  Testamonials

March 10th 2007

The butterflies were beautiful and arrived on time. It was lovely releasing them... Overall I'd recommend Renaissance Butterflies for anyone wanting butterflies. The butterflies themselves were beautiful and elegant. It was easy to care for them and easy to release them. It was a touching memorial to my father.

Dear Renaissance Butterflies,

Thank you so very much for all your help with the butterflies.  We received them on time and they were ready to fly by the time the family was ready to release them. 75 degrees today in New Jersey !   Everyone loved the idea, even the funeral director!  It was a perfect touch in a difficult day for our friend and his family.  Again, thank you so very much.

School Project

-Dear Renaissance Butterflies,
Words cannot encompass the depth of my gratitude. Your generous donation has allowed my students to experience a relevant, hands-on learning activity that they would not have had the opportunity otherwise (due to financial constraints). After a week long unit about butterflies, the students were given a chance to connect what they had learned with a real life experience. Thanks to your gift, providing each student with a butterfly for a release, these children will have a positive learning experience to reflect upon, which is extremely rare in this day of high stakes testing and accountability. My students also benefited from by learning the value of a good deed. The priceless expressions on their faces will be forever in my memories, as it represented the joy and wonder of education. That single moment encompasses all that I can hope to achieve as an educator; you have blessed me with an incredible experience that I will never forget.
My students and I were extremely pleased that each beautiful butterfly fluttered away to finish its life cycle; without knowing how much they had touched our. The gift that you have given to my students and I was much more than 25 butterflies- it was a gift of enlightenment. These children will enter the 2nd grade next year with their curiosity and desire to learn still intact, they have witnessed the power of a real life experience… and not just another lesson from a book.
Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Jessica Green


-This was a wonderful experience from the friendly customer service
(Who answered many questions before purchase) to the flawless delivery of the butterflies. The packaging and presentation were lovely. Thank you, I will definitely use your service again!!

-I just wanted to thank you for the butterflies that we received yesterday (9-9-05). We released them at our beach wedding today (9-10-05). We were extremely pleased to see that they all made it through the shipping process and that our guests were so amazed at the sight of them all flying out of the box. Some needed a little coaxing but that made it all the more special because they flew off of our fingers. We are so glad that we decided to order from your company and we will be certain to recommend you to all our friends.
Thank you again,
Vanessa Ramos-Piscitelli
 

-Hi. My name is Kristen. We ordered butterflies from Renaissance Butterflies for our wedding on May 14th (Kristen and Baron), and I have to say it made my wedding a very memorable experience. All the guests LOVED the butterflies, and it turned out beautiful. I've been ranting and raving to people about your service ever since the wedding. People are always asking how they can have butterflies at their wedding, too. I'm not shy about telling them.
Thanks so much!
Kristen

-I thought you might like to see some of the pictures of your
butterflies at my dad's memorial service. They made everyone smile and helped brighten a sad day.

-I would like to thank-you for sending the beautiful butterflies for my father's funeral. They made a very special memory for all that attended.
Thank you again,

-My mother adored butterflies--they were in and on everything in her home from refrigerator magnets, fan pulls, jewelry, pillows--you name it. Last spring she was diagnosed with the worst case scenario brain tumor. She died a few months later on August 5, 2004. As an only child, I was devastated. Today when I woke up on the first anniversary of her death my heart sat rock a rock in my chest. My cousins daughter, who happens to be an Episcopal priest; Laurie Wurm had sent me a box of your butterflies. I went outside in my garden and amid tears released them. One landed on me, then another two. I can not full express to you the emotional impact this had on me--I shall remember this event until the day I die, and perhaps beyond that. This was the most thoughtful, heartfelt thing anyone has ever done for me--nothing could have made me happier, or touched me more. I live behind a wildlife refuge, so hopefully the butterflies found their freedom enjoyable. Your packaging, poem and lovely box all added to the experience. So I want to say Thank You--and Bless You-I am sending good thoughts, prayers, wishes--blessings to everyone connected with Renaissance Butterflies.
Most sincerely, Janet Mc Gready

Dear Renaissance Butterflies,
It was a sad day!.... June 25th, 2005. Our Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, Cousin, Friend was being laid to rest in her eternal home.
Because Madelyn loved butterflies, her family and friend’s sad faces and eyes suddenly exclaimed smiles and excitement, when her four grandchildren lifted the top from a white beautifully designed gift-wrapped box. Three dozen colorful butterflies emerged fluttering from one funeral guest to the other… to the other… when one special butterfly decided to rest on the book “Order of Christian Funerals”, which was being held by our pastor. It lingered with Father indefinitely!! It was as if that particular butterfly was waiting for father to say … “Okay, you can lead Madelyn to her new heavenly home.”
Needless to say, all eyes were on that butterfly who impressed (as did all the butterflies) all our family and friends. This memory will be etched in our minds for many years to come.
We, Madelyn’s family and friends want to say “THANKS” and also for your prompt delivery.
-The Sisters
