FAQ

So….How does it work?

Choose your picnic style, place, and time. We will arrive early to set up your picnic before your reservation and have everything ready for you before you arrive! At the end of your reservation our crew will come back to clean up! 

 

How do I book a picnic? 

Select your picnic package here, then fill out our reservation request form. we'll contact you within 24-48 hours of receiving your request. After we confirm your picnic needs, we will collect a 50% non-refundable retainer to reserve your time. The remaining balance is due one week before your picnic reservation.  

 

Can your picnics be set up anywhere? Our picnics can be set up almost anywhere in Austin and surrounding areas if it’s a private location like your house or yard. We also have pre-selected picnic locations, which can be found while booking. Permit or venue fees may apply to some locations. A mileage fee will be added for locations over 15 miles from 78729.

Unfortunately, we no longer set up picnics at Zilker Park and Mt. Bonnell. We love these parks, but Austin Parks and Rec. has prohibited luxury picnics at these locations. You may see other companies setting up at these parks, but they are risking having their picnic shut down and incurring a fine.

Some City of Austin parks require a permit fee and advance reservation requirements.

Locations with rough terrain such as hills, stairs, or rock paths will incur an additional $150 fee

How far in advance do I need to book? 

Picnic reservations can be made 3 months in advance. We recommend reserving your picnic as soon as possible because we do book up fast! Upon availability, we can accept reservations made 72 hours in advance.

Picnics and events booked 5 days or less from your date will incur a rush fee of $100. 

 

Please keep in mind picnics book quickly and some City of Austin parks require at least an 18 day advance notice. It’s best to book as far in advance so you can reserve your perfect date! 

 

Will food and beverage be provided? 

Sparkling or still water is included with every package. Charcuterie boards, brunch boards, and dessert can be added to any of our picnic packages for an additional charge.

We do not provide alcohol. Any alcoholic beverages will need to be provided by the party host. Please keep in mind to check park regulations if you are having your picnic at a park. 

Can I bring my own food and drink?

Absolutely! You can bring your own food and drinks to any picnic. Please keep in mind some public parks may have alcohol restrictions.  

What if I need to cancel my picnic? 

We do not offer refunds, but we will happily reschedule your picnic within 90 days of your original booking date if you cancel within 48 hours of your reservation. 
 

What happens if it rains?

We all know how unpredictable Austin weather is. We will check the weather two days before your picnic. If there is rain in the forecast on the day of your picnic, we will happily reschedule for another available day and time. We can also move your picnic indoors. Rainy days do make for cozy indoor picnics!
