Picturesque Luxury Picnics

Q: What is Picturesque Luxury Picnics?
A: The first and finest luxury picnic business in the Poconos is now an award-winning experience expanding past the Poconos, serving tri-state (select areas in PA, NJ and New York). Each setting is intentionally designed to spark connection, elevate the moment, and create the kind of memories that linger long after the last sunset fades.
From outdoor elegance to cozy indoor and luxury dome picnics, we handle the details so all you have to do is arrive and be fully present. Available year-round, Picturesque is the modern, effortless way to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments in style.
Q: Why choose us (and not the other guys or DIY)?
A: Easy. Not only are we the most highly recognized luxury picnic service in the Poconos and beyond, we offer full coordination, unique partnerships supporting local businesses, 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 alcohol?
A: We don’t supply alcohol, but we love helping you elevate your celebration with the perfect pour. At SOME partnered wineries, you can pre-select your wines for us to have beautifully set at your table (ID required) or order your favorites during your event.
For other locations, guests are welcome to BYOB where permitted—it’s your responsibility to ensure alcohol is allowed at your chosen location. National parks do not ever allow alcohol.
Q: Do you provide food & beverages?
A: While we’re not caterers, we offer food options so you can simply arrive and indulge. Our most popular choice—our partner hand-curated charcuterie boards and tea sandwiches—are designed to elevate your experience with exquisite flavors and effortless convenience.
Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available for the charcuterie. You’re also welcome to bring your own food (restrictions apply) unless your chosen venue requires on-site purchases, which we’ll discuss during your confirmation call.
Q: Har far do you travel?
A: We proudly serve guests within a 50-mile radius of our HQ in Bartonsville, PA, extending throughout Northeast Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and even parts of Upstate New York.
Location approvals are handled on a case-by-case basis, as travel depends on the day’s event schedule. If your desired location is beyond our range, we’ll gladly review your request and do our best to accommodate. Travel rates are calculated per event and are not included in our package starting prices, but will be added to your itemized invoice.
Q: How far in advance should I book?
A: We recommend booking at least 4 weeks in advance during peak season (May–October) and 2 weeks during off-season (November–April). Our events are in high demand and dates often fill quickly, so the sooner you reserve, the better your chances of securing your ideal time and location.
Requests within 14 days are considered short-notice and may include an additional fee if accommodation is possible. We’ll always do our best to make it happen—securing a backup date with our Elite Event Assurance helps us serve you seamlessly (see below).
Q: What about WEATHER?
A:
72-Hour Courtesy Window
(Cancellations, Rescheduling, Relocation)
All cancellations, rescheduling or relocating decisions must be made no later than 72 hours before the event, for reasons including weather concerns, illness, travel delays, emergencies or personal matters. Our third-party vendors (charcuterie, balloons, photography, baked goods, etc.) may have different policies.
Your Options
-
Reschedule: One-time complimentary reschedule within 12 months (subject to availability).
-
Cancel: A full refund of your balance will be issued, minus the 30% non-refundable deposit plus any non-refundable third-party vendor costs.
-
Relocate: Move indoors, if you have an alternate location planned (Airbnb, home, etc.)
-
If no decision is made by the 72-hour mark and weather prevents setup, your event will be canceled without refund.
Elite Event Assurance
(HIGHLY Recommended Enhancement)
