Butterfly Release Ceremonies — Monarch Magic for Life’s Special Moments

Some moments are too meaningful for words. That’s why at Blackborg, we offer something different—something alive, beautiful, and symbolic. Our Monarch Butterfly Release Packages bring a touch of natural wonder to weddings, memorials, birthdays, baby showers, and other life events.

Because butterflies don’t just fly—they transform, and they remind us of hope, healing, and new beginnings.

The Symbolism of the Monarch Butterfly

The Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is known for its incredible strength and resilience. Every year, Monarchs migrate thousands of miles across North America to overwinter in Mexico and California—an awe-inspiring journey passed down through generations.

They are the perfect symbol of:

• Transformation (from caterpillar to butterfly)

• Rebirth and renewal

• Spiritual connection

• Celebration of life

In cultures around the world, Monarchs are believed to carry messages from loved ones, offering peace and a feeling of closeness during life’s biggest transitions.

Weddings, Memorials & More

At Blackborg, our Monarch Release Packages are carefully curated to fit your occasion—whether joyful or reflective.

Popular Events Include:

• Weddings: Symbolizing new beginnings and shared transformation

• Celebrations of life / Funerals: Offering a moment of quiet beauty and reflection

• Birthdays & Baby Showers: A celebration of life and future growth

• Graduations or Personal Milestones: Honoring change, strength, and becoming

Imagine a dozen Monarchs fluttering into the air as vows are spoken, or a single butterfly gently released in memory of someone deeply loved. These are the kinds of moments that linger in hearts forever.

A Moment You’ll Never Forget

We’ve seen brides cry tears of joy, children squeal with laughter, and families find comfort in watching butterflies take to the sky.

Our Monarchs are not just part of the event—they become the moment.

When you choose a Blackborg release, you're not only creating a memory—you’re supporting native pollinator populations and helping us grow the sanctuary.
