How does it work?
The first step in creating your picnic process is:
Choose your date
Fill out our booking form and your party information (location, theme, occasion)
And we take care of the rest!
You will be sent the precise location of your set up an hour prior to your reservation. All you have to do is show up and have a good time. All set up & tear down is covered by us. Your only job: enjoy yourself!
Is food provided? Can I bring my own food?
We do not offer any food options at this time. We provide all proper dining-ware, drinking glasses, and utensils, ready for your arrival and any other goodies you may bring! We supply complimentary soft drinks, sparkling water, and lemonade. Guests are more than welcome to bring any food items, snacks, cakes, cupcakes, and additional beverages.
Can I bring my own decorations?
Yes you can! All we ask is that you be mindful of keeping our beaches clean, and properly dispose of your own decorations accordingly. Confetti is prohibited on California beaches.
Do you supply cakes? Alcohol?
Unfortunately we do not supply specialty cakes, but are more than happy to provide cake stands and cutting utensils upon request. We do not provide alcohol options.
Can I reschedule my picnic?
Absolutely! We aim to be as flexible as possible with our clients, we understand that life happens. All we ask is a 72-hour notice in advance to rescheduling your picnic, as we serve multiple picnics throughout the week and strive to be able to accommodate all bookings.
Is there a rescheduling fee?
There is no fee to reschedule in advance, but we do charge a $150 fee for same-day cancellations or no shows.
How much will my picnic cost?
We have a pricing list for all party sizes that you can find here. Our prices vary per head, as well as our individually priced add-ons.
When filling out your booking form, you will see the “total price” of $100. That is the security deposit cost, not the total of your picnic. Your new total is updated as you select your guest count and additional add-ons. Each customer receives a receipt from their purchase, and we supply invoices upon request.
What does it mean, “My picnic is subject to location change?”
When it comes to the beach, there are many unforeseen hazards. Some days can bring unexpected large swells and high tides, fierce winds, and morning mists that leave the sand damp, and just a little less dry than our liking! Here at the Beach Picnic Company, our client’s safety and enjoyment of their picnic experience is our number one priority. While rare, we include a disclaimer that your location is subject to change as the beach environment may change in any unprecedented circumstances (tsunami watch, high tides, smoky air quality). We may advise in advance or recommend a new location depending on the factors of the day and weather.
What happens if there is unexpected bad weather the day of my picnic?
We want you to enjoy your picnic to the fullest, and unpredictable weather does happen. If poor weather appears last minute that poses a potential hazard to the picnic, (high winds, rain, etc.) there is no same-day rescheduling fee, and we will be happy to discuss rescheduling your picnic.
Is there a deposit fee?
We require a $100 non-refundable deposit to confirm your booking. The remainder of your payment must be paid day of your event, no exceptions. The deposit comes out of the final total of your picnic.
Bookings are not confirmed until we receive your deposit. As we receive multiple inquiries each week, we cannot hold dates.
Does the Beach Picnic Team stay on site? What if I need something mid-picnic?
Our team always stays within a 15 minute distance to accommodate your picnic, whether you need an extra utensil, cup, or a hug - The Beach Picnic Team is always nearby.
Can I walk away from my picnic set up at any time?
We do not recommend you leave your picnic set up unaccompanied for more than 10 minutes. While you are enjoying your two hour experience, you are responsible for our picnic items!
And another note.. seagulls like picnics too.
What if I need to leave my picnic early?
That’s no problem, if you gotta go - you gotta go! All we ask is that you give your picnic team member a 10 minute heads up so we can return back to site as you leave.
