I am the owner of The CT Picnic Co., a luxury pop-up picnic and small event planning business that I ran in Hartford, Connecticut as part of a sister duo. Before closing, my business focused on designing highly customized and whimsical picnic experiences, where every setup was carefully styled to create a memorable, Pinterest-inspired atmosphere. We specialized in transforming outdoor spaces into elegant, luxury tablescapes tailored for meaningful celebrations. Our core services included fully styled event experiences for occasions such as bachelorette parties, birthdays, proposals, bridal showers, and micro-weddings. Alongside the event styling, we also offered curated food experiences, including aesthetic fruit platters and premium charcuterie grazing boards designed to match the theme and visual identity of each event. We primarily operated across Connecticut, providing pop-up picnic setups in a variety of locations such as private backyards, public parks, and beachside areas, depending on the client’s preference and event style. For those seeking similar luxury picnic experiences in Connecticut today, there are a few active alternatives in the market, including CT XOXOXO Luxury Picnics, which offers custom-designed picnic setups in parks, beaches, and private spaces, and Picnics & Things, which specializes in detailed styled picnic experiences paired with curated charcuterie and grazing boards. Overall, my work with The CT Picnic Co. centered on creating elegant, stress-free, and visually stunning outdoor event experiences that felt personal, creative, and unforgettable for every client.
