    Painted ladies mass release box

    Forgot to post this months ago (service sept 2025) Very easy to work with. It's a family owned business. The son Daniel is very helpful and informative, and the dad is a very nice gentleman. It is in a neighborhood and once you arrive there's an obvious sign to follow. It was a great experience for our butterfly release, and all of our painted ladies survived and even climbed on some of my brother's closest loved ones. Lovely concept and lovely people to do business with. Thank you for your help!

    Amazing experience! Very thoughtful! We released butterflies for my dad's celebration of life! Everyone loved the individual boxes. My cousin recently had a butterfly release but the only option was the mass release and loved that it was individual. Will definitely buy butterflies from them again!

    I ordered butterflies as a surprise for a friend to do a celebration of life. The experience with their website and interacting with Daniel was great from start to finish. Our butterflies were amazing in the lantern and the instructions for keeping them until the release were perfect! I would highly recommend Grace and Honor.

    Here's the card provided. Wait until you see the back!

    Fantastic! So worth the drive to pick up. Boxes of butterflies were ready in a pretty white box, with directions, a message from the owner, information about their business, goals, and vision, and best of all, a sweet "Don't cry for me" poem to read at mom & dad's memorial.

    I had to make a really hard call over the phone to get butterflies at the last minute. I appreciate that Daniel went above and beyond my expectations. He is very understanding, patient and kind. I was very impressed and very happy I chose to call this place instead of somewhere else. Thank you very much for making his send off extra special. I will definitely keep you in mind for further needs.

    The release of butterflies was a beautiful addition to my aunt's funeral / celebration of life. Each butterfly was delicately encased in an elegant box. The symbolism of butterflies is numerous -- I encourage you to consider these services for various occasions. Be free from your physical ailments in this world and rest in paradise, Bac Loan love you.

    We purchased butterflies recently for a Celebration of Life. The TLC and honor that Dan puts into the packaged is amazing. What a great experience for all the family. We highly recommend this thoughtful activity.

    I got butterflies from Grace & Honor for my annual women's event and not only was their service amazing, the butterfly boxes and overall product was above and beyond. Definitely recommend and will definitely use them again for my next women's event. Thank you Grace & Honor for making my event so much more memorable & beautiful

    I have been trying to write this review for months. My mom passed suddenly in April. One of her absolute favorite things were butterflies. I knew that I definitely wanted to release butterflies at her memorial service. I searched high and low and did days of research before coming upon Grace & Honor. Not only did they have the best prices, there website was easy to navigate. I thought it was a bit archaic that you had to phone in your order but hey, that was no big deal. I had the pleasure of speaking with Daniel. Daniel, is extremely friendly, patient, sympathetic towards my reason for ordering and outrageously helpful. Daniel e planned everything I needed to know about caring for the butterflies as well as emailing the information. I had to send an Uber driver to pick the butterflies up. Daniel even have verbal instructions to the Uber driver. Well, we followed all of his instructions and ever single butterfly was alive and well. The butterflies added just what I wanted to my mom's service. We released them and they all were healthy and flew away (just as planned). Thank you Daniel fir your outstanding service. I plan to release butterflies every year on my mom's birthday and I will definitely be using Grace & Honor.

    Beautiful painted lady flying away!

    My stepson passed away at the young age of 26 and we wanted to have a butterfly release at his service. I was put in contact with Grace & Honor through my mortuary and from Day 1, Daniel was so kind and welcoming on the phone. He explained the packages and pricing and even allowed our family to have 2 free butterflies to equal 26 for my son's age. The online ordering process was smooth and easy. It's all very detailed and I was able to see exactly what I was getting. I ordered the individual boxes to allow my family and friends to each be a part of this very special celebration. The day before pick up, Daniel called me to confirm my order and the day of I arrived at the location to pick up the beautiful butterflies. They were all packaged and ready to go for me. I was given care instructions for them and a lovely poem to read before the release. This added such a harmonious feeling to our service and reminded us that beautiful things must fly away such as our stepson who rose to the skies to be with the Lord. I highly recommend Grace & Honor for your events. I will share a few photos. Thank you!!

    Butterfly Release for my baby Delilah
    Salisa S.

