Conditions

When making a booking for a wedding day dove release a £25 non-refundable booking fee is required.
This will reserve your date in our diary.
We can provisionally hold your date in our diary for up to seven days only.
The remaining balance will be due 6 weeks before the wedding date.
Cancellations must be made before 6 weeks of the wedding date.
After 6 weeks of the wedding date, 50% of the balance will still be charged.

Our white doves are restricted to a 50 mile radius of Dartford Tunnel to ensure
their safe return home.

The release must take place within 30 minutes after the wedding ceremony and must take place
before the main photography session or wedding car ride.
We have made this one of our conditions as in the past, photographers have asked us to wait for very
long periods of time whilst they are photographing the wedding party or whilst the newlyweds go for
a drive in their wedding car and we feel its better if the birds get to fly home sooner rather than later.
We also feel that releasing the doves as soon as possible after the ceremony is more meaningful.

Once released, our white doves need to navigate their way home, so all releases must take place two hours
before dusk with no exceptions.

All Dove releases will be at the co-ordinators discretion who will assess the weather conditions
at the time of release, or in extreme weather conditions, on the morning of the release.
Please bear in mind that a release may be cancelled by the co-ordinator if inclement weather conditions
such as very high winds, heavy rain, fog, snow or thunder storms should arise. However, photographs
can still be obtained with the dove displays and a 50% refund will be given. 
In the unlikely event that a total cancellation is unavoidable, then a total refund will be given.  

We cherish our beautiful white doves and their welfare is always of great importance to us.
