FAQS
What locations do you offer?
Can we choose an alternate location?
If you have another particular location in mind, let us know and we will assess to ensure it is a feasible option for your picnic. May involve an additional travel fee to cover mileage and time.
Do you set up in homes and backyards?
Of course! The best thing about having a picnic in your own home or backyard is you have complete privacy and access to facilities such as a clean bathroom.
How do I book?
Please send your enquiry through to info@purelypicnics.com.au, or send a direct enquiry form from our contact page.
How far in advance do I need to book a picnic?
We require at least 7 days notice of a picnic with the exception of if we have last minute cancellations or availability. Please bear in mind, the earlier you enquire for a date, the better chance you will have to secure it in. Sometimes we book out as far as 3 months in advance.
How far in advance do I need to make a platter order?
We require at least 3 days notice of a platter order and is subject to our availability
What themes do you offer for group picnics?
You may choose from Bohemian, Chic, Coastal or customise your own such as 'Baby Boy' for baby showers. If you have a preferred colour scheme or another theme, we can discuss this further too.
What happens in the event of spillages or breakages?
Large spills requiring dry cleaning will incur a cleaning fee and breakages will need replacing. These costs will be deducted from your security bond. Upon booking your picnic, we send through a document outlining costs associated with spillages/breakages.
What is the maximum number of guests your picnics can cater?
Currently, due to Covid, we are only able to cater for maximum 20 guests.
What if I have dietary requirements?
Purely Picnics can make alterations to cater for any dietary requirements/intolerances. Please advise us of any requirements and we will offer alternative menu options.
What is the process on the day of our event?
We will have the set up ready for the agreed start time. We ask that you send us a text when you are 10 minutes away so we can finalise the last minute touches. We will wait until you arrive before heading off unless we have specified otherwise.
What if I'm running late to the agreed start time?
We ask that you let us know if you are running late as we want your grazing spread to be freshly served before your arrival.
Can we hire the picnic set up for longer than the package duration?
Yes you can, subject to the availability. Extra hourly charges or overnight hire costs are required. Hiring the set up for longer than the package duration must be booked and paid for in advance.
What happens in the event of inclement weather?
What food is provided in your catered picnics?
Our catered picnic packages include a deluxe antipasto grazing platter but we do have the option of a high tea menu for group picnics too.
