It is with broken hearts that we share the devastating news that our beautiful Mum has suddenly passed away. There are simply no words to describe the loss we feel.
Mum wasn't just part of Château du Doux—she was its heart and soul. She poured so much love into this place, into our family, and into every couple and guest who walked through our doors. She had a remarkable gift for making everyone feel welcome, cared for and at home, and her kindness and selfless personality touched so many lives.
Right now, we are just a family grieving the loss of a beautiful woman. We ask for your patience and understanding as we navigate the days ahead. There may be delays in replying to messages while we take the time to honour Mum and be together.
To everyone who has loved, supported and shared kind words with us already, thank you. Your compassion is carrying us through the darkest days.
Mum loved Château du Doux, and everything it is today is because of her. We hope to honour her legacy by continuing what she built with the same love, warmth and care she gave so freely.
We would also like to reassure all of our couples and guests that all upcoming weddings and events will continue as planned. We are incredibly fortunate to have the most amazing team around us, whose love, support and dedication are helping us through this difficult time. We know Mum would have wanted Château du Doux to remain full of love and celebration, and together we will ensure every event is as special as she would have wished.
For anyone who would like to join us in celebrating Mum's life, a celebration will be held at 10:00am on Tuesday 11th August at Château du Doux. Everyone is welcome.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your kindness, understanding and support.
With love,
Clive, Abbie, Ross & Alex
