After five incredible years, I’ve made the bittersweet decision to close the chapter on Meraki Luxury Picnics. 🫶🏽
Meraki was birthed from the idea of bringing people together during the pandemic. In 2021, I was a 22-year-old who took a leap of faith with my $600 stimulus check and purchased inventory to create a Valentine’s Day picnic for my very first clients celebrating Valentine’s Day. What started as a simple idea to help one couple celebrate became something so much bigger.
From proposals to bridal showers, I cherished every late-night cleanup, every last-minute store run to find the florals you envisioned, and every detail poured into your special moments. Meraki taught me to never take gatherings for granted.
It taught me how to create beauty, connection, and meaningful experiences from nothing but a vision and faith.
Thank you to every single person who booked with me, supported me, shared my work, referred me, encouraged me, or trusted me with your most special moments. I honor you because you helped make my dreams possible.
As difficult as it is to let this beautiful season go, I’m excited to step into a new one. Moving forward, I’ll be transitioning into wedding & event content creation. Through Meraki, I discovered a true passion for capturing the beauty of your moments.
Over the next few days, this page will slowly transition into that new journey:
Candid, social-first storytelling for weddings and events, captured on iPhone.
I would love for you to continue following along. ❤
To help clear out inventory, I’ll also be hosting two Meraki garage sales:
🗓️ Saturday, June 6th
🗓️ Sunday, June 7th
(More details coming soon.)
Thank you again for an unforgettable five years. Truly. What we built here mattered.
With so much love,
— Mariah
