Dove Release Brides that did and those that are doing

Who have you booked or did book? I won't mention names and I know I will win on this, but they are trying to charge me more for doing the release in Nassau if I don't do their big package. Meanwhile their website mentions nothing of the sort!
Please only respond if you know of companies that do this.

I used Kaila's Love Doves. www.njdoves.com Our release was in Brooklyn. I don't know if their birds can go that far.

You have to keep in mind that distance is a critical factor in dove releases. Also you are saying they are charging more. Where are they leaving from.

They charged us a little more for Brooklyn due to toll cost to get to Brooklyn.

Their prices last year did not include distance restrictions. So when I contacted them this year, there is a restriction on doing releases in Nassau County. They are based in Suffolk.
YET, the website doesn’t state this. Other sites do state this.
It is not right for a vendor to advertise information in one forum differently than another.

I will contact the vendor you used. Thanks.

We were going to use a dove release, also in Suffolk, but they will not release the Doves if they cannot fly home before sunset. Our reception is at 5:30 in January (waaaaay past sunset). I was really upset, b/c this was the ONE thing I really wanted & now we can't do it. Also, this restriction was not mentioned on their website.
