What is Picnics & Porches’ Pumpkin Concierge Service?
Picnics & Porches is a Hunt Country-based styling company known for creating luxe outdoor experiences. This fall, we bring that same eye for design to your doorstep with curated, high-quality pumpkins, gourds, mums, and seasonal décor — artfully arranged to make your porch warm, welcoming, and picture-perfect. We handle everything from sourcing to styling, so all you have to do is enjoy your porch.
Where do you source your pumpkins?
We have partnered with Wegmeyer Farms in Hamilton, VA, home to more than 50 breathtaking pumpkin varieties, we hand-select an artful mix of classic Jack-O-Lanterns and rare heirlooms in every size, shape, and hue. From creamy whites to statement-making specialty pumpkins, each one is chosen for its beauty and character. The result? A bespoke fall display that turns your entry into the season’s most inviting (and Instagram-worthy) welcome.
How do I choose the right package for my home?
Start by thinking about your porch size, the look you love, and how bold you want your display to be.
A Touch of Autumn – A balanced, charming display ideal for smaller porches. Just enough seasonal style to feel fresh and festive without overwhelming the space.

Do you create custom designs?
Yes! We love custom work — whether it’s for a storefront, wedding venue, private party, or a themed backdrop. If you have a specific color palette, style, or vision, we’ll design something entirely unique.

How can I make my pumpkins last longer?
Our pumpkins are farm-fresh and each is one-of-a-kind. To help them last:
Wipe off moisture after rain, especially around the stem.
Remove any pumpkin showing signs of soft spots or rot.
Optional: Apply a light bleach rinse or a clear spray sealant to slow decay. Should you choose this option, we CANNOT recycle these pumpkins. Please alert us if you’ve added removal services.
Do you offer end-of-season pickup?
Yes! For an added fee, we’ll remove all pumpkins, gourds, and natural décor at the end of the season. Any untreated pumpkins will be donated to a local farm for feed.
What’s your cancellation or refund policy?
Our pumpkin season is short and delivery slots are limited, so all sales are final. If your display arrives damaged or missing items, contact us right away so we can make it right.
