Terms of service
Please take a moment to read through our Terms & Conditions before booking your picnic. By confirming your booking, you agree to the following:
1. Bookings & Payments
-
Your picnic date is confirmed once a deposit or full payment has been received.
-
If your chosen date is further in advance, you may secure it with a non-refundable deposit, with the remaining balance due by the date shown on your invoice.
-
If you book directly through our website and pay the full amount, your booking is confirmed immediately.
-
All deposits are non-refundable unless special circumstances apply (at Picnique’s discretion).
-
Full payments follow the same cancellation and refund policies outlined below.
2. Change of Mind / Cancellations
-
We do not offer full or partial refunds for cancellations due to a change of mind.
-
If you choose to cancel your picnic altogether, the deposit and any paid amount are non-refundable.
3. Picnic Locations
-
Picnique sets up in public or semi-public spaces. We cannot control or influence crowds, public activity, noise, landscaping work, events, or any other external factors.
-
If your original chosen location becomes unavailable or unsuitable, an alternative location will be offered.
-
No full or partial refunds are provided due to a change of location, as we work with weather and current site conditions on the day.
4. Weather Policy
-
Queenstown weather can change quickly, and safety is always our priority.
-
In case of poor weather, you will be offered an alternative date or time where possible.
-
If no suitable alternative can be arranged and we are unable to safely set up your picnic, you will receive a full refund.
-
Please note: cloudy skies, light winds, cooler temperatures, or general weather preferences do not qualify as “bad weather.” Refunds apply only when conditions make the setup unsafe or impossible.
5. Arrival Time & Duration
-
Your picnic will be ready at the confirmed start time. Please arrive on time to enjoy the full experience.
-
Picnique is not responsible for lost picnic time due to late arrival.
-
Additional time may be requested prior to the picnic day and is subject to availability and an additional fee.
6. Damages & Loss
-
Any damage, loss, or excessive cleaning required may incur a replacement or cleaning fee.
-
Please treat all décor, tableware, and furniture with care.
7. Food & Allergies
-
Grazing boxes and sweet treats may contain allergens. It is the client’s responsibility to inform Picnique of any allergies in the questionnaire received after the booking if confirmed.
-
While care is taken with all food items, Picnique cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment.
8. Photography & Social Media
-
Any photos taken by Picnique may be used for promotional purposes unless otherwise arranged.
9. Safety
