Why a White Dove Release?
A White Dove Release is a breathtakingly beautiful sight. It will add excitement to your event and create memories your guests will talk about for years to come. Dove releases are customarily done for weddings, funerals, memorials and other special events such as Grand Openings, Engagements, Graduations, Birthdays and Grand Openings.
Weddings
White doves have long been a symbol of love, fidelity and peace. A professionally coordinated White Dove Release is the perfect and unique way to incorporate this symbolism into your wedding ceremony. Whether you choose two doves, representing the unity of life's journey, or the grandeur of a white flock release, it is sure to be an unforgettable and spectacular addition to your special day. Your guests will not only enjoy it, but it will long be the topic of conversation.
Funerals and Memorials
Many times when a loved one passes, we are left with an empty feeling and an uncertainty of what arrangements to make. A grave side service with a dove release creates a symbolic and peaceful occasion. It can help give closure and and a sense of release...that the spirit has lifted and become free. Customarily, a lone dove, representing the spirit of the deceased, is released at a given time during the service, often accompanied by a Scripture reading. Then three more are released symbolizing the Father, Son and Holy Ghost leading the spirit of the loved one home to heaven. Generally, the birds will circle around a time or two while all join together for the journey home.
About Our Birds
Pure white "Rock Doves" (Homing Pigeons) are used for all humane releases. Unlike domestic doves, homing pigeons possess a natural "homing" instinct. It is this instinct, augmented with extensive training, that allows them to return safely to their loft following a release. Releasing domestic doves, such as those available at pet shops, is an extremely inhumane act. They possess no homing instinct or flying ability to allow self preservation and will quickly starve or fall prey to predators
