Q: What is Picturesque Luxury Picnics?
A: Picturesque Luxury Picnics is an award-winning mobile luxury picnic + event styling experience serving Northeast Pennsylvania, New Jersey and beyond. We curate a 360° elevated outdoor, indoor or bubble tent picnic setting with low-rise tables, pillow arrangements, matching décor, and full place settings, paired with start-to-finish coordination, incredible enhancements and exclusive location partners.
Our services are performed 365 days a year, no matter the season! The cooler months are the perfect time for a lovely Bubble Tent Picnic or Indoor Picnic. Not looking for a picnic? We also do Table Styling, Event Styling and Romantic Room Styling (which are also perfect for those colder months, holiday season and intimate occasions!)
We are the most unique and modern alternative to traditional event planning.
Birthdays of all Ages | Engagements | Bachelorette Parties | Kid's Theme Party | Corporate Events | Valentine's or Galentine's | Friendsgiving | Gender Reveals | Graduations | the celebrations are endless!
Q: Do you provide alcohol?
A: We cannot provide alcohol with our events. BUT, if you choose to have your event at one of our winery partner locations, you can either 1. give us your wine order and we'll have it ready for you [after ID verification] or 2. order your favorite wines during your event yourself. Outside of the wineries, you are more than welcome to BYOB as long as your location allows. It is the guest's responsibility to know the rules/regulations of alcohol use in their chosen location.
Q: Har far do you travel?
A: We travel all throughout Northeast Pennsylvania, New Jersey and, occasionally, into New York. This includes the Poconos, all of Lehigh Valley, Greater Scranton area, North New Jersey and NYC. If you are outside of these boundaries, but are within 2 hours driving distance of Stroudsburg, PA, please feel free to submit your booking request anyway! We'd love to speak with you. Location approval is subject to a "case-by-case" basis, based on the location/time of other bookings on the same day and is something that will be discussed on your confirmation call.
Travel is calculated from Stroudsburg, PA.
Q: What about weather?
A: Ah, yes, the most infamous question asked to a picnic business. The weather obviously plays a huge role with outdoor picnics/events.
The week leading up to your picnic/event, we will keep track of weather forecasts for your date/time. It is strongly suggested that you do the same!! If the weather becomes a concern, we will review indoor options or consider rescheduling/canceling.
Cancelation Policy:
-For non-weather related cancelations: a full refund will be executed up to 5 days before your date (minus the non-refundable deposit!)
-For weather related cancelations ONLY: a full refund will be executed up to 24 hours before your event time (minus the non-refundable deposit!)
Reschedule Policy:
-The full amount paid will be transferred to your new date, up to 24 hours before your event time. ONLY 1 date change is permitted, unless reschedule insurance is bought! (see below) After 1 date change, your picnic/event will be canceled following the above cancelation policy.
​
Reschedule Insurance:
For an additional charge, we will allow up to 3 date changes for 1 calendar year from the original booking date, for any reason including weather. After 3 date changes, your picnic/event will be canceled following the above cancelation policy.

We truly appreciate you understanding the value of our time as we curate these luxury experiences!
Q: Why choose Picturesque Luxury Picnics (and not the other guys or DIY)?
A: Easy. Not only are we the most highly recognized luxury picnic service in NEPA and beyond, we offer full service coordination, unique partnerships, exclusive location options and deals you won't find elsewhere. The most valuable part is saving your time and energy; you don’t need to lift a finger!
Q: Do you provide food & beverages?
A: We are not chefs or caterers but we DO provide the coordination for food & beverage, if requested! Our specialty is the gorgeous picnic design, thoughtful details and coordination you need for a wonderful event. We also provide a complimentary water dispenser for hydration and convenience. For an additional charge, you can choose to add a charcuterie board and/or other food/dessert options. A charcuterie board is the most popular option and they're absolutely delicious - vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options available!
​
Most of the time, you may bring your own food if you'd like! But for some locations, like select wineries, they do not allow outside food, in which food would need to be bought from the property. If this is the case, it will be discussed on your confirmation call after you submit your booking request.
Q: How far in advance should I book?
A: During peak-season (May-September), it is recommended to request a booking at least 4 weeks in advance. During off-season (October-April), at least 2 weeks in advance. This is just a suggested guideline to help improve your chances of getting the date/time/location you desire, but please feel free to submit a request at any time, especially during off-season. We often book multiple events in one day and availability can change rapidly so submit the request, we'll let you know if it's available. Note: if your request is 7 days or less away, it will be considered short-notice and will incur an additional charge, if it can be accommodated. We will try our best! If applicable, please have an alternate date(s) as a backup plan.
Q: What is the booking process and how do I pay?
A:
-
Submit your Booking Request
-
Complete confirmation call, pay your deposit/invoice and sign your contract
-
ENJOY your fully coordinated, custom, picturesque picnic or event!
When you submit your booking request, you'll simultaneously schedule a confirmation call. On this call, we'll go over everything you need plus go over the next steps of paying the deposit and signing the contract.
When it's time for you to pay, you will receive a secure payment link in your email in which you can pay using debit/credit card, PayPal, Venmo or Apple Pay.
As you near your picnic/event, you will be in contact with your coordinator (via text/call) ensuring all your questions are answered and everything is organized for the day-of.
Q: Do you require a deposit? What is it?
A: Yes - a 30% non-refundable deposit is required to book! This will go towards your entire payment and the remaining balance is due at least 7 days before your picnic/event.
We require a non-refundable deposit because from the moment you submit your request to your picnic/event execution, we are working hard customizing your experience, not just slapping together a table and some pillows. We truly appreciate you seeing the value and quality in our service!
