Here's a blog post tailored for your luxury picnic business:


Why I Started My Luxury Picnic Business

If you’ve ever wondered why I started my luxury picnic business, let me take you behind the scenes and share my heart with you. It’s more than just pretty setups and Instagram-worthy moments (although, yesss, we love those too!). My luxury picnics were born out of a deep desire to bring people back together, create inclusive experiences for families, give back to my community, and—most importantly—find a little peace for myself in the process.

Bringing People Back Together After COVID

We all know the world changed after COVID. Suddenly, we were distant—physically and emotionally. The simple joy of gathering with friends and family felt like a luxury we had taken for granted. I wanted to create an experience that brought people back together in a safe, intimate, and beautiful way. My picnics aren’t just about food and aesthetics; they’re about reconnecting, laughing, and making memories that truly matter.

Creating a Space for Families, Including Kids with Disabilities

As a mother of a son with autism, I know firsthand how hard it can be to find inclusive experiences that cater to every family member’s needs. Many parents, especially those with children with disabilities, struggle to find relaxing, judgment-free spaces where their kids can just be themselves. My luxury picnics offer families a chance to enjoy quality time together—without the stress. Whether it’s sensory-friendly setups, safe spaces for kids to roam, or simply the understanding that every family dynamic is unique, I wanted to create something that welcomed everyone.

Giving Back to My Community

Community is everything to me. I wanted my business to be about more than just luxury picnics; I wanted it to be a way to give back. Whether it’s hosting special events, collaborating with local businesses, or finding ways to make my picnics accessible to more people, my heart is in every detail. There’s something so powerful about seeing people come together, support one another, and share moments of pure joy.

Sharing My Talents with the World

I've always had a love for design, creativity, and making ordinary moments feel extraordinary. My picnics allow me to share that passion with the world. Every detail, from the table settings to the floral arrangements, is a reflection of the love I pour into this business. I truly believe that beautiful experiences have the power to uplift and inspire, and I’m grateful every day that I get to create those moments for others.

Finding Time for Myself as a Mom

Running a business while being a mom—especially to a child with autism—is no small feat. But one of the unexpected gifts of starting my luxury picnic company was finding a way to carve out moments for myself. Being able to work from home and create these dreamy experiences allowed me to take breaks, breathe, and prioritize my own well-being while still doing something I love.

Starting this business wasn’t just about creating beautiful picnics; it was about creating meaningful experiences—for others and for myself. Whether you’re celebrating love, friendship, or simply the beauty of life, I’d love to help make your moments magical.

So, if you’re ready to unplug, reconnect, and indulge in a little luxury, let’s plan a picnic together. 💕
