What is a white dove release?
In a traditional white dove release at least 12 trained white doves are set free from a white wicker basket on special occasions, such as birthdays, weddings, funerals, memorials, graduations, and other special events. Our trained professional dove handlers release the doves at the end of the wedding or funeral ceremony or a the church steps. The wedding couple may release one or two of the doves. In a funeral, the family members may choose to release some of the doves followed by the rest of the flock. In a birthday celebration, the child may release one or all the doves. In some celebrations, a select group of participants each holds and releases the doves at a given signal.
