How does a picnic booking work?

We set up your picnic of choice and have it ready upon arrival. We will 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.

Are there specific locations for your picnic set ups?

Our picnics can be set up anywhere around Jacksonville, whether it be a private location (e.g. your house or backyard) or a public location (e.g. a park or a beach). We have a list of preferred locations, but we are happy to accommodate any specific requests to the greatest extent possible. **Picnics outside of Jacksonville, Florida may be accomodated with an additional travel fee**
