Two Sides of the Same Chicago Party: Charismatic Hosts and a Picnic Built for Slowing Down
In one sunlit loft downtown, a host in a signature bow tie and cuffs is topping off champagne while a dozen women fall apart laughing over a drinking game, the bride-to-be watching from the couch with a sash and a grin she can't shake. Across town, on a different afternoon, another bride is unwrapping gifts on a low-profile picnic spread — cushions, coordinated place settings, string lights catching the last of the sun — while her closest friends take turns with the camera. Same city, same standard of "we've got the details handled," and both scenes trace back to one Chicago operation working both sides of the party spectrum.
A Luxury Picnic Party Made for Chicago's Skyline and Lakefront
Her boyfriend isn't the planning type. So when he wanted to propose somewhere unforgettable, he called in help: a private setup by the water, right as the sun started dropping behind the skyline. Low tables, cushions, a charcuterie spread, a photographer tucked far enough away to stay out of the moment but close enough to catch it. He didn't have to think about a single detail. She said yes, and the whole thing looked like it belonged in a magazine.

A true luxury picnic experience with the nicest folks!
LOVE Chi Picnic Club! The devil is in the details and they thought of everything. My friend and I had so much fun and will definitely do an event with them again!
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chi Picnic Club on multiple events, and they are always amazing to work with. Their setups are so thoughtfully styled, beautifully put together, and photograph incredibly well. Every detail feels intentional, and it makes such a difference when capturing the final result. They’re also organized, communicative, professional, and genuinely easy to work with. Every collaboration has felt smooth from start to finish, and it’s clear how much care they put into creating a beautiful experience. I would absolutely recommend Chi Picnic Club for anyone looking for a gorgeous, well designed picnic or event setup in Chicago.
I absolutely loved hosting an event with ChiPicnic Club! The founders, Ben and Jay, put so much thought and care into every detail of their picnic setups and truly make every event feel so special. They are wonderful to work with, always go above and beyond, and create the most beautiful experiences! ✨🧺 …
Chi Picnic Club was one of the most unique and fun events I’ve been to in Chicago! Both of the events I went to were beautifully arranged and the hosts were super sweet and great to talk to. I also got to meet some amazing people to bond with. Will definitely be back at one of their events soon!!
Chi Picnic Club is an exceptional company. They were wonderful partners to work with on a fairly demanding picnic event—accessible, adaptable, and affable the whole way through. The result was a stunning tablescape that our guests loved. I highly recommend reaching out if you're considering them!
Cute set up and lots of fun!
Beautiful setup and very kind people. 10/10 would book again!
Janniel’s attention to details, attentiveness and always going above and beyond truly shows how passionate he is about his business and customers. Highly recommends booking his services for your next event!
Had such a great experience with Chi Picnic Club! The setup was absolutely stunning - we came to celebrate a friend's birthday and ended up sharing laughs with strangers and meeting some genuinely great new people. Our event was an waterside afternoon picnic at Montrose Harbor. You could tell the event was really well thought out and put together, down to the smallest details. For everything included, the price was fantastic value. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, well-organized way to spend time with friends.
They did such an amazing job with my daughter's bridal shower. She said it was a dream come true and everything she had imagined for her special day. Every detail was beautifully executed, and the food was fantastic as well. I highly recommend them for any special occasion!
They did an amazing job helping me plan a bridal shower picnic for my best friend. Since I was planning everything from out of town, I really appreciated how smooth and stress-free they made the entire process. Even though the weather wasn't on our side, they went above and beyond to find a solution so we could still celebrate without having to reschedule. Everything was beautiful, and my friends and I had the perfect time. I will definitely be booking again in the future!
This was our second picnic experience, and it was absolutely amazing! Everything was made so special for my friend's bridal brunch. We added the 30-minute photography session and a sweets board, and it was the perfect touch. I would highly recommend this experience for any special event or date night!
We booked a beach picnic for my bachelorette party, and it was absolutely amazing! Everything was perfectly arranged, from the beautiful setup to the thoughtful décor. It created the special, fun, and relaxing atmosphere we were hoping for. Everyone had a fantastic time, and I can't recommend this experience enough! And the complimentary photoshoot was literally chef's kiss! ✨✨✨✨ So thankful!
They did an amazing job setting up for my bf’s proposal. My bf isn’t someone who is good at planning whatsoever and with their help, he was able to put together a beautiful moment for us. By the water looking over the skyline, at sunset, on a perfect day. They provided charcuterie and a few other things. They also provided photography services and I’m in loveee. They captured the moment really well. They did not intrude at all and were so friendly. Their entire setup was on point. Definitely would use them again for our anniversary!
They did not disappoint—I absolutely loved it! The arrangement was stunning and exceeded all of my expectations. Everything was so beautiful. Communication was excellent, clear, and consistent leading up to my birthday, and the team was incredibly friendly and attentive to any needs we had. I would definitely book again—it was worth every penny! Overall, 5 stars across the board!
