The Butterflies were beautiful and made our Daughters Wedding Day perfect. We released them when they left. They were to bring them happiness today, tomorrow and beyond. They also were released in Remembrance of all the loved ones that were not with us, but looking down on us from Heaven.
Thank you !

I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know we LOVED the butterflies you provided for our wedding on June 21, 2008. I want to thank you so much for the great service we received. You answered all my questions when I called to order (and I asked a lot of them) in a very professional and friendly matter. Upon receipt of the butterflies I called for further care instructions and you were so helpful, I really appreciated it. I was concerned with some of the butterflies not surviving the long trip and temperature shock but they all did! My husband was not impressed with my wishes to have the butterflies at our service but after the service his opinion had changed. Also, I believe it helped change his mind that his friends thought it was a "cool idea" and not too "girlie". I also wanted to thank you for the copy of the Indian Poem you enclosed with the butterflies, that is really going the extra mile and a small jesture that lets your customers know you care. We were so pleased we framed the poem with pictures
of the butterflies at the service. I could not have been happier with the product or the services I received from your company. Thank you for making our special day even better!

Dear Chad & Company, As the mother of the bride, I suggested a butterfly release in memory of family members that have passed on. Since I lit our family candle in preparation for the unity candle and was asked to do a reading, I wrote about the butterfly as a symbol of change and tied in the Native American Legend. The release of your Monarch butterflies was nothing short of spectacular! We followed your instructions to the letter. We used (what else) clear hair ‘butterfly’ clips to hold the top or the netting closed and was easy to undo! We released in a basket held high upwind (of a breeze) of the bridal party, the butterflies landed on the bridal party bouquets and on the bride’s dress! It was beautiful and cameras recorded the event. I am very pleased with the results, the release will long be remembered as one of the highlights of the wedding day. Thank you for making it special.

I would also like to forward you 2 pictures that you can use as well. I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH for supplying a great "product" for my special day. Thank you so much!!!! Everyone loved it; especially me and my new husband.

Just wanted to let you know the Butterflies were Spectacular! Everything went accordingly per your instructions. It was fun to watch them awake and drink from the sweetened water, then to actually be ready to fly out of the beautiful release cage. Thank you for making this day so special for our son and his new bride.

Thank you for the fabulous experience! Our kindergarteners here at church did a butterfly release this morning and it was a huge success. They butterflies all arrived and survived. The giggles and squeals were precious as they opened their envelopes and let them fly. The fun part was that many would fly onto their heads or hands and just sit for a bit. The children love it as did the adults!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You helped us have a fun extra special Sunday morning!
I have your number and web site and will recommend you to others.
Blessings to you in your unique business! Thanks for blessing the lives of so many kindergarteners today!

Butterfly Release Company,
On behalf of my family, I wanted to thank you for helping to add a ray of sunshine to my grandmother's graveside services. The idea for a butterfly release came out of her love of nature - flowers, birds and butterflies, but your company helped to make this idea into a beautiful reality. We appreciated your accessibility, availability, attention to detail, and for going the extra mile in every way. Our order was filled and shipped in less than 24 hours, arrived on time, and included the extra thoughtfulness of a sympathy card. We were so pleased to see the special personalization on both the interior and exterior of the release envelopes. The poem was read, the envelopes opened, and we watched in wonder and peace as each and every one took flight! Many butterflies paused around surrounding graves and flowers while others fluttered in the sunshine and breeze. It was a beautiful closure to a beautiful life, and my grandmother would have loved it.
Thanks again for helping us celebrate a life well-lived.

I just wanted let you know that the butterfly release went very well, all the butterflies took flight with out any problems.( no casualties) It really added a special and meaningful touch to our loved ones memorial service last Thursday. Thank you so much for making it possible on such short notice. The decorator presentation box was beautiful and made it very easy to release the butterflies.
Thanks again!

The butterflies release at my daughters wedding was beautiful. we followed the exact directions you sent and when we opened the butterflies and put them in a cage they were all alive. Not one single dead one. We did not feed them and shook the cage a little before we opened it, they all flew out and landed on the flowers the photographers were so pleased. Thank you. The story behind the butterflies gave a special theme to the Indian wedding and made it very special.
Thank you.

