Ceremonial Dove Releases for Weddings, Christenings, Funerals, Anniversaries, Memorial Services, Birthdays, Peace Treaties, All Life Celebrations. Whether you are planning a large ceremony or an intimate one , Doves Away are committed with a white dove release to provide you with the most beautiful visual experience imaginable. A Dove Release at your special occasion will provide memories that will last a lifetime. For centuries the White Dove has been used to symbolize Purity, Holiness, Peace ,Innocence and Fidelity. The release of white doves at weddings can be traced back to Ancient Greek and Roman times. The White Doves that we bring are actually fully trained Homing pigeons from our racing team who will fly straight back home to the safety of "Paloma Blanca" lofts. They are the "Thoroughbreds of the sky". Their welfare is of the utmost priority to us as they are our very special pets. For this reason the doves cannot be released indoors, in heavy rain, fog, wind or up to 2 hours before nightfall. There are many ways in which you can release the birds at your ceremony, You can “hand release” the doves after they are handed to you from an ornate display cage ~ we will show you how to hold them, or you can release them directly from the cage. Together We will work with you to create a personalised release consisting of either a pair of birds or a flock of up to 12., the choice is up to you.
