Our Story

Our doves have created lasting memories for over 20 years.

How it began

Michael McAndrews first fell in love with doves when he read an article in National Geographic as a child. He was captivated by the fact that such small creatures had enough heart to brave terrifying conditions and save thousands of men during war.

After beginning his business in 2000, Michael learned to appreciate the moments of peace and tranquility his birds provided during the most challenging times and the joy on people’s faces when they were released during the best times.

When Michael needed to retire, he carefully sought out people who could be as committed as he was to their well-being.

Reshell and Fred Wilson (pictured helping a bride release a dove) were honored to be trusted with Michael’s business and his precious birds. The birds moved to the Wilson’s property in 2023. They have worked closely with Michael to soak in as much knowledge as possible.

The Wilsons are far from amateurs. They have extensive experience in the service and funeral industries. They have lived, experiencing the same joys and losses their clients experience. That’s why they are determined that every customer be treated with empathy and respect — and every celebration, no matter the religion or tradition, be honored.