Just wanted to let you know the butterfly release at my daughters wedding was absolutely a success!! One of the butterflies landed on her flowers and another was on her finger tip. More than we could have dreamed for. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making her day so special.

Dear Butterfly Release Company,
I am the Event Chair for the 2006 American Cancer Society's Relay for Life of Greater Auglaize County in Ohio. I want to thank you for your wonderful, beautiful, healthy butterflies. We purchased 1100 butterflies from you in individual envelopes & less than 5 didn't survive. I think that is phenomenal! You were a pleasure to work with during the months leading up to our event. Starting with the design on the envelope to the delivery to the local UPS hub, you couldn't have been nicer or more helpful! Especially when I was very stressed & worried about the details of the release on such a large scale. I will recommend you to everyone who wishes to do a release. In fact, I have been contacted by 3 Relay For Life Events who want to do a butterfly release next year. Thank you so much for your help in making our event a big success!!

We had a great release. They got a little frisky prior, but that was ok. The day was perfect, 65, but sunny. Everyone just loved them. Thanks again for your suggestion and help.

Thank you so much for making sure that the butterflies made it to our Santa’s Workshop Weekend a camp for children with cancer and blood disorders. We released the butterflies at closing ceremonies in the camps butterfly garden. It was beautiful and moving and even some of the parents cried. We read the paper that you included in the package and handed out flyers with a page full pictures of butterflies with the words ~ What the caterpillar calls the end, the rest of the world calls a butterfly. This was the perfect way for us to remember the children who are not at camp this year…but also kept it from being too sad. Thanks a million.

I wanted to be sure to tell you how lovely our butterfly release went.
Every butterfly was alive and raring to go. They flew out landed on some people but for the most part, after a short flight they went to the flowers in the garden. We stood in the middle of a circular garden filled with daisies and lilies and many other flowers and the butterflies were exactly what I wanted to end our memorial service for my son. It was uplifting and quite spiritual. The pastor found just the right passage to quote before the release. The painted ladies arrived the day before in great shape. It was simple to change the ice pack and keep watch over them to be sure they weren't too warm nor too cold. Everything went as you said it should. The day of the release was a beautiful sunshiny day in the upper 70s, a little breezy but very comfortable. Both adults and children were in awe of the beauty and simplicity of this symbolic release of the soul. Thank you again for helping to make the finishing touch so beautiful.
Best regards,

I wanted to take a moment to personally thank Butterfly Release Company for these wonderful Monarch Butterflies. They truly made our special day a spectacular one as well. We were so pleased as were our guests. The little children had the most fun, as the butterflies were released, the little ones jumped up and down and tried to catch them as we all did when we were young.

We had 3 dozen Painted Lady butterflies for my daughter's wedding. We kept them in a cage by the guest book. They were a huge hit. They were part of the decorations before the wedding. People were surprised and watching them everyone smiled more. People were amazed. The release was lovely and worth each penny.

I just couldn't believe it. I had never seen butterflies released before and didn't know it was possible. Honestly, when the mother of the bride told me what they were going to do, I fully expected the butterflies to drop over dead when the envelopes were opened. But they didn't. Everyone of them flew up and around - it was beautiful. The whole crowd just let out a collective Ooh. It was amazing! Great Job!

The butterflies were quite a hit at the wedding. The photographer had a great time taking pictures of the butterflies on the bride and groom before they flew away. Thanks for sending extras for photos. The butterfly release was such a beautiful finishing touch to the wedding. Every butterfly flew after just a few seconds, and all the guests commented on how wonderful it was. Most people attending had never seen a butterfly release before, and were so surprised by it. You could just hear the oohs and ahhs as the butterflies began to fly around! Thank you Butterfly Release Company so much for helping to make this day so special for us!

Thank you so much for your kindness and professionalism. Losing my Grandmother was difficult. I contacted you at a very busy time of year,(Easter) and you were kind enough to accommodate us at the 'last minute' due to the changing, unpredictable weather. It was pouring and 50 degrees on Thursday, 58 and gray with some drizzle on Friday but supposed to be'nice' on Saturday,(the day of the memorial service). Your Painted Ladies flew beautifully on Saturday as it was 75 and gorgeous! Everyone commented on the 'nice touch'the butterflies were. Thanks again for helping us at a difficult time.

