  • “I cannot say enough good things about working with this amazing team for my Bridal Shower! Diego and the team were absolutely incredible, taking multiple introductory calls to discuss details and bookings, and their communication was exceptional. They were kind, professional, and truly put me at ease, taking away all the stress of event planning. Even giving me real time updates on traffic as they were driving over!

    Their website is full of information and inspiration. The picnic that I chose online looked exactly like what was delivered and set up. The team was prepared, organized, and quick to set up and tear down. They even provided helpful suggestions to elevate our decor for the tables! Seriously, they do it all.

    I was pleasantly surprised that they drove all the way from Temecula to Orange County. Highly recommend them for any event that you might be hosting.”

  • We used this company for a last minute surprise birthday! They set our picnic up at a beach in Del Mar. It was the perfect location (despite Saturday traffic coming from the Pomona area). The setup was so cute that people kept asking what the occasion was. We went with the Lemon Meringue theme because it screamed spring to us. And it was easy to add to that theme (we made lemon drinks and brought lemon desserts).

    The company’s respond time is quick. They are informative, flexible, and maintain great communication. My favorite part was not needing to stress about all the little details, especially because of how last minute we were expected to pull something together.

    I wasn’t sure about the tipping culture for these types of services. You hope the price for the service is keeping their staff afloat. But I asked just to be safe. They explained how it’s appreciated, but is not pressured at all. I got the impression that they understand people want to experience luxury while also maintaining a budget. At least that is true for me. I did give them a little gratuity because their hospitality could not go unnoticed. It was nothing crazy, but I felt better knowing I could, at the minimum, cover a meal or two for them.

    I can’t wait to use their company again. A Temecula picnic is on my bucket list.

  • “Booked with Diego for a birthday beach picnic but unfortunately needed to cancel due to a family emergency. He was so gracious to let us cancel and keep the credit for a future date. We rebooked for the 4th of July and everyone loved it! Diego was so kind throughout the whole process, very professional, and passionate about their work. He really cared and wanted to make the event special. They went above and beyond with the set up. Communication was easy, they came early to set up, and cleaned everything up so quickly after. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company and especially Diego. Thank you sooo much for such a spectacular job and looking forward to working with you again!!”

  • “I cannot recommend "Life's Short, Picnic" enough! Diego and Jasmine and their team were incredible and helped to make my proposal to my now fiancee so incredibly special. I had a vision for what I wanted and where I wanted it, and it was hard for me being across the country not being able to physically be there. But I am so glad I trusted Diego and they helped to make the proposal perfect! They were ready earlier than our scheduled time, and they gave us a little bit of time on the back end so we could enjoy our moment. The attention to detail was incredible. They knew that this was a special moment for us, and I couldn't be more pleased with how everything turned out! If you need a picnic set up for a special event, I highly recommend "Life's Short, Picnic"!”