    If I could give 10 stars I would. I never purchased butterflies before and I was looking for something to honor my 2 year old baby girl who passed last year. This was so beautiful doing a butterfly Release. It was the best decision and when I picked up the butterflies the owners were the most kindest people. They were welcoming and sweet. They showed me the butterflies and gave me all the information I needed.I will be doing a butterfly release from them every year.

    The butterflies landed on the flowers

    Daniel was very communicative and left detailed instructions on how to take care of the butterflies. It was a beautiful way to commemorate my grandmother. The butterflies were all alive and beautiful. We even read the poem that came with our order. The family loved it!

    One butterfly in glass container with a kind message. It was for a memorial release on Mother's Day.
    Mari O.

    I had a wonderful experience on 2 separate occasions. First time was for a butterfly memorial release on Mother's Day. The packaging and the butterflies were beautiful. The 2nd time was for caterpillars that would transition into butterflies. The instructions were detailed and the kit was easy for me & my little kids to do. It was our first time and we had a great learning experience. I will definitely purchase from them again. The cleanliness, and customer service is exceptional.

    Unfortunately, I was not able to have the Forever & Always Wedding that I dreamed of. Although…read moreHeather communicated very well, there were a couple of incidents that I found slightly unprofessional: 1. I signed a contract with one of her staff as my wedding planner. Unfortunately, from my understanding, there were unexpected changes in the company, so Heather had to take over. However, Heather responded that she would make an exception for me and not charge me an additional $1000 for this change. With all due respect, I should not be financially penalized for changes that an owner experiences; especially since I already signed the contract that I financially agreed to. 2. I encountered a lot of life changes that disrupted my ability to move forward with a wedding that my brothers were supposed to be in. For instance, I had a depressed, suicidal brother, I had another brother leave for Japan for the Marines, and I had an uncle pass away. All vendors except for Heather were so kind to fully refund my deposits due to the situation. Unfortunately, Heather responded that she was still a businesswoman and was financially hurting, so she was in no place to offer a full refund. I basically paid Heather almost $500 to establish a simple contract. I already had all the vendors in place and organized, so this deposit was for nothing. Heather should not be held responsible for unexpected circumstances, but this wedding meant a lot to me. As a business owner, you should be able to compromise with your clients based on their situation. I could have easily used that deposit to help my family for the funeral. I find this situation absurd because I never wanted a wedding planner to begin with. Our wedding list was only 32 guests, but my fiancé insisted that we hire a planner because he did not want me to stress out. I admire him for caring, but this wedding was going to be a private and intimate event with very little management. I blame myself for hiring a wedding planner when I did not need one. It is unfortunate that Heather was thinking like a businesswoman and not a human being with empathy. Nonetheless, please make sure to ask about the refund policy for emergencies such as death, health, etc. Two stars are for her communication, but I can only evaluate Heather based on my experience with her before the wedding date. Therefore, I am unable to provide feedback for her day service since my wedding never happened. Has it ever occurred to you, Heather, that you had not heard from me in a year because I was busy dealing with other important things like planning a funeral? My wedding was the last thing on my mind. Also, I was not complaining about the charge that never happened, I am complaining about your response to your changes. There was no need to comment on that you are more expensive and won't be charging me. We could have proceeded forward with whatever it was we were doing. You contacted ONE venue and that is because they had YOU sign a contract with them. FYI, my pre-engagement photos were scheduled with the photographer I hired for my wedding and I was still refunded the full amount. This vendor did not work for free either and still managed to prioritize customer service over money. You are a business owner and have the liberty to do as you please, but you must have needed the money more than I did, so I hope my contributions helped your business. Nonetheless, well done on your communication. If you have a family member with a life-threatening illness or you have a medical condition that may require potential hospitalization, please do not hire Heather as your wedding planner as she will not refund you the deposit because not make exceptions for your situation simply because she does not "work for free." Thank you.

    It's so important to relate to and connect with your wedding planner and from day 1 it felt like…read moreshe was my friend helping me plan my dream wedding. I found Heather through Yelp and let me say: she really understood my vision and kept it real with me on what i could and couldn't afford lol. Not to mention, I literally and honestly don't know how I could have enjoyed my wedding without Heather. Her and her assistant, Courtney, handled E V E R Y T H I N G on the day of our wedding at the Estate on Second and then some. If there was any sort of problem, she had the solution. If we needed a drink, she was there with mine and my husband's signature cocktails. If I was losing track of time, she made sure to gently push me along. She truly handled everything so that me and my husband could just have FUN and for that I am truly grateful.

