a privilege to be chosen for all your family occasions no matter the location or size.
๐Ÿ™ Thank you for your trust.

The end of another busy week and we froze our socks off today especially.
Some days, I wish I had feathers!
They do keep your hands warm when waiting, and there's a lot of waiting in our lives!

This one from Llwyncelyn Cwmbran where it was especially cold.

Liz, these lovely words mean so much to us. Thank you! Likewise, you're one of the best to work alongside, and one you took of our doves at Cardiff Castle is still a firm favourite!

Hope to see you soon ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ

Engagement season done until Feb 14th, it's now time to start planning your wedding.

Having a dove release is possibly way down the list of your plans, a nice to have, a luxury.
..but it's such a special touch.

You can speak with us anytime to find out about us, our flock and the service we provide.
Or you can join us at one of these wonderful wedding fayres.

We are often asked how our birds manage during extreme weather. Do we lock them up? Do we lock them out? Do we have heating or air con in our lofts? The answer is that it's up to them what they do. Regardless of the weather, even in storms, we open the lofts for them. It's their choice. They are intelligent creatures and can make their own choices. They will stay in during high winds, they will also often stay in when it's unbearably hot. They will break ice to take a bath, they will shower in the rain. We don't have heating or air con. We have dry, well maintained lofts that have good airflow. We have confidence in their intelligence. They know when it's safe to go out, they know when it's better to stay in. They are just incredible!

The first time in 6 days, they can fly home for our lovely family.

A beautiful wedding at the gorgeous De Courceys Manor - Cardiff The storm meant the doves needed a lift home, but didn't stop everyones enjoyment of the celebrations. Lovely couple with a real love story as their foundation for a great marriage!

The doves are usually released at the end of the service. We can hand the doves to you, or place in a heart basket for you to open. Whichever you prefer. We read the poem we have written for you.

Our beautiful flock live in semi wild conditions. They are free to come and go everyday (apart from when they are being treated to prevent or cure sickness) They cannot fly once it gets dusky. They are kept in dry, secure lofts overnight and have access to food & water. We don't use food as a reward for coming home, we give them peanuts for a treat. We love our birds. To keep them is a lifestyle, not a job. When they are ready to spread the love at your events, they fly back to their home. Wonderful, intelligent creatures that sadly are underestimated by some humans.

Home to some of our flock. Our beautiful birds fly back here whether it's from a family occasion, event, or just going for a fly around wherever they go to, who knows where they go. As I was driving up toward merthyr earlier, you could see them like a fluffy white cloud flying over Pontypridd. They are wonderful โค๏ธ

Our Story

Established in 2007 and carried out 1000's of events in South Wales, West Wales, Bristol & Gloucestershire. We are the only recommended Dove Release supplier for dozens of wedding venues throughout the area, and have built a reputation for being reliable, trustworthy, professional and friendly. , but mostly because of the care people know we give to our flock. We are also recommended and the first point of contact for most funeral directors throughout SE Wales. We have seen many try to copy our words, our photos, even the way we decorate our cages, we have been undercut and even on a couple of occasions others have told people they are us! - they have come, and gone, but we are still here! We are unique and original and have many returning customers. We run our business with openness, honesty and integrity, and are very proud of our reputation in both the wedding and funeral industries.

The ONLY dove we keep within our business is The Rock Dove which is the same as a White Homing Pigeon. They have a natural homing ability and are the only doves anyone should use for release purposes. We do not release fantails or garden doves, or any other breed of dove, or even display them.
