Happy Picnic season!! 🧺 it’s finally here!
I see we have some new followers since I last did an intro post!

My name is Shana, I am the owner & founder of Picnic Parlay 🍾✨🥂💐

I created this brand out of boredom during Covid, I operated a successful Event Marketing Agency that came to a complete halt in 2020 and I saw this trend on the west coast making a beautiful appearance all over the gram and decided Chicago needed this, so here I am, 100+ events later, with a little team of rockstars ♥️
We have some fun Parlay Soirées planned this summer, (incoming to link in bio to buy tickets) it’s a wonderful way to attend an boujee picnic and network!
AND we just launched an upscale children’s version a couple months ago 👶🏻 it’s coming together nicely!
Outside of Picnic Parlay I am a mama, sister, auntie, daughter, bestie and business partner to a couple other companies.
I love collaborating with all of the small businesses here in Chicagoland and working with all of our customers. 🥰
We look forward to seeing you this season 🥂💐🥂

Xoxo
Shana

Who spilled the 🍵 that we do high tea parties!?! Bridal shower dreams on this beautiful garden rooftop 🫖

We created custom bright colored teacups and mini plates with guest names for favors. 😍
Our bride had a beautiful vision for her table and I’m happy we brought it to life.

Hi Everyone! Happy 2022!
A few days ago marked a year ago where we had our first paying customer 🥂

I see some new followers and wanted to introduce myself. I actually do not think I have ever done this in a post, only on lives.
It is great to meet you and thank you for the support!
My name is Shana, I am the founder of Picnic Parlay ✨
Firstly, I am a mother to 3 boys, they bring me so much joy and headaches, lol. We live in the suburbs right outside of Chicago.

Maintaining a close connection with my family and friends is the biggest priority in my life. Besides being a mother, I am a very busy daughter, aunt, sister and bestie❤️
Self improvement and wellness are my other loves!

My business here fills my creative bucket while also allows me to meet and collaborate with so many amazing people and business owners. I try and support as many small businesses as I can here and contribute to their success.
My Picnic Parlay team is my foundation and truly could not do anything without them, we are small but mighty.
Picnic Parlay is expanding , we are launching a childrens line of luxury event rentals and styling, it will operate under a different company name 😉
We are also launching a fun series of womens networking events called, Parlay Soirées.
Stay tuned for more details on these expansions.

Work outside of Picnic Parlay, I own another event company, called S. Marc Management, it is an experiential event marketing agency, I have not taken many recent clients as corporate events have not really made a comeback.
I also co-host as a lead host with Chicago’s best networking team with Tony P's Networking Events, I love bringing people together and we throw some really fun events!!

I look forward to meeting you, collaborating and supporting you in the new year!

Thank you for your support,
Xoxo
Shana
