the A's to your Q's

How does it work?

You do the dreaming, we do the scheming. Use our simple inquiry form here to outline your event. Next comes the fun part. Shortly after the form is submitted, we will be in touch to help with choosing a location, design, and arranging any food or extra add-ons you wish to have at your party. You’re welcome to be as hands-on or hands-off as you wish during this process. This can be a totally unique and customizable experience to you, but we also welcome the challenge of the “surprise me” client. Whatever you choose to do, your event will be equal parts memorable and beautiful.

How do I book?

Move a seat over to our inquiries page, where you can start with our “Not So Basic Basic Table” and add any add-ons you wish to have. Think of this as your “dream wedding” Pinterest board coming to life - we know you have one of those ;) This is your chance to put together a beautiful event that is completely customizable to you. You can also message us via email, phone or social media and we will direct you to this form. A 50% deposit will be required at the time of booking to reserve your spot.

What does the basic package include?

Our basic table includes a full sustainable and luxury place setting (plates, silverware, wine glasses, dinner glasses and napkins) as well as some decor. Photos can be found on our gallery page. It’s important to us that our basic table is as stunning as our tables full of add-ons. Although add-ons bring a whole new layer of fun, you really can’t go wrong either way.

Where can we have our picnic?

There are a few public parks that allow the setup of luxury picnics. We will be happy to give you a list of some of our favorites during the booking process. Aside from these, we are available to set up in all private locations around Austin - this can be a backyard, hotel room, airbnb, or even in your living room. There is plenty of space to get creative here! 

Permits are required for most public parks. If you choose to go this route, we can help you hand-pick the best spot for your event - please note that you will be responsible for any permit fees required for your selected location. Most of the time, these permits have to be obtained at least 2 weeks before your event.

How far in advance do I need to book?

The sooner the better! We can book events up to 3 months in advance. If you choose to have your picnic at a park or venue, you will need to book a couple weeks in advance. If you’re going for something cozier in a private location, then 3 days before your event will be sufficient to prepare for any add-ons or catering you may choose. If you are booking 3 days in advance, the full payment will be required at the time of booking.

Will food and beverage be included?

Charcuterie boards and other foods and deserts can be added for an additional charge. Food that you would like organized and set up by us needs to be requested at the time of booking. Filtered water and ice is included at every picnic, but sparkling beverages may be added to any package for an additional charge. We are not licensed to provide alcohol, so you’re welcome to BYOB. Note that some public locations have rules surrounding alcohol, so it will be your responsibility to know and follow those guidelines. 

Can I bring my own food/drinks?

Of course! Just keep in mind that some public parks might have restrictions.

What if I need to cancel?

We ask that you cancel before 72 hours of your scheduled date. We don’t offer refunds of the initial down payment, but we’re happy to help you reschedule your picnic within 60 days of the original date you booked. 

What happens if the weather is bad?

Luckily, Austin has plenty of sunny days throughout the year. However, sometimes the weather can be fickle. When booking, we ask that you consider having a plan B - a place indoors you can move your event to just in case. If it’s looking rainy two days before your event, we will contact you and offer to move your event indoors, reschedule, or wait one more day to monitor the skies.

What if I show up late?

We understand that some things are out of your control, so we will grace you with an extra 15 minutes to arrive at your picnic. After that 15 minutes is up, we reserve the right to pack up. 

Can we leave earlier than our
allotted time?

If you are wanting to leave early, you will have to contact us at least 30 minutes in advance. The reason being is that we can’t have all of our equipment sitting out by itself. 

Can we stay later than our
allotted time?

All of our picnics start at 2 hours long, but extra time may be added for an additional charge of $75/hr. Last minute requests for extra time will be $100/hr.

How does payment work?

A non-refundable payment of 50% is required to secure a date. Full Payment (the other half) plus a fully refundable security deposit will be due 72 hours prior to the scheduled picnic date. Payment details can be found on the invoice sent to the customer via email. The event set up will not occur without full payment prior. If full payment is not received two days before the event- the event will be canceled and no refund will be given.
