​
WHERE WILL MY PICNIC BE?
Backyards are the perfect place for picnics. It gives you lots of privacy and freedom to celebrate the way you want to. We also love living rooms, decks, balconies, front yards, patios, porches, airbnb's and parks. Ultimately it's up to you. However, when choosing a location there are a few things you must consider:
- Is the ground flat, level and dry?
- Is there a restroom facility near by for you and your guests?
- Will you need ADA accessibility for any member of your group?
- Is your preferred location close to accessible parking for unloading and loading?
- Does your preferred location/park allow picnics or require a permit? (Use our preferred park location or contact your local parks and recreation department to inquire about park rules/regulations/permit fees.)
​
​
​
WHAT ARE YOUR PICNIC HOURS?
Our service hours change with the seasons. We are currently offering picnics between 6pm and 8pm on Fri and between 11am - 8pm Sat - Sun. Sunset picnics are very popular in the summer and early fall so please book early.
​
​
​
IS FOOD PROVIDED?
Food is not included with any of our packages. We recommend using one of the many amazing local charcuterie companies in DFW to accommodate your picnic food needs. Most require advance notice and will deliver to your home. If you need any recommendations just reach out. Another popular alternative is ordering take out from your favorite restaurant or stopping by your neighborhood grocer. Most markets make it super easy to grab & go. Central Market and Eatzi's Market & Bakery are a couple of our fav's for picnic fare.
​
​
​
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?
We know Texas weather is unpredictable, so we require clients to have a plan B in mind when booking their picnic.
