About

Kelsey’s passion for event planning all unfolded from her love to create. What started off as a long-time hobby, scrapbooking for friends and loved ones, decorating her classroom for the season, organizing events, and planning and hosting holiday and birthday gatherings, turned into something much more. Having a background in education, hospitality and management, Kelsey realized that what brought her most joy in life was seeing the positive reactions on her loved ones faces when their vision was brought to life, and hearing them rave about past events for the years to come. Newport Beach Picnics was founded on the love of celebrating and spending quality time with friends and family.  Since COVID, Kelsey found the need to seek out alternative venues and experiences for get togethers, dates, and special events. What better venue than the beach?
