FAQs

  • We provide white doves for release as far south as Tacoma and as far north as Lynnwood. We do have mileage rates for venues beyond our standard service area. Please see our service area map for more details.

  • We’ll ask you several questions to determine whether we’re a fit. Once we understand what you’d like at your service, we’ll book the day and time. At this point, we require a 50% down payment. The rest of the service fee will be collected on the day of the service.

  • Yes! As soon as it gets dark, they can’t find their way safely. We pay close attention to sunrise and sunset. The doves can safely be released as late as 8:30 PM in June and must be released before 3:30 PM in December. Contact us for more information

  • Our birds can’t fly in extreme weather conditions. We keep a close eye on the weather, but we can’t predict every scenario. We reserve the right to an “Act of God” cancellation in the event of extreme weather and will provide a full refund in this instance.

    If you cancel more than 30 days in advance of the event, you may receive a full refund. If you cancel less than 30 days before your event, you will lose your deposit.

  • We are supportive of all orientations, religions, traditions, and ceremonies. As long as nothing illegal is happening and you are in our service area, we’re happy to help.

  • We can’t guarantee zero accidents, but they rarely defecate when flying and are fed a special diet before the event.

  • Typically, they fly home. However, if there are birds of prey in the immediate area, they may find the closest tree to hide in. We scope out the location before the service and will communicate any concerns.

The geographic area we serve

Our birds can only fly so far reliably, and they must be released during daylight to ensure their safety. Please inquire about service hours as they are seasonal.

Honor. Service. Empathy. Respect.

These are the values we live by at White Dove Release.

Let’s work together.
