General FAQs
What type of events do you plan?
Everything! We've planned banquets, birthday celebrations, retirement parties, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, performance shows, picnics, afternoon teas, kid's parties, trivia nights, classes/workshops, retreats, conferences, webinars, and more. We've planned in-person, virtual, and hybrid events, with attendance ranging from a few to thousands of people. Anything you have in mind, we can help!
What's the difference between event design and event planning?
Event design involves the aesthetic and atmosphere of your event, including the theme, colors, centerpieces, linens, props, and more. This is where the elements personalized to the client come into play. Event planning involves the logistical success of your event, including vendor management (venue, catering, entertainment, photography, etc.), safety compliance, budget management, and more. Both concepts work together to create a successful experience for the client and guests.
What services do you offer?
We offer a range of services, from event design to day-of coordination to full event planning and set-up, and more. Every event is unique, so we offer services to fit your needs and budget.
What are your fees?
The cost will depend upon the scale and nature of the event, complexity of planning, and our level of involvement. We will work with your budget and plan accordingly. You won't be charged more than what we agree upon.

Picnic FAQs
What areas do you service?
Picnics are available for set-up in the Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC areas. We deliver free of charge within 15 miles of the 21202 zip code. A travel fee is added for picnics outside that range.
Where can I have a picnic?
Anywhere that we are legally allowed to be and have the capacity to set up our supplies. Examples include parks, gardens, alongside lakes, backyards, decks/patios, living rooms, basements, community rooms, rooftops, etc. We can set-up indoors or outdoors! Need help figuring out a location? Just ask us! Please note that the client is responsible for obtaining any necessary permits for a location.
How long does the picnic last?
Picnics last 2 hours from the start of your booking time. Additional time can be purchased for $50 per hour. If you need to leave your picnic site prior to the 2 hour time mark, please give us a 30-minute grace period to return to the picnic site. Your picnic site should never be left unattended.
Can I bring my own food and beverages?
Yes! We do not provide food, so guests are encouraged to bring their own food or have food delivered from their favorite eatery. We also provide assistance to you in locating a food vendor. Consumption of alcoholic beverages and infused foods is solely on the guests to know, understand, and follow all state and local ordinances and laws regarding consumption of these items at your site.
How do I book a picnic?
Please use the booking calendar to reserve a date and time, specifying your desired theme and any add-ons you would like. Please allow up to 2 business days for us to respond to your request. Once your booking request has been approved you will receive an email with more details. All bookings require a 50% non-refundable booking deposit. You have 24 hours to pay your deposit to hold your requested date and time. If your deposit is not paid your date will be released for booking. Full payment is due 7 days later or 3 days prior to the event date, whichever occurs first.
What is the Security Deposit fee that I am being charged?
All bookings require a $100 refundable Security Deposit fee to incur the cost of any damages to materials and equipment. Use of the standing beverage wall requires an additional $125 refundable security deposit fee. The client is liable for the replacement or repair of any damaged items at the event. The Security Deposit paid by the client covers additional cleaning, damages, unscheduled time/overtime, additional guests, and is a refundable deposit if all conditions are met. The unused fee will be refunded to the client within 7 days after the event.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Payments for bookings can be made via HoneyBook with a credit card. Additionally, depending on the event, we also accept Zelle, Venmo, and CashApp.
What is your cancellation policy?
We do not offer refunds once payment is received, except for the refundable Security Deposit. Guests are allowed one reschedule request, and rescheduled picnics must occur within 90 days of the original event date. All requests to reschedule must be made in writing at least 72 hours before your scheduled event, and the new date and time must be approved by us. The client is responsible for payments to and the rescheduling of any services booked with other vendors.
What if it rains?
You can rent our 10x10 canopy tent or relocate your picnic to an alternate indoor location. We will not set-up picnics during rain or on wet ground. We offer a one-time rescheduling option with 72 hours advance notice.
