"it's our passion"

Born of a deep love for Santa Barbara and the outdoors, we are passionate about showcasing the beauty of the region to visitors and locals alike with our intimate styled picnics. We wanted to create an event service that wasn’t overly complicated, but was something special that friends and loved ones could enjoy- whether that be for a date, birthday, celebration, or just because! Our team of picnic stylists have an eye for detail and are full-heartedly dedicated to making any occasion significant with our styled picnics.

Nicole founded Santa Barbara Picnic Co. in 2018. She graduated from UCSB in 2016 and her favorite pastime after graduation was spending time outdoors picnicking with friends. She believes socializing with friends in beautiful scenery never gets old, especially in Santa Barbara.

Picnics are a quintessential Santa Barbara activity and Nicole wanted to put her design-forward creativity into a unique experience for others to enjoy. She is endlessly inspired by Santa Barbara’s mountains and coast, and loves to infuse the local lifestyle with a personalized flair into each event.

Nicole is your point of contact when booking and leads all design and creating within the team. She has an affinity for creating a sense of magic through stylish spaces, and knows what it takes to make any occasion a radiant and authentic experience.
