  • DOES DINE BY DESIGN WITH PIQUE-NIQUE STAY DURING OUR PICNIC?
    No we do not. We leave after the party arrives and return once the picnic reservation ends. Pique-Nique representatives are available by text or call if you need us for any reason during your picnic. Concierge numbers will be provided in your confirmation email.
  • CAN WE LEAVE WHENEVER WE WANT?
    Yes, but please notify Pique-Nique if you would like to leave earlier than the arranged time. You are responsible for the picnic items until a Pique-Nique representative arrives to pack them up.
  • HOW DO I SELECT A LOCATION?
    The Choice is yours! Let us know what location you prefer and we will do our best to accommodate your location request. Please note that there may be an extra fee depending on how difficult it is to get to the location, distance to the location, or any parking fees. We prefer locations be within 50 yards from vehicle access, and may not be able to accommodate the request if we are not able to get our equipment to the requested area.
  • DO YOU CHARGE FOR SMALL CHILDREN?
    Only if you would like them to have their own seat and setting/food. If you prefer them to have their own food and want them to have their own comfortable place to sit, then please include them in the guest count. If you don’t require this option, then it’s okay to leave them out. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us.

    If it looks like bad weather may affect your reservation, we will contact you in advance of your picnic to discuss your options. There is no cancellation charge for rescheduling your picnic due to bad weather.
  • DO I NEED A PERMIT?
    If you select a Pique-Nique preferred location and package, you will not need a permit. If you have a special place in mind, outside of your home, we will let you know if any special permitting is required and help you through that process.
  • WHAT'S YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?
    We will offer a full refund if you cancel 2 weeks prior to an event taking place. Within the two week time frame, we can change your reservation with a minimum of a 72 hour notice.
