On the day of your picnic, you will receive a text message when we arrive on-site, a location pin, and when your picnic is ready so you’re not arriving mid-setup. There will be a 10 minute grace period, otherwise, you will be forfeiting your picnic as we cannot leave our setups unattended and may have other client setups to attend to. We ask that you please plan accordingly to arrive on time. There will be no exceptions.
