A display and release of white doves makes an elegant addition to most types of weddings....
Are you planning a theme for your ceremony?
Our doves fit in with any of these:

• Church or chapel wedding (any religion or denomination)
• Formal or Casual Garden wedding
• Beach wedding
• Country wedding
• White wedding
• Heavenly themed wedding
• Some people have a part of their wedding ceremony dedicated
  to special family or friends who have passed away. The dove release represents the spirit of their
  loved ones being with them on their special day.
• "Ann of Green Gables" style wedding
• Backyard wedding
• Animal featured wedding (which could also include
  Horses & Carriage + Butterfly Release
  + the bride and groom's dogs get walked down the aisle with the bridesmaids!!!
  Yes, I really have seen such a ceremony!)

  
  
  At every wedding, our Heavenly Doves release service includes:

  • An attendant to help you release your doves at the most memorable moment.

  • The use of ornamental display cages so that your guests can
    admire the doves before they are released.
    Click here to see photos of the cages.
    We are happy to decorate the cages to suit your wedding theme.

  • Readings and poems about the symbolism of white doves.
    We have a collection of poems/readings that will be emailed to you if you request it.
    Your chosen words can be read out by your celebrant, a family member,
    a friend or your dove-release attendant just before the doves take off into the sky.

  • You receive a personalised wedding card with real white dove feathers as a memento of our white doves
    on your special day.

  • As an optional extra, we can supply dove-themed wedding bubbles click here for more information.
    For a small extra charge (ie. the cost of the bubbles), the doves are placed in a decorated basket
    and we will hand them out to your guests.
    We tell everyone to blow the bubbles while the doves are being released and photos are being taken.

  • The prices listed below are the TOTAL price (including GST), not the price per dove. Also there are no extra fees for travel or parking etc. and there is no time limit to have the doves at the wedding ceremony.

    
    Here are a couple of different options for releasing the white doves at your ceremony.
    
    

    1) Release a Pair of Doves
    The bride and groom each hold a dove. After being released the two doves circle around together and then fly home - a gorgeous symbol of a couple's new life together.
    Price = $195 for 2 doves
    
    
    

    
    
    
    
    2) Bride and Groom + their parents
    The bride and groom release 2 doves, and shortly after 4 doves are released by the parents of the bride and groom (or representatives of each family) to symbolise blessings from each family for the wedding and the joining together of the two families in marriage.
    Price = $290 for up to 6 doves
    
    
    

    3) The Bridal Party Dove Release
    We bring a dove for every person in the bridal party to release for a photo.
    Plus we bring an extra 2 doves for the bride and groom to release by themselves.
    Price = $390 for up to 12 doves
    
    
    

    

    
    
    4) Release a Spectacular Flock of White Doves
    We bring around 20 white doves and liberate them from their boxes at the conclusion of the ceremony. It is optional for the bride and groom to release a dove each as well.The doves will circle around the sky in a big group before making their way home.
    Price = $490 for up to 20 doves
    
    
    

    

    
    
    
    
    5) We can tailor a dove release package to suit your needs. Feel free to contact us for a quote.
    
    
    
    Fantails (also known as "Dancing Doves")
    Fantails are white doves bred especially for their interesting
    peacock-style tail. These doves cannot fly very far, but they are popular at weddings because they wander around and entertain the guests.
    Sometimes they even twirl around on the spot as if they are doing ballet!
    Children absolutely love them, and they will be an interesting
    addition to your photos.
    Price = $50 if you are already releasing any number of doves from the options 1-5 above or $200 if you want the fantails by themselves

    Ornamental Cages

    

    
    
    
    We have a selection of cages available to displaythe regular doves or the fantail doves. Cages can be placed at the entrance to your ceremony to entertain guests as they arrive. Or they could be displayed inside a church or out the front of a garden ceremony.
    
    
    The doves are usually taken out of the cages to be handed to the bride and groom for release at the end of the ceremony.
    
    The wooden boxes are specially designed for comfortably transporting the birds to events. If you don't want ornamental cages, or if you are releasing more than 12 doves, the doves will come straight out of these boxes for hand releasing or flock releasing.

    Any of the following cages are available to use as a cost-free bonus.
    
    Big Metal Cages
    We have matching pairs of these cages that hold around 6 doves or 4 fantails per cage. They are great for displaying the flying doves before we hand them to the bridal party, friends or family to release. Or displaying the fantails before we let them out for people to hold for photos.
    Available in Black or White
    
    
    

    
    
    
    
    
    The Heart-Shaped Boxes
    These are our most popular displays. We also have a matching pair, so you can have them displayed on each side of the ceremony or church doors.
    
    They hold up to 6 doves in each cage. You can choose to hand-release the doves or simply open the cage for a flock release.Each cage sits on an elegant white pedestal.

    Rectangular Cages
    We also have a matching pair of these cages on elegant stands, so they are great if you want to place 2 doves in each outside the church or at the front of a garden ceremony.
    The rectangular cages are a good option if you don't want to hold the doves. You simply lift the lid for the doves to fly out.
    
    
    
    

    

    
    
    The Treasure Box
    This is great idea if you want to surprise everyone. This basket can be placed on a table, and while everyone is wondering what is inside you can lift the lid and up to 10 doves will fly out. Voila!
