The Bougie Picnic was a beautiful success, and our hearts are full of gratitude. This special day would not have been possible without the incredible people who believed in the vision, showed up with purpose, and helped bring it to life.
To our amazing talent team—our host, Luna Love; music curator, DJ Jeff Taylor; our headliner, Najm the Saxophonist; and violinist Nikki Redman—thank you for setting the perfect tone for the day. Your energy, talent, and genuine connection with our guests were truly magical. You created moments we will never forget!
To our wonderful experience providers—CLT Charm Bar, CLT Perfume Bar, Henna Luxe Art, BakeRi, STRONG Pilates SouthPark, and Midnight Draw Cigar Lounge—you were amazing, and our guests said so! Thank you for showing up with professionalism, enthusiasm, and a genuine desire to connect with everyone. You helped make the day interactive, engaging, and memorable. We are grateful for your partnership and wish each of your businesses continued growth and success.
To our generous gift givers—Ena Rose Aesthetics for gifting one of our VIP guests a lovely spa day; Two Chicks Candles for the luxurious candle raffle prize; Adrienne Hines of Arock Travels for the VIP gift card; Heidi Samples, Gladece Knights, and Margaret Lucas for their generous donations; and Bask & Lather for providing every attendee with a luxury, salon-quality experience to enjoy at home—thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your generosity meant so much to us. Thank you for seeing the vision, believing in it, and pouring so graciously into The Bougie Picnic.
To our incredible volunteers—Adrienne Hines, Keeya McSwain, Simene’ Walden, The Student Teacher, Patti Overby-Logan, and Rhonda James—you were essential to the success of the day. Thank you for your flexibility, commitment, positive attitudes, and willingness to step in wherever you were needed. Your support carried us through, and we truly cannot thank you enough!
To our event coordinator, Carly Taylor—thank you for joining us just one month before the event and helping bring all the moving pieces together. Your organization, creativity, calm presence, and hard work kept everything moving forward. Your efforts were noticed and appreciated by our team, experience providers, talent, and guests. We are so grateful for everything you contributed.
Last, but certainly not least, a heartfelt thank-you to our VIP Culinary Experience provider, Chef MJ. Thank you for sharing your time, talent, and incredible culinary gifts with The Bougie Picnic. The beautifully presented courses kept our VIP guests engaged, delighted, and excited to discover what was coming next. The food was absolutely amazing, the wines and bubbly by Brian Grant of Wines with Brian were perfect pairings, and the table décor by Dion Jackson of Rich Collective completed the experience beautifully. Chef MJ, your partnership made the VIP experience truly special and unforgettable, and we deeply appreciate everything you contributed.
Every performance, product, service, gift, experience, thoughtful detail, helping hand, and behind-the-scenes contribution made the day extraordinary. Together, you helped us create more than an event—you helped us create a joyful, elevated, and memorable experience filled with connection and community.
We are deeply grateful for your partnership, generosity, and belief in The Bougie Picnic. Thank you for showing up, sharing your gifts, and pouring your hearts into this vision. We could not have done it without you. 💚✨
With heartfelt gratitude,
The Bougie Picnic Team
