Whitebird

Ask The Dove Lady

Have an etiquette question, hit a wall, need ideas or referrals for the best wedding vendors the Sacramento area has to offer? Ask The Dove Lady. She likes to help.

Anna Lisa Hernandez, aka “The Dove Lady”, officially started Whitebird Ceremonial Dove Releases in 1991, but her inspiration came in 1984 while watching the opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. “I burst into tears, I thought it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen!” she recalls. After much research and planning, a little procrastinating, and a LOT of dreaming, Whitebird hatched.

Anna loves helping create beautiful memories, but feels tending her birds day-to-day is one of her life's greatest joys. Other great joys are her husband, Dale; retirement (33 years with the California Senate); Chocolate Orange gelato--on a cone; ladies’ lunches; and seasonally, sipping her famous hot cocoa (“a splash of Godiva never hurt anything”) by the fire.
