ABOUT US
Welcome to Chateau De Sainte-Croix, where our passion for weddings and love for the enchanting surroundings of Southwest France come together to create unforgettable moments. We are the Weaver's—Gavin and Tina—and we are thrilled to share our journey with you.
OUR STORY
Our roots are deeply planted in farming, where hard work and dedication have always been a part of our lives. In 2013, as the landscape of farming began to shift, Gavin took a bold step towards diversification. He transformed old farm buildings in the Cotswolds, UK, into two beautiful holiday cottages. During this journey, Gavin met Tina, whose talent for crafting stunning interiors perfectly complemented his vision. Their shared passion blossomed, leading them to tie the knot in 2015 with the very first wedding at the farm.
The following years brought new challenges, especially when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Rather than be discouraged, we saw an opportunity to evolve once again. With Tina’s exceptional eye for design and Gavin’s practical skills, they transformed the old grain barn into a beautiful wedding venue. Together, they quickly established a successful wedding business as soon as restrictions lifted.
The success of this venture inspired us to take a leap of faith. After selling a farm in the UK, we set our sights on the picturesque Chateau De Sainte-Croix. Despite being uninhabited for 28 years, we united our talents to renovate the chateau, restoring it to its former glory within just 18 months. Many said it was an impossible task, but our unwavering commitment and teamwork proved otherwise.
