Frequently Asked Questions
How much notice is needed to book a picnic?
If at all possible we would prefer a week in advance but we have been known to pull off some pretty AMAZING last minute picnics when our schedule permits!
Do you setup in a set location or can we choose a location?
We offer a beautiful, secluded picnic location in Yucca Valley surrounded by Joshua Trees, rock formations and an abundance of nature plus there is a bathroom conveniently located so it truly is a perfect spot! Picnics can be setup in Joshua Tree National Park or if you prefer a picnic setup at your Air BNB or in your own personal backyard we are able to accommodate you for an additional $400 minimum setup fee/equipment transport charge.

What if we want a larger picnic than what you offer on your website?
If you have a larger group, please call us to discuss your picnic date & needs. We can make arrangements for nearly any size of group.
What is your cancellation policy?
A signed contract plus a 50% deposit is required upon booking. We do not refund deposits as we reserved this date and time especially for you and it is difficult for us to re-book the space last minute. If the weather is not cooperating on your scheduled picnic date, we will reschedule your picnic to another date of your choice OR if you live in the area or are staying in an Air BNB we can easily setup your picnic indoors. Cozy indoor picnics can also be romantic and fun on those cold & windy autumn or winter days!
