Frequently Asked Questions for The Poconos’ Original Luxury Picnic Experience: Award-Winning & Perfect for Bachelorettes

Question 1

What is Picturesque Luxury Picnics?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Why choose us (and not the other guys or DIY)?

Accepted Answer

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!

Question 3

Do you provide alcohol?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Do you provide food & beverages?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

How far do you travel?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

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).

Question 7

What about WEATHER?

Accepted Answer

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):
Upgrade to Elite Event Assurance to secure one GUARANTEED backup date at the time of booking - best for weather uncertainty and the what-ifs of life.
If your original date is affected for ANY reason, your event will move to the backup date.
If both dates are affected for any reason, the event will be canceled as outlined above (because only one reschedule is permitted.)
Elite Event Assurance is a non-refundable upgrade. Your secondary date is exclusively held in advance, often requiring us to decline other bookings, whether you end up using that date or not. We thank you for your understanding and respect of this policy.

Question 8

How do I book and pay?

Accepted Answer

Submit Your Request "Book Us" Tab – Fill out your event details
Confirmation Call – During your scheduled confirmation call, we’ll finalize your vision, review next steps, and send your secure deposit link and contract.
Relax & Enjoy – Your coordinator will stay in touch as needed to ensure every detail is perfectly prepared.
Payments can be made easily via debit/credit card, and select electronic payment methods (varies). From your first call to your final toast, we handle the details so you can simply arrive and enjoy your picturesque experience.

Question 9

Do you require a deposit?

Accepted Answer

Yes – a 30% non-refundable deposit of the total invoice is required to reserve your event and initiate coordination. This deposit covers vendor commitments, inventory preparation, and design time. It will not be refunded under any circumstances, including cancellations for any reason (weather, emergencies, etc.)
