Posh & Luxury Picnics

In Gulf Shores & Orange Beach

March 9, 2024

It doesn’t get better than a beachfront picnic. Enjoy tasty treats under sunny skies as you’re serenaded by the rolling waves, with nothing on your hands but time and tan lines. Alfresco has never been so fabulous!

Luxury Beach Picnics

Picnics on the beach are hardly a new concept, but they’ve recently seen a trendy new twist. Specialty companies now offer pop-up picnics, a luxurious new take on an authentic dining experience. These posh beach picnics are far from the old blanket and icebox method — they’re extraordinary culinary events complete with stylish decor, custom seating, umbrellas, and tableware.

These new and notable picnic experiences are perfect for groups and events of all sizes. Beach visitors have booked these premium picnics for proposals, birthdays, anniversaries, date nights, engagement parties, and more. Best of all, no preparation or cleanup is required — you simply book your date, confirm your details, and arrive ready to enjoy a fantastic picnic experience. 

Picnic Cruise Gulf Shores

Booking a Posh Beach Picnic

So, how do you book a posh beach picnic on Alabama’s beaches? We’re glad you asked. There are several pop-up picnic companies to choose from in our area, each with its own perks and packages.

Southern Charm Picnic Company is a Gulf Shores pop-up picnic company owned by a mother-daughter duo specializing in creating magical memories. They offer multiple picnic packages that can be personalized with unique add-ons like a cabana, movie projector, and balloon garland. Picnics last two or five hours and include everything from tables and dinnerware to luxurious decor and even catered charcuterie boards.

High Tide Daiquiris & Mimosas To-Go Drinks in Gulf Shores

Perfect Beach Picnic Pairings

While these premium beach picnics are designed to dazzle you, some don’t include your meal. The good news is it’s easy to find specialty foods that create a meal worthy of the atmosphere!

Charm your picnic guests with a handcrafted charcuterie board from Lauria’s by the Beach. Then, go through the drive-thru at High Tide Daiquiris and Mimosas for frozen drinks or fresh coffee to go.

Chocolate Corner Gulf Shores

Don’t miss a stop at the Chocolate Corner for delicious delights to add to your beach picnic. A selection of decadent truffles is the perfect addition to your beachside soiree. 

If you want all of the picnic but none of the preparation, consider calling The Beach Moms. This full-service concierge can handle every detail, from contacting the picnic company to arranging your catering, reserving a ride, and more.

Watch Life of Mom
