Meet the team

Nicole Leza

Owner, creative director

Born out of a deep love for nature and the Santa Barbara community, Nicole launched Santa Barbara Picnic Co. in 2018. Nicole wanted to provide an event service that was simple and enjoyable for friends and loved ones, whether it was for a date, celebration, or just because! She quickly expanded to a team of picnic stylists that are dedicated to making any occasion special with styled picnics.

Picnics are a classic Santa Barbara thing to do, and Nicole wanted to use her creative design skills to make a special experience that others can enjoy. The beautiful mountains and coast of Santa Barbara always inspire her, and she adds her own personal touch to every event to reflect the local lifestyle.

Nicole is not only your point of contact when booking with SBPC, but she is also the mastermind behind all the design and creative aspects within our team. With her keen eye for detail, Nicole knows exactly what it takes to transform any space into a truly enchanting setting that will leave a lasting impression on your guests. Rest assured, when working with Nicole, you can expect nothing short of perfection and an extraordinary event that surpasses all expectations.
