Indoor Weddings
For safety reasons, the release must occur outside. Traditionally the release promptly follows the ceremony. Our dove handler will wait with the release baskets at a pre-designated location, such as the church steps. Once all your guests have had a chance to assemble, you release the birds into the sky and leave together as husband and wife.
Outdoor Weddings
The possibilities are endless! We can time the release for a dramatic moment or simply let the birds take flight at the end of your ceremony as you take your first steps as husband and wife.
The Release
Doves can be released by hand by the bride and groom, members of the wedding party, or released all at once from a basket for a more dramatic effect.
If You Can Dream It, We Can Do It
We love new ideas and will do everything we can to give your wedding day your own special touch. Tell us what you have in mind and we will do our best to arrange it.
A bridal photo can be taken before the wedding and displayed for guests to see. It adds a very special touch to the symbolism when the bride and groom release the doves after the ceremony.
All wedding packages include two white doves displayed in an ornate cage for the length of the wedding reception.
The Symbolism
White doves are symbolic of peace, fidelity, joy and most importantly...LOVE. Tradition says if a pair of doves is seen on your wedding day, you will have a happy and prosperous marriage. During or immediately following the wedding, the bride and groom release a pair of beautiful snow white doves to the heavens. You, your family, and friends can watch your love and commitment symbolically take flight on the wings of snow white doves.
