Frequently Asked Questions 

How far in advance should we book?

We recommend that if you are interested in our services to book right away, especially if you do not have flexibility in your date. We require at least 1 week notice for services.

Where can the picnics be set up?

Our picnics can be set up in locations around Edmonton and surrounding areas. We can also set up in your backyard or home. Events can be indoors or outdoors (weather permitting). 

How many people can be accommodated for each picnic?

At this time, we are able to accommodate up to 30 guests.

Do we count kids?

Kids are always welcome but kids under 5 should not be included in your count as they do not require their own place setting. Please let us know if any children will be present so we can set up accordingly.

Do we need any permits?

Most of our picnics will be set-up in public parks where permits are not required. Any locations that require a permit will be sorted out by A Picnic Affair and may be subject to additional costs.

Do I need to put down a deposit?

Yes, we require a 50% deposit to secure your booking. The balance is due 2 weeks prior to your event. 

Can we bring liquor ?

Liquor is permitted in specific areas in public parks around Edmonton. If you would like to bring alcohol, we will let you know which public locations permit it.


We do not sell any alcohol. If you wish to consume alcohol, it is at your own risk.

Can we bring our own food?

Yes, of course!

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes! We can accommodate most dietary restrictions. Please let us know of any restrictions when booking.

What if there is a weather disruption?

Edmonton weather is often unpredictable, therefore, we require you provide a back up indoor location. If you do not have a back up indoor location available we can  re-schedule to a new date. 

Can you do custom themes?

Yes, we love custom themes! Customization may be subject to additional costs accordingly.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, of course! 

The guest count has changed, now what?

When booking we ask that you book with your minimum guest count estimate as after the contract is signed, that becomes your required guest count. We cannot lower it after, as we reserve items for your event based on your quest count. You can add guests to your event up to 1 week prior to your event. We will try our best to accommodate changes.

What happens if we are late?

Life happens! We allow a 15-minute grace period which will not cut into your picnic time.


If you are over 25 minutes late for your picnic, we will be required to pack up and leave. Your total will not be refunded. Please understand we service multiple events in different locations of the city and cannot allow tardiness to affect our other events.

What is your cancellation policy?

  • If you need to cancel your booking for any reason the initial non-refundable deposit will be forfeited.


  • We require 7 days in advanced noticed at minimum for a refund of any monies paid beyond the initial non-refundable deposit. 


  • If you cancel your picnic less than 7 days of your scheduled event, a refund will not be issued.

How do we end our affair?

Our staff will be present near the end of your booking in order to clean up and take down your picnic. If you need to leave your picnic early, please contact us and we will try to arrive on site as soon as possible.
