It depends on how many guests will be in attendance and where you choose for your location. We will let you know in advance.

While we understand accidents happen, there will be a fee per item broken or a flat spill fee of $45 (for items that can be dry cleaned).
Do we only choose from the locations on your list?
We do recommend you stick with locations from our list because they do not require permit fees (unless over 20 people) and no additional travel fees. If you would like to do it at another park, beach, backyard, or other location, within the county limits, we would be more than happy to. Outside the county limits, travels fees will be applied ($1.25 per mile). You can also follow us on Instagram to check out when we will be doing surprise Pop Up locations with no extra travel fees (OC, LA, Palm Springs).
Can you guarantee our picnic location on the beach?
Beaches are a public space, on top of that there are crowds, tides, events, and more. We always will do our best to get you that perfect spot but it is never guaranteed.
Do I get to keep anything?
The only thing you are allowed to keep is the bouquet of flowers (ONLY IF YOU PAID FOR THE ADD ON) & the Polaroid photos you take. If you would like to bring home charcuterie board left overs, please bring your own Tupperware.
