About Sunday Afternoon Picnics


It all started when three close friends attended a beach picnic while on vacation on the east coast. We were inspired by the idea of a modern all-inclusive picnic service, so we combined our unique talents and tastes to create Sunday Afternoon here in Cincinnati. Our company is founded on the idea that picnics should be beautiful, stress-free, and of course, delicious.

At Sunday Afternoon Picnics, we value three important things that are sure to make your picnic amazing.

  1. Complete customization. Leave the red checkered blanket in the past! We offer a variety of different color, decor, and food options and encourage our guests to customize as much as they want to. Your picnic should be uniquely your own and perfectly suited to your occasion.

  2. Ease of use. Picnics should be fun, not stressful. We’ll set up at your desired location and provide everything you need for an enjoyable evening in nature with loved ones. We provide a your choice of food, a picnic table, blankets/cushions, dining ware, a bluetooth speaker, and custom decor. You’ll get an hour and a half of picnic time to enjoy food and friends, and then we’ll take care of the rest. No need to bring a thing - we do it all.

  3. Sustainability and community. We value small businesses, so we work with several local businesses to provide you the freshest snacks and treats. A lot of our picnic items are thrifted, handmade, and low-waste. It is a privilege to set up our picnics in a variety of local parks around town and enjoy the scenery our beautiful Cincinnati has to offer.
