POV is PRESSURE ON THE PLANNER when.... the beautiful bride is your sister in law & the handsome groom is your brother, your Mum is the General Manager, your Dad hosts the chateau wine tours and all three of your siblings have featured in the team in past seasons...

Of course Hayley P delivered the perfect weekend for the wedding of the year in 2023. A total family affair.

The line we love the most comes from Hannah the bride who explained “Adam was giving me a tour of the venue and told me, “This is where we’re going to get married,” and that’s when I knew.⁠”

The right person must be out there somewhere?

We're flexible with the hours, there can be more or less depending on what you need but it's probably 30 hours Monday to Friday through the peak summer season from June to October, and 20 hours Thursday to Monday in the spring and autumn months. Could also be a shorter three or a four day week if that works best for you.

The essential qualities are an eye for detail and the ability to communicate and to manage people. This is hands on at times but more about managing than polishing.

We're a very happy and friendly team who enjoy a great social life together creating a beautiful space which is highly rated by the clients. If you're interested then get in touch, we want someone to start in the next few weeks!

This door holds so many memories for our Rigaud family.

It sparked the idea to count exactly how many brides have stood nervously before it but when I started looking back through the names of past bookings I got lost down a nostalgic rabbit hole, filled with images of dresses, overly excited flower girls, forgotten button holes, buttons that needed moving last minute, tearful fathers of the bride, overheating grooms, lost trousers, you name it, the stories of weddings past came flooding back. I lost the tally when I passed three hundred and fifty Rigaud weddings, which seems like an awful lot! You would think we would be over this confetti lark by now but it seems not.

If you pop over to our Pinterest page you’ll find a board called “2025 Rigaud Wedding Inspo” where our inner over excited flower girl is spotting the trends and pretty things we’ll be working with next year.

I think this door has a fair few more stories to tell ✨

Happy Chefs! This is quite an old photo to be honest. Head Chef John in the middle, remains at the helm but Harry to the right is now in London with

We were very sad to lose him but it ended up being a chef swap. Yotam got Harry but we got who heads up so it’s not all bad.

They might all be looking so happy because this is their stunning vegetable garden where they get to pick much of the fresh produce that they work with every day. Either that or Harry’s just told one of his cheesy jokes! Looks like somethings going on for sure…
