Come and see us next week at the beautiful Vale Resort.
We will be amongst over 90 fantastic suppliers set up across Vale Resort & Hensol Castle
This is a HUGE fayre, you'll get massive inspiration, and it will give you the wedding feels without doubt.
But, with the warm and welcoming atmosphere, it will feel intimate and friendly.
You really will get it all here from both venues and all the suppliers!
19th Jan
11am to 4pm
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!
Pleasure to work alongside Rachel, Lewis and the fabulous team at DeCourceys

Firstly we will find out some information about your loved one, your relationship, and what it means to you to release a dove(s)
We write a poem based on the information given, and to reflect the character of your loved one.

At a cemetery, we will be set up near the graveside to await your arrival.
At a Crematorium you have a choice of us being there for your arrival, or just set up ready for the end of the service.
The birdcages and baskets will have fresh flowers of your choice added to them.
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.
You release the doves which fly home to Pontypridd.
We are happy to provide a short edited film for you with our compliments. We must stress though, we are not professional film makers.
We are always happy to answer any questions regarding animal welfare. You can ask us anything.

๐Our service time is 90 minutes. This allows plenty of time for us to set up to greet your guests, and release the doves following your ceremony, whilst ensuring the comfort and well-being of our flock.
๐Once released, the doves will return home.
The only doves we bring along are Rock Doves (white homers) These have an incredible homing ability; they are built for speed and their love of home gives them resilience and stamina.
๐In general, our work is within 30 miles of our lofts. This is a fraction of the 600 miles these birds are capable of doing! The flight home from the majority of our weddings is probably less than they would fly during their daily flights around home.

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 โค๏ธ
