Yes, of course. We highly encourage you to bring your own snacks!

In case you don’t feel like packing up snacks for your event, we’ve partnered up with other small local businesses in the area to be able to provide you with:

a) delicious charcuterie boards
b) chocolate-dipped strawberries
c) vanilla tarts (heart-shaped, number-shaped, or letter-shaped)
d) homemade cupcakes
e) custom-made baked cookies

and many other treats! 🙂

We recommend securing your event with us as early as possible. As we enter the warmer weather, our weekends start to fill up quickly. Note: a 50% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your date in our calendar - if this deposit is not received within 48 hours of receiving your invoice, your booking will be cancelled, and you will have to submit the booking form all over again to be re-scheduled. We want to give everyone a chance to book with us!

We understand how unpredictable weather in the DMV can be. We offer two options in case there is rain on your event date.

1. We can move your event indoors (your home or any other covered space you may have available)

or

2. We can reschedule your event to a better date (We will have to double-check availability for you first!)

DreamyPicnic Team will show up at YOUR chosen location 1 or 2 hours PRIOR to your event start time to set everything up. (Arrival time depends on the nature/size of your event).

If your picnic is outdoors, we will text you a pin of the exact location so you can easily find your picnic 10 minutes prior to your start time. We ask that our clients do not arrive on site more than 10 minutes earlier as you may find our team still setting up which will ruin the element of surprise. (We can stay, greet you and take some pics of you and guests UPON request only).

We will return back on site when your event is over to pack-up. You do not have to wait for our team’s arrival- feel free to head onto your next adventure for the day! Basically, all you have to do is dress up, show up and celebrate! We’ll handle the rest.

Here’s how payment works:In order to reserve and secure your preferred date in our calendar, we require the client to submit at least 50% non-refundable deposit.

The remaining 50% is due 7-days prior to your event. If the initial deposit is not submitted to secure your date, somebody else will be able to book us for your same event date and time.

So make sure to lock-in your date with us as soon as possible! If you wish to submit full payment immediately, you will be able to do so when you receive your invoice via email.
‍

We require a 50% non-refundable deposit at the time of booking to secure your event date + time with us.
