We at White Dove Release of Virginia reserve the right to cancel the release at any time for the well being of our birds. This includes any acts of God such as thunderstorms, heavy winds, fog or snow. All deposits and monies will be refunded in full should this occur. Sometimes the weather is doing one thing at the release location and doing another at the home loft. Should we have to cancel due to bad weather, a full refund will be given, however, if the customer insists that we appear in bad weather (ex: expecting the weather to clear) and the release is not able to happen, the customer will forfeit the 50% deposit. Also any catastrophe that affects either the birds' performance or appearance (ex: sickness or injury of the birds) would warrant a cancellation by White Dove Release of Virginia. This is an unlikely occurrence, however since everything is based on living animals, anything can happen and we would notify you immediately. Once again, since White Dove Release of Virginia is based on living things, we cannot guarantee any certain performance from the birds. Once the baskets are opened we are no longer in control of the birds' actions. Be it known also that White Dove Release of Virginia will not be responsible for any soiling of clothing. This has never happened but we still want to inform you of this in the event of such an occurrence. A 50% deposit of the full amount is required at the time of booking your release. The balance is due 14 days before the ceremony. In the event of any cancellation, excluding the above mentioned, the 50% deposit will be forfeited.

We release only well trained, well cared for white homing pigeons that I have raised and trained to return home to their loft.

We can not release our birds at night, inside of buildings, or within an hour of sunset. Our doves must have enough time to fly home and get comfortably settled before dark. We can not "rent" doves. We will not ship our doves for a client's self-release. We will not sell you a dove for you to release later. Each release is attended by an experienced Release Coordinator whose soul purpose is making sure the doves are comfortable and safe and that your special event goes as planned. We can not release birds beyond a range they are unable to safely fly.
Note: Please be as precise as possible in scheduling your release time. A charge of $25.00 will be added to the fee for each additional half-hour past the scheduled release time. This is due to the fact that our birds may be booked for other releases on the same day. We know that plans can change so for your convenience, call to see if the release time can be altered.

Payment Type Accepted: Cash, Money Order, and Check. There will be a $35.00 return check fee on all checks returned by the bank.
