The beautiful memory they helped create is something that lives in my heart always. It was such a beautiful setup and Vene was professional and on top of it! She is awesome and is great at what she does. Thank you so much Ave Box!!

The AVEBOX is a small local business that packs a power punch picnic. I won a picnic for four from…read morethis company on IG. It turned out to be super enjoyable, tasty, relaxing and super pretty without going over the top. Their motto is simple but significant. Venè, the primary owner is very responsive and wants to ensure your picnic is absolutely perfect! I want to say we rescheduled three times due to bad weather!! No lie!! I'm so glad I didn't give up and neither did she on making this picnic happen. For about the third time trying, it rained, POURED.. I informed Venè it was absolutely okay if she just sets the picnic in my house due to the inclement weather. Was indoors, either of our prime choice? No, but I was eager to experience her creativity and talent bestowed upon us. It was definitely worth the wait!! Venè is soo very sweet and was very respectful of my house. She brought along beautiful vibrant cushions to sit on the floor. We later agreed after set up that perhaps the dining room table would be a better height and more comfortable. We still were able to use the comfy cushions on the seats. The AVEBOX ensures that sanitation is a top priority and gloves were used to handle the food and fruit was washed. Two of my sisters and I were so tickled at how beautiful the set up was with greenery adorning the length of the table, a vase of full beautiful white hydrangeas with pops of baby blue and fuchsia baby breath peppered in between. To elevate the picnic even more, she brought two gold candlesticks and we had a candlelight picnic in my own home. It was absolutely gorgeous. Simple but elegant! Venè prepared four small individual charcuterie boards with a real champagne glass for each of us as a vessel for our Perrier water, Coke & Sprite. In small individual gold colored containers were guacamole and tzatziki dip. On a cute tiered stand she had four sandwiches from TASTE, the Hilltop & Freemason. For dessert she provided the cute Virginia sugar cookies from Taste. She even provides a cute menu with your picnic. Another thoughtful and nice touch is the additional use of games. In a nice crate was a tic tac toe board, a deck of cards and two other games called "We're not really strangers" and "Tabletopics." These are all well chosen games because it engages you in conversation and you learn about how others perceive you. We all enjoyed the picnic immensely! Unfortunately, even though my husband was upstairs and was supposed to join us, he was just too tired to participate because he had to work soon and needed the sleep. Luckily, we took pics and we stored his food in the fridge for him to enjoy later! I showed him the pics later on and he said it was "so fancy!" My sisters that joined me were delighted and beaming with smiles, expressing how much they enjoyed it and how relaxing and beautiful it was! The nice part is, you don't even have to clean up. Venè came back after two hours and packed everything up. She even gives you the vase of flowers! She also gave us a very nice greeting card with a personal message and wishing me and my husband a happy anniversary and a happy birthday to my husband. I highly recommend the AVEBOX for your picnic needs. If you want to celebrate with friends, family, a birthday, anniversary, graduation, date night, intimate baby shower, or any special occasion or just because you want a nice simple elegant picnic where you don't need to plan a thing! The AVEBOX is a solid choice! Responsive, receptive, creative, elegant and most of all this company embodies the essence of family value and sharing precious moments with those you care about. To boot, a picnic is created and executed with love, passion and a lot of heart and enthusiasm. Be sure to tell Venè I said hi! Thank you so much Venè for such a wonderful and memorable experience!! Ps be sure to ask her what the AVEBOX means. ;-) I'll let her tell you.

Needless to say my grandchildren and their friends (even us Adults, lol!) had a wonderful time with the animals! That's also why I booked them for our family reunion! Everyone young and old enjoyed playing with, Petting, and getting pictures with all the cute animals! It was also a great learning experience for young and old, as the owners explained each animals habits, food they eat, and general information. I'm looking forward to seeing them at our church bazaar this summer! If your looking for something for a birthday party, family reunion, or fundraiser event at church.....look no further!
