During one picnic, Isaac remembered, a yellow rose was significant to a couple celebrating 49 years together, so the Carters included the rose and other special touches.

In their first year of business, QBIC organized around 100 picnics for the Sioux Falls area.

Though the majority of the picnics are for couples, birthdays, surprise parties, anniversaries, and date nights, all special occasions are welcome.

Isaac and Sabena both have other jobs, but they agree that QBIC is a fulfilling side hustle and make sure they are available to provide as many picnics as possible.

“We make it available for anyone to have a picnic from 5-10 p.m. on weekdays and noon-10 p.m. on weekends,” said Sabena.

The Carters find that it is a very gratifying service to provide.

“You can see the excitement in their eyes,” Sabena said of her clients. The picnics are often a surprise for one or more of the guests.

Isaac agrees: he loves to see guest’s reactions to “the excitement, the happiness, and the unique memory we brought them.”

The Carters always offer to take a photo for their clients before cleaning up the picnic, and have had the ability to witness more than a few proposals.

“It just makes me happy,” said Sabena.

With a successful first year under their belts, QBIC looks forward to expanding into more complex dinner party services and rentals. FOR MORE
