ABOUT US

About Durham Doves
At Durham Doves, we believe that life's most important moments deserve to be remembered in a meaningful and memorable way.
 
As a family-run business, we combine over 40 years of experience in event management and dove care, helping families, couples, organisations, and communities create beautiful moments of celebration, remembrance, and reflection.
​
From your first enquiry through to the release itself, we are committed to providing a professional, personal, and caring service.
Fully insured and supported by Enhanced DBS-checked staff, you can be confident that your special occasion is in safe and experienced hands.
​
We take great pride in every detail of our presentation. Our beautiful baskets are handcrafted in the United Kingdom by a skilled master craftsman using sustainably sourced English willow from the Somerset Levels, ensuring every release is as elegant as it is memorable.
​
Our Commitment to Ethics & Sustainability
The welfare of our doves and the protection of the environment are at the heart of everything we do.
​
Unlike balloon or lantern releases, which can cause significant harm to wildlife and the natural environment, white dove releases provide a beautiful and environmentally responsible alternative. Having worked alongside environmental and conservation initiatives for more than twenty years, we understand the importance of protecting our wildlife and natural spaces for future generations.
​
Wherever possible, we support local suppliers and businesses, reducing unnecessary transport and supporting our local economy. We also ensure that materials and waste are reused wherever practical, helping to minimise our environmental impact.
​
When you choose Durham Doves, you are choosing a family business built on professionalism, compassion, craftsmanship, and care.
​
Creating meaningful memories, delivered with dignity, integrity, and heart.
