Our Story
Born from a love of beautiful moments and intentional gatherings.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Vanessa Olatunji
Hi, I'm Vanessa — the heart and hands behind Picnic Lover Co. What started as a personal passion for creating beautiful, intimate gatherings has grown into something I never imagined: a business built entirely around love, laughter, and the magic of a perfectly set table under the open sky.
I started Picnic Lover Co. because I believed that everyday moments deserve to feel extraordinary. Whether it's a birthday, an anniversary, a proposal, or just a Tuesday — you deserve something beautiful.
How It All Started
What began as intimate setups for close friends and family quickly grew into something bigger. Word spread, bookings came in, and Picnic Lover Co. was born — rooted in the DMV area and fueled by a genuine love for people and meaningful experiences.
Today, every setup we create carries the same energy as that very first one: care, intention, and the belief that you deserve a moment that feels like it was made just for you. Because it was.
What We Stand For
Attention to Detail
From the flower arrangements to the table settings, every element of your picnic is thoughtfully curated. No detail is too small — because the small things are what make a moment unforgettable.
Stress-Free Experience
We handle everything so you don't have to. Show up, sit down, and enjoy the moment. Setup, styling, and breakdown are all taken care of from start to finish.
Your Vision, Our Craft
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all. Every picnic is designed around you — your vibe, your people, your story. We bring your vision to life with creativity and heart.
OUR MISSION
"To create intentional, beautiful moments that bring people together and remind them that the best memories are made when the details are done with love."

I cannot say enough great things about Picnic Lover Co. Every single detail was perfect — the setup was beautiful, the team was professional, and I didn't have to worry about a thing. It was the most magical afternoon.
