Their website has the different packages they offer. You can always ask if there are things you want customized or changes to see if she can make it work for you. Sarah took care of decorations, party favors and themed utensils for me. Her team did the set up, and later returned for the clean up. All I really did was order the catering. The whole thing was stress free. If there were things I wanted added, I just text her and she would let me know if she can do them. She always made it work!

I contacted other picnic companies, but I picked Picnic Story because of Freya's kindness, the straightforward process, the beautiful set-up, and the affordable pricing!

There was a sip n paint night here hosted in early January with a fashion show put on by TrapxArt. I stayed for the sip n paint only, where we were given one drink ticket. My friend wasn't drinking for the month of January, so good thing they have NA beverages here. I also think their happy hour at Torch starts at 5, but I'm not too sure of how often this rooftop bar is open. Anyway, we sipped, we painted and we listened to music. My friend and I were also sitting outdoors on this rainy evening, but the rooftop was covered and the heated lights were in full effect. This sip n paint wasn't one where they gave instruction. Instead, they had drawings of artists like Nipsey Hussle, Aaliyah, TLC, Tupac, etc. I got lucky with the last Chris Brown one, but it was a hard decision between him and Nip. I opted not to mess up Nip. RIP. Now, for the food I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't know what to expect, though I knew they were serving food. You wanna know what it was? Gumbo! The gumbo was smackin. Only $20 and I ate about half, saving the rest for later. I didn't stay for the fashion show, but it was a packed event that started to gain more of an audience after 9pm once the sip n paint was over. I gathered my painting and my umbrella and dipped to Clio's.
