Hi, I’m Sembellir “Sem” Worthington, the founder of Vermont Picnic Paradise LLC. I was born and raised in the Philippines, where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Tourism Management. In 2016, I moved to Miami to pursue a hospitality internship, and later in 2019 my family and I relocated to the beautiful state of Vermont to raise our two boys. As a mother and someone who works part-time in the Banquets Department at The Lodge at Spruce Peak, I discovered my true passion for designing and decorating events. I’ve always loved planning gatherings for family and friends and creating beautiful moments people can enjoy together. Living in Vermont inspired me to start Vermont Picnic Paradise — a luxury pop-up picnic experience where families, couples, and friends can celebrate special occasions surrounded by nature. Our goal is simple: to create relaxing, beautifully styled picnics where you can slow down, connect, and make lasting memories.
