We recommend booking at least one month in advance due to scheduling and possible permit requirements. If you have a special event, or special date, please book as soon as possible as we already have a lot of bookings for the remainder of the year. A minimum of 14 days notice is required for bookings and any booking with less than 14 day notice is subject to additional fees.

To secure your date, please fill out the booking form on our contact page. We will email you our proposal and booking confirmation with your desired date, time, and instructions.

After you sign our services, and pay half of the picnic, we can reschedule you for another day, or for a future date, but we do not give refunds. Please let us know as soon as possible if your date no longer works, so we can give the opportunity to someone else.
