Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does a picnic book work?

A: We set up your picnic of choice and have it ready upon arrival. We’ll be at the site to greet you and make sure nobody else decides to have your picnic! Once you arrive, we leave you to enjoy your experience for the reserved time. You are responsible for the items until we return to pack them up at the arranged time. If you would like to leave earlier than this time, please provide 30 mins notice by call or text. Once we return to pack up, you are free to leave and enjoy the rest of your day or evening.

Q: How much notice do you need to create a picnic?

A: We suggest at least 1 week notice so we can provide the best picnic experience for you. However, we do get fully booked - especially on weekends. The more notice you can give, the better!

Q: What is included in a picnic?

A: We currently offer picnic packages suitable for 2-25 people. However, we can accommodate events up to 100+ people with other rental companies. Contact us to make magic!

Each Picnic Package Includes:

Styled picnic setting with rugs and/or blankets
Candles and/or lanterns
Assortment of colored pillows/cushions
Low table with table runner or table cloth
Dinner plates, chargers, linen, napkin, flatware, glassware
Fringe Umbrella (dependent on style/optional)

About Styling:

Each set up and design varies on your style, color preference and picnic size. Let us know if you have a style preference and/or color scheme so we can tailor a picnic to fit your special occasion.

Q: Can you set up anywhere?

A: We require a location to be within 50 yds of vehicle access. There may be additional costs if there isn’t close vehicle access or if it’s outside of DFW.
