Host a picnic with Picnic Parlour, ATX: Austin Luxury Picnics

Have you been wanting to host for friends and family without having to deal with the setup and clean up? 

An Austin small business is now available to help you create a dreamy luxury picnic experience for any occasion. 

All you have to do is choose your picnic style, place, and time and Picnic Parlour, ATX: Austin Luxury Picnics will arrive one hour before your reservation and have everything ready for you before you arrive! At the end of your reservation, their crew will also come back to clean up.

Their picnics can be set up almost anywhere in Austin if it’s a private location like your house or yard. They also have pre-selected picnic locations, which can be found while booking. 

Permit or venue fees may apply to some locations. A mileage fee will also be added to any package for locations over 25 miles from 78723.

Picnic Parlour, ATX no longer sets up picnics at Zilker Park, Auditorium Shores, and Mount Bonnell. 

"We love these parks, but Austin Parks and Rec. has prohibited luxury picnics at these locations," Picnic Parlour, ATX explains on their website. "You may see other companies setting up at these parks, but they are risking having their picnic shut down and incurring a fine."
