About Us
Making your event Pretty as a Picnic.
Founded in January 2020, Pretty as a picnic quickly became the most 'instagrammable' way to celebrate in Sydney. Our passion is to make your day truly special and hassle free. We offer the full package of beautiful picnic set ups with quality catering in gorgeous locations.
​
2020 was an odd year to start a business and like many other businesses, Pretty as a picnic had to adapt during the global pandemic. We now offer picnic hampers delivered to your door in both Sydney and Melbourne.
In August and September 2020, we partnered with the military charity Legacy to help them raise money and awareness during their Legacy Week campaign during lockdown across Australia. We offered picnic hampers alongside their famous teddies in a bid to create the Legacy Bears Picnic at home.
​
Coming out of lockdown, pop-up picnics have become the latest trend across Sydney and Pretty as a picnic are here to help you celebrate in style.
