Absolutely Magical Experience! We hired The Charming Picnic for our daughter's 11th birthday, and Charmaine completely knocked it out of the park. Our daughter wanted a chic, bohemian-themed picnic for her and her friends, and what Charmaine delivered was beyond anything we imagined. She arrived early, set up everything flawlessly, and even threw in extra touches that made the setup feel straight out of a magazine. The décor was stunning, the food portions were generous, and every detail showed how much pride she takes in her work. What really stood out was Charmaine herself -- her positive energy, organization, and creativity made the whole experience effortless and fun. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and it truly was. If you're looking for someone who will transform your event into something charming, unforgettable, and totally stress-free -- look no further than Charmaine and The Charming Picnic.

I'm having a Monica Geller moment... "I'M ENGAGED!! I'M ENGAGED!!!" and such a huge part of that moment is all thanks to Charmaine and the Charming Picnic for helping my fiancé curate the perfect setting to propose! Setting: Dana Point, CA Time: 5:15/5:30pm Weather: Sunny, 70's Most of what I have to say next is from my fiancé's words since he worked with Charmaine directly (and doesn't have Yelp lol) In three words: responsive, detail-oriented, generous He contacted The Charming Picnic roughly two weeks before proposing, she provided a detail service list and from there they started planning. She had sent example pictures of location and past work so he could get a full idea of what to expect. On the day of the proposal, Charmaine stayed in constant contact with him to ensure that the proposal was as seamless as possible. Her and her partner were waiting hidden to capture the big moment. Afterwards, she made sure we got plenty of candid photos and answering any questions we had. I've been following the Charming Picnic for awhile now and couldn't believe that they were the ones my then bf called. I was so so excited and hopefully soon, (anniversary maybe?) we can utilize their services again! read more

The charming picnic was the most perfect way to celebrate my anniversary with my husband and toddlers. It was nice that the kids could ride their bikes, go in and out of the teepee and snack on crackers and fruit. Charmaine was so sweet to give the kids baby goldfish and it went well what the chalkboard said "last anniversary as a fam of 4" I have seen a lot of other companies that do this but I really liked this company's' food and decor the best. I highly recommend this picnic for any celebration!! It was a fun and memorable experience. read more

The picnic was cautiously prepared and had been thoroughly sanitized which really gave the me peace of mind needed to enjoy the celebration at hand! Not only was it safe, but it was stunning and packed with goodies catered to all kinds palates!

The Charming Picnic - A spread that looks as good as it tastes! - Party & Event Planning Near Me

The PERFECT wedding anniversary. In a time with COVID, I almost didn't even attempt to plan a special day for my husband and myself. Then I found The Charming Picnic and much like my marriage, it was love at first sight. From the socially distanced set up, great communication and amazing included options, everything went off without a hitch and looked like something straight out of The Bachelor. My husband was surprised, my kids were happy, and we could have sat there forever. Truly. It got dark and the twinkle lights made it feel so magical. We danced for hours in the sand and ate the delicious spread and got to go home with flowers. Highly recommend and will definitely be using again! read more

My apartment complex recently hosted a Halloween Boo-vie night, and The Charming Picnic was one of the vendors. They provided movie snack boxes for each RSVP'd guest. The presentation was really nice, and the snack box was basically a charcuterie board consisting of salami, cheese, crackers, grapes, strawberries, and cookies. It was SO delicious and a very generous amount!!! I've been munching on it for several days now :D read more

During these unprecedented times she took all safety precautions to keep us safe which was very reassuring. The surprise was executed perfectly and it wouldn't have been possible without Charmaine. Excellent communication, very caring, and takes pride in her work. Thank you, Charmaine! read more

I hired Charmaine for my daughters 1st birthday party. I was more into the esthetics and details she was able to provide, when making my decision. First, she came over to understand the landscape she would be working with. We talked around several options when detailing the final plans. She included foods, drinks, and so much more! We got so many compliments around the decor and parry as a whole and it's all thanks to Charmaine and her team. I've passed along all of her information to most of the party attendees because that's how much they liked her work. I intent to hire her for future events as well.
