Hello There!

I’m Ashley, the Picnic Planner, Daydreamer and Oversee-er at Finger Lakes Picnic Co.

Finger Lakes Picnic Co. is first and foremost about having FUN! We are located in the Finger Lakes region of New York State and we’re so excited to share with you all the beauty this area has to offer. Our massive fresh water lakes, steep slopes with expansive views and many waterfalls & gorges make for a perfect picnic landscape and I’ve coordinated with a couple very special wineries to make your experience all the more memorable!

Our Picnic Experiences are perfect for a romantic rendezvous, marriage proposal, celebration or just to have some fun! I wanted to create an experience that was truly magical and memorable and I absolutely love working hard to present picnic gatherings that are visually stunning, carefully designed and set up using beautiful vintage and inspired items.

As a design school graduate I naturally gravitate toward the pretty things in life. I’ve always enjoyed creating beautiful spaces and making a moment feel extra special and it brings me great joy to see others enjoy and delight in a specially designed experience. My journey has taken me from art and design school to fashion to hospitality and catering and now to small scale events. My greatest accomplishment to date has been opening and operating the Burdett House Bed & Breakfast with my husband David. Shameless self promotion ——> Burdett House, check us out! Together we’ve built a very welcoming, cozy environment for weary travelers and wine warriors. We’ve met hundreds of amazing people and built beautiful relationships with some of the area’s finest producers.

Finger Lakes Picnic Co. is my next adventure in creating special moments not just for our inn guests but for you too!
