Picnics always sound like a great idea, until it comes time to actually start planning the whole thing out. But New Jersey residents can now rest easy, because POSH Picnics is here to save the day. The business creates and customizes unique pop-up picnics to match any theme that patrons can envision.
The process starts by filling out a questionnaire that determines the details of a potential picnic. This includes important info such as the size of the picnic. “From that point on, we work our magic to make it happen,” says POSH Picnics owner Christine Hallowell. “Specials occasions are meant to be special and not stressful. We are here to serve you and provide you with the ultimate picnic or party.”

Planning the Perfect Picnic
POSH Picnics can create picnics for any space, from private residences and backyards to beaches and parks. They can also research the best available option based on questionnaire feedback. (Customers approve all the details, including location, before booking.) POSH Picnics notes that local rules apply to any picnic, with the most common restriction being alcohol. With this in mind, they do not supply any alcohol for picnics; but they do set everything up and break it back down afterwards. All customers have to do is show up, take pictures, and enjoy.
So far, the client base has been surprisingly varied. “Every picnic has been so different. From 5-year-old birthday parties, to proposals, to baby showers, to ‘just because we want a picnic,’” Christine says. The food POSH Picnics supplies comes from third-party vendors; they can provide anything from small charcuterie boxes to full catered meals. The service is available to all New Jersey residents; however, anything 30 miles beyond Medford in Burlington County incurs a travel fee based on distance, picnic size, and tolls.
The Mind Behind POSH Picnics
Christine puts her heart into every picnic she designs. “I care about clients’ wants and their needs, and truly want to exceed their expectations and really wow them,” she explains. “I treat my clients how I would want to be treated if I were in their shoes.”
When not designing POSH Picnics, Christine is a wife, mother of twins, owner of two dogs, and an X-ray technologist. She has a bachelors’ degree in marketing. Party planning has always been her passion and she holds previous event planning experience. “The wheel instantly started moving, I knew that this was what I was meant to do in life,” she says. She hopes to one day expand into catering and add more rentals. Prior to POSH Picnics, Christine worked at a hospital for almost eight years.
