Our Story
Creative, Enthusiastic & Service-Oriented
It all started when a boy met a girl, in sunny San Diego, and decided to use their creative talents for the greater good. One is an eccentric surfer-chef and the other, a cake decorator, who throws a killer party. Both have extensive backgrounds in the restaurant, hospitality, and events industry, so they partnered together to form Suite & Sea, a pop-up picnic event business.
The definition of "Suite" is a group of related things intended to be used together. A set of items grouped together, stylishly, can really make the occasion unforgettable, and we provide that service with attention to detail. Many of our event items are actually handmade, by us, for you.
We want everyone to experience the beauty of a San Diego sunset, or the nostalgia of roasting S'mores around the bonfire. Our favorite recipe for a great gathering is 1 part fantastic location, a few handfuls of charcuterie, a dash of comfort, a pinch of relaxation, and to finish it off, add a little good company. When it looks Instagram or Pinterest-worthy, it's just the icing on top. We just need you to fill the seats, sit back, and enjoy.

WHAT IS YOUR RADIUS FOR DELIVERY AND SETUP?No location is too far! We love to say "YES" to any location but if it is outside of our normal 25 mile service area, we will have to charge a travel fee dependent upon mileage, gas prices, and how many trips we will be taking (For example: if it's a drop off we won't have to come back to pick anything up, so less traveling back and forth)
-
IN THE CASE OF INCLEMENT WEATHER, WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR OUTDOOR PLANS?No one can control nature but luckily the weather is fairly predictable within 24 hours. We always discuss alternatives if the situation arises the week before your event. We can also wait until at least the day before to determine the weather conditions and come up with a plan of action. Nobody likes the weather raining on their parade, so we offer to reschedule or relocate your event to the next available date. If we are able to set up inside at the location of your event, that would be the first, and most obvious option. Usually, the best course would be to reschedule.
-
DO YOU SUPPLY ALCOHOL?Great question! We recommend bringing your own and adhering to regulations wherever your picnic setup is placed. We can provide discreet containers, ice, mixers, and beverage carts if you wish. If you would like it included as a "Gift" especially for those more romantic occasions like a proposal, please don't hesitate to ask!
-
WHAT DAYS DO YOU DO EVENTS?We are open 7 days a week to accommodate any event.
-
WHAT KIND OF SERVICES DO YOU OFFER?We consider ourselves Jacks of All Trades. We have a lot of experience in the food, service, dessert, construction, and moving industries which led us to this particular business venture. We offer event fabrication, event planning and/or coordination, setup and teardown services, floristry, balloon artistry, picnics, tablescapes, bonfires, charcuterie and grazing options, cakes, and more. Almost anything can be customized to your specifications and budget.
-
IS THERE A LIST OF LOCATIONS I HAVE TO PICK FROM TO HAVE MY EVENT?For picnics and bonfires, we do have a suggested list that helps us deliver the best experience for you. If you have a different request for location, we just have to make sure we are permitted to set up there. If your event is anything other than a picnic or bonfire, then you would obviously pick the location, whether that be at a venue, restaurant, vacation rental or your own home! We have done all sorts of events at all sorts of locations. We have a certificate of insurance we can show at any location that requires it.
-
WHAT KIND OF THEMES OR COLORS DO YOU HAVE TO PICK FROM?We are adding new inventory daily to help you personalize your event. Our inventory can be combined and arranged in a variety of ways to support the overall aesthetic that you are going for. If it is a specific theme, we usually work with you on how much it will cost to add those items to your overall quote to carry the theme throughout your event. We have a large range of colors so any color you have in mind, is something we can accommodate.
-
CAN YOU PROVIDE FOOD AND DRINKS FOR MY PICNIC, BONFIRE OR EVENT?The short answer: Yes, of course! The long answer: We are more of a decor focused event business, so while we can definitely provide food and drinks, catering buffet setups, cakes, and desserts, we do have a few limitations as we are not exactly a catering company. We work with different caterers, charcuterie and grazing companies, bakeries, cookie and dessert vendors, and we also carry chafing dishes, warmers, coolers, etc so that if you'd like to provide your own food from your favorite restaurant we can offer the setup to keep it warm or cold for example. We can do a number of things that fit your budget so please inquire about what we can provide.
