Our most requested package: 14 Doves
A pair of doves for the bridal couple to release out of a large white heart basket (or two small heart baskets).
Twelve additional doves, in two large side-release cages, will be released by dove attendants. These birds are released simultaneously from each side of the bride’s and the groom’s bridal party and will join up together in ascending to join the bridal couple's doves, thus representing the union of the two families in celebration of the marriage. $400.00
We do offer additional packages that we are happy to share with you. Please contact us with your date and venue location and we will promptly email you our current packages and pricing for your review. Please understand that your venue location determines how far we must travel to and from the ceremony and even more importantly, how far our trained doves will need to fly from your venue, back to our home loft. The blessing of your marriage symbolically transcends as our doves return happily to their families, just as we hope you always will too.

All booked wedding releases require a $100.00 non-refundable deposit to reserve your specified wedding date. Final payment is due 21 days before the wedding date. Any cancellation or rescheduling will be taken into consideration per the signed contract.
Symbolism:
The doves represent love, joy, passion, purity, and the blessing of the holy spirit on their lifelong journey as mates. Additional doves released also symbolize the joining of the two families through the bond of marriage. The doves are often remembered (and most discussed) portion of the ceremony, next to the bridal couple and their vows, while comprising a much lesser percentage of the overall budget. Beautiful white doves make the perfect statement as a loving gift to the couple and provide the most photogenic moments of their new life journey as a married couple.