    I had the pleasure of working with Tricia to design my bridal bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages…read more I was referred to Tricia by David from Shibata Florals. My wedding was in San Diego on a Saturday, and Tricia delivered the flowers on Friday morning to a family member in the OC. Not only did the flowers last until the next day, I got exactly what I wanted from Tricia but at a fraction of the price from other florists. Make sure the flowers stay in water and in a cool place. We were lucky that the hotel I was staying in allowed us to use their large kitchen fridge. Just make sure there aren't any fruits in the fridge; they emit a gas, which will wilt the flowers. This is a photo of what I sent Tricia: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zsAIIQObiKI/VBj7Lp0EAHI/AAAAAAAAFHQ/aNnzx7iuj4o/s1600/peach-peonies-garden-roses-wedding-flowers-mintgreen-peach-wedding-colors-spring.jpg She gave me a quote and informed me that the bouquets in the photo had peonies in them (which would be out of season during my January wedding). I know nothing about flowers, so I really appreciated her honesty and I decided to replace the peonies with hydrangeas and I got a really good deal! Tricia understands what it is to be a budget bride and her prices cannot be beat. I would definitely recommend Tricia's floral designs or any event design for your weddings or special occasions. Thanks Tricia!

They completely outdid themselves and we received so many compliments on things that we could confidently say "oh, that was all Tricia!" And the flower arrangements she did were phenomenal! Armed only with a general, half-formed thought from me, she created the most beautiful bridal bouquet! I was remarking on it all night to anyone who would listen how beautiful it was! Every arrangement she did was gorgeous. If you are in need of a wedding coordinator or a florist, look no further than Invited By Tricia. She was available, affordable, and without a doubt the best there is!

From the very beginning, Cindy was organized, calming, supportive, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day everything we hoped it would be. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming at times, but Cindy's guidance, attention to detail, and incredible work ethic made the entire process so much easier and more enjoyable. She was always quick to answer questions, offer thoughtful advice, and help us navigate every decision with confidence. On the wedding day itself, Cindy was an absolute rock star. Knowing she was there overseeing everything allowed us to fully relax, be present, and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and everything flowed so seamlessly that we never had to worry about a thing. Our wedding was absolutely stunning. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the flowers were and how impressed they were with every detail of the day. I loved being able to tell them that our amazing wedding planner was also responsible for all of the gorgeous florals. The flowers exceeded anything I could have imagined and brought our vision to life perfectly. Every arrangement was elegant, timeless, and beautifully designed. One of my favorite details from the entire day was my bouquet. It was absolutely beautiful, and even now I still find myself looking at it and smiling. It perfectly captured everything I had hoped for and is such a special reminder of our wedding day. Beyond her incredible talent, Cindy is simply a wonderful person. She truly cares about her couples and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel supported throughout the entire process. We are so grateful for everything she did for us and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Apparently, it used to be a club, but has now changed into a very high-end and cool venue for weddings or whatever type of event you want to have. One of the first thing you notice when you turn in is the amount of ample parking. There are two secured Gates that open up to a huge parking lot, definitely not cramped for sure. And it has plenty of handicap spaces which is very nice. Walking into the open air pavilion, is a real treat. What a great space! This would be a great place for outside dining, or having a band play out there and dancing, if you didn't want to be cooped up inside. Definitely tons of possibilities at this venue! Inside, there is a bar on one end and a stage on the other with a huge open area. This would be perfect for a wedding or something that's held inside, if you did not want to brave the elements outside. Company on site, and can pretty much do anything you need. And that's not all, there is an upstairs area that is perfect for an overflow room, or a VIP lounge, or just a place for say a wedding party to take a break, or anything you really want to do with it. It even has a nice little outside courtyard that you can sit and get some fresh air. I could almost write a book about how awesome this place is but suffice to say if you live in Orange county and are looking for a premier venue to have your event at, I don't think you could do any better than the colony House.
