| WEDDINGS It's not surprising that cultures around the world have chosen the dove as the symbol for love and fidelity. When doves pick a mate, they remain faithful for life. They even share in the raising of their young.
Like
the symbol itself, our doves are a unique expression of your love as
well as the promises you've made and the hopes you have for your
future.
Releasing
white doves is a memorable alternative to throwing rice, flower petals,
or bird seed. Nothing can compare to the awesome beauty of these
birds in flight.
Neither you
nor your guests will forget the spectacular sight of the
doves ascending skyward, then circling high overhead before returning
home.
We offer stunning all-white Rock Doves for release after your ceremony and lovely pure-white Ringneck Doves for display
at your wedding or reception.

FUNERALS A
white dove released at a funeral or memorial service is the symbolic release of
the spirit of the loved one. It helps the bereaved say good-bye in a meaningful way and creates a gentle memory of the last farewell. For many people, this ritual helps them begin the grieving process. A white-dove release may be given in lieu of flowers.
White-dove
release packages are available for both secular and religious services.
