Luxury Picnics in Chicago

Chicago Luxury Picnic & Decoration by Paula sets up styled picnics for two or for twenty, with the spot, the décor, the setup and the cleanup handled for you, from the lakefront to backyards across Chicagoland.

Paula plans your picnic around the spot first, because the right spot makes everything else easier. She knows which lakefront lawns stay quiet on a Saturday, which beaches catch the evening light and when a backyard is simply the smarter call.

Search for a luxury picnic in Chicago or a picnic setup company and you mostly find rentals that arrive in a box. Here you get a designer who builds the whole table, from wooden tables and floor cushions to fresh flowers, candles and real dinnerware, in colors chosen with you. For bigger groups she keeps you on the right side of Chicago Park District rules, which call for a permit once an outdoor gathering reaches 50 people or adds a tent. You arrive to a finished setting and leave without folding a single rug.

Picnic for Two

An anniversary, a birthday surprise or a date you want to remember deserves more than a dinner reservation. Paula’s picnic for two is a low table, two plush cushions, fresh flowers and candlelight, set where the view does the rest. She has planned surprise birthdays for wives and moms and date setups on the beach, coordinating quietly so your person never sees it coming.

Group & Celebration Picnics

Group picnics start with your headcount and your location, then Paula sizes the tables, cushions and décor to fit. Bachelorettes, baby showers, graduations, gender reveals and team outings have all gathered at her long tables in parks, on beaches and in backyards. She can add a separate table for the food and drinks you bring and handles setup and teardown from start to finish.
