Planning a San Diego picnic can be no picnic–especially for a romantically inclined couple or anyone who wants to celebrate a special occasion outdoors. There’s finding the right location, hoping it’s available when you want it, creating a menu, packing the food and utensils, lugging it all to the picnic site, and cleaning up after it’s all over.
If you’ve ever wished you could just leave the duties to someone besides an expensive caterer, your picnic prayers have been answered. Pop Up San Diego will do all of the above and more. You just show up. Sunset toasts on the beach, marriage proposals, small get-togethers – this El Cajon-based company will take care of all the details. Their motto: “We do the work, you take the credit!”
