Common questions
How long do we get the picnic set up for?+
Boujee and Basic Picnic Hire run for a maximum of 4 hours. We keep an eye on the event and stay in contact with the organiser throughout — setup and pack-down happen outside that window, so you get the full 4 hours to enjoy.
What are your delivery fees?+
We travel across Victoria — as far as Geelong and down to Sorrento, and everywhere in between. Delivery is charged from our base in Sandringham and covers delivery, setup and pick-up: $40 local, $70 for 2–10km, $110 for 10–20km, $160 for 20–40km. Beyond 40km, get in touch directly for pricing. General food/rubbish clean-up is a separate optional add-on — see our clean-up service.
Is there a minimum spend?+
For intimate picnics of 4 guests or fewer, a $300 minimum spend applies across all our packages. From 6 guests up, our standard pricing applies.
Do I need to pay a deposit?+
Yes — a 50% deposit is required to confirm your booking, with the remaining balance due before your event date.
Can you help with food and drinks?+
Yes — we prepare and provide the food ourselves. • Premium picnic canapes: sausage rolls, sandwiches, chicken bites, fruits and sweet treats (delivery included, no extra fee) • Dietary requirements catered for at $10 + GST per person • Final guest numbers and dietary requirements can be confirmed up to 10 days before your picnic, with your invoice adjusted accordingly • Drinks: choose from Cheeky Few Drinks, a non-alcoholic package, or Make It Boozy — or BYO/none at all • Boujee and Relaxed Boujee both include ice and ice buckets for BYO drinks; this can be added to Basic Picnic Hire for $20
What's your cancellation policy?+
Cancel more than 5 days before your event and we'll charge a 10% cancellation fee. Cancel within 5 days of your event and your 50% deposit is forfeited.
What happens if it rains?+
We're flexible with weather — we're happy to change your date or move to an indoor venue where possible (we don't have our own indoor space, but we'll help find one, subject to availability). For light drizzle, some parks have pergolas we can set up under instead. On hot days, we lean on natural tree shade in Melbourne's parklands; on windy days, we bring rug weights and sturdier glassware.
What COVID-safety measures are in place?+
Hand sanitiser, staff and equipment sanitisation, and QR code check-ins are all standard. If you're a close contact, we can arrange a postponement.
Do you clean up after us?+
We always pack down and take away everything we bring. General food and rubbish clean-up is optional — happy to leave that to you, or add our clean-up service for $50 per 10 guests if you'd rather we handle it.
What if something gets damaged?+
Please don't leave the picnic equipment unattended, and treat it with care — broken or missing items are invoiced to the organiser at replacement cost.
Do public holidays cost extra?+
A 15% event management fee applies on public holiday weekends/weekdays and for large-scale events (50+ guests or corporate) — it's a single 15% fee even if both apply, not two separate charges.
