Love is part of the very foundation of A Pretty Picnic, owned by Austin and Chase Kreitzer. After meeting online in 2021, and a first date at the gym, Austin and Chase quickly became inseparable, taking advantage of each other’s lunch breaks to spend even just 30 minutes together.

The recently married couple understands the importance of spending time with loved ones and they strive to help facilitate those times of celebration with convenience and ease. Their attention to detail and commitment to elevated presentation truly provides a unique, satisfying experience for customers.
