We can accommodate both outdoor and indoor picnic locations! We will do our best to accommodate your location request. We can also offer you several local parks for your event from our list. Package prices for “Full service” picnics include delivery within 20 miles in the North Dallas area. Delivery to suburbs outside of this radius will incur additional delivery fees.

If a “Full service” picnic has been booked, parking within 50 meters of the picnic location must be available. Access must also be flat. Maximum distance from parking to picnic spot with additional staff is 100 meters.

Parking within close vicinity to the entrance/ loading dock of the desired picnic location must be provided to the hire company if delivery is requested. If parking is not provided/available and metered parking is required, any fees incurred will be deducted from the bond. If delivery is to a high rise building the client must meet the driver with a trolley at the car and escort them up to the destination.