Our Remembrance Day on Saturday went beautifully. The butterflies all lived and flew away beautifully. You were right, some did get acclimated to the cage, but it turned out to be rather meaningful as some of the siblings (small children) were able to come and allow the butterflies to light on their hand before flying away. Also, some of the parents came and took out a butterfly and released it in the name of their child. It was beautiful and helped us end this sad time on a hopeful note. Thank you for your help. We will be in touch as we prepare for next year’s event.

Thank you for making our memorial butterly release a reality! It was a difficult time for our family and the butterfly release took our emotions to a happier place for once during that day. It also helped us involve the children in celebrating their grandmother's life. Several attendees commented on how beautiful the release was. We are forwarding your cite to the funeral home at their request as well. Your staff went above and beyond to ensure that our delivery made it on time for the ceremony. The release box was perfect and every butterfly made it! We will always use your company for our future releases and share your website with all our friends. Thanks again.

Just wanted to say thank you so much! All our butterflies were alive and well and a HUGE hit for our baby girl's 1st birthday garden party!! It was truly special!

Chad,
I just wanted to thank you and your wife for all your help with our butterfly release. The butterflies were a success and the ladies enjoyed the moment. The butterflies landed on their shoulders and fingers and stayed around for a lot of photo opportunities. Thanks for all your help in creating a memorable moment for our group.
Sincerely,

I just wanted to let you know how special the butterflies were at my friend Jan's Memorial. Everyone was taken with them. They all flew off into the
pine trees around her home. Most people had never heard of a butterfly release. I live in a very small town in North Eastern Oregon, pop
maybe 2,000 on a good day, depending who was born and who died. So was amazing they came from Florida , all alive and well.
It made a very sad day so much easier.

Hello, We purchased painted lady butterflies for a memorial service for my father. They were so beautiful. When my family and I opened our individual envelopes to release the butterflies, some flew away while others stayed around us landing on our clothes and the flowers we had brought. It was truly a beautiful scene. Watching them fly away was such a calming experience for us. Thank you so much for sending such beautiful butterflies that really made our ceremony special.
Thank You,

I elected to order your butterflies against the suggestions and opinions of my family. They initially though it was not worth the effort, or money. I felt strongly about the idea and went against everyone’s will and to their surprise we now are planning for the butterfly release to be a yearly tradition in our beautiful daughter’s memory. You blessed our family and friends more than you will ever know with the services you offer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart you made a terribly difficult day an enjoyable life touching experience. If I can ever recommend anyone to your services I assure you I will to the best of my ability. God Bless you both and your business.

I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for your prompt service on our recent order of butterflies. We had an outdoor wedding at a local state park. The addition of the butterfly release was a wonderful experience for my husband and myself as well as the immediate family. By releasing them at the state park we also we able to add to nature not take away from it. I will definitely recommend your company in the future. My mother in law has already requested a butterfly release be done at her memorial service when that time comes. Once again thank you for helping our day be a beautiful and memorable one.

Chad & Jill,
I ordered a doz of the Monarchs for my granddaughter's 9th b-day party.I was a little nervous about what to do when the package arrived but Jill put me at ease and I just replaced the ice pack that was in the box and I was good to go. Very easy. The next day at the party I gave one to my granddaughter and told her to be very easy and open the package very gently...then the antenna came out. The look on her face was unreal! Then she opened the package and the Monarch, just as beautiful and colorful and graceful,as could be, flew out. I will order again no questions about that!! In closing, the price per dozen, under a hundred. The shipping, outrageous. The look on my granddaughter's face, Priceless. Thank You both so much.

Also, if someone wants to ask me questions or if they is someway I can help you with sales, PLEASE use my name and number. Word of mouth IS the best advertisement.
The butterfly release was fa-nominal! The people at my wedding was in awe, as was I. I never experienced such beauty!
Yes, they flew all over my bouquet and it was breath taking. The envelopes were to perfection as well.
I will always consider you first anytime a family member, friend, or myself wants a butterfly release....THANKS AGAIN
