Sharing The Butterfly Experience. Butterflies inspire wonderment! If you are looking for a unique, beautiful experience for your guest, consider a butterfly release! Sharing the Butterfly Experience provides a unique and elegant touch to any event or ceremony.

These transformations are symbolic of the married couple. These changes are similar to the new experiences the married couple may encounter as they start their new lives together. A butterfly release acknowledges these changes.
