Picnics, done in style
&
Events, planned beautifully
The Coastal Muse does picnics a little differently. Inspired by some of the world’s most iconic coasts, like Malibu, the French Riviera, and the Amalfi Coast, we bring a little bit of each to Sarasota, Florida, and surrounding areas. Each has its own unique style, which is where the inspiration for our signature picnic Edits comes from.
Every picnic also includes a Polaroid camera so you can snap a few photos, enjoy the moment, and take the memories home.
The Coastal Muse also offers event planning for intimate celebrations and private gatherings. We can help with vendor sourcing, rentals, setup, venue selection, coordination, and the logistics that keep everything organized for birthdays, dinner parties, showers, proposals, brunches, and bachelorettes.

If the weather isn't cooperating, or conditions are deemed unsafe for our team to set up, we'll work with you to reschedule your picnic within 60 days of your original reservation date, based on availability.

The Coastal Muse focuses on creating the picnic/event experience itself.
For our picnics, we do provide a chilled water bottle for each guest, but we do not provide any other food or alcohol.
We do encourage guests to feel free to bring any favorite foods and drinks to enjoy during your picnic! We're also happy to recommend local vendors and add-on options to help complete your experience.
For all other events, we do not provide food, drinks, or alcohol. However, we do have a curated list of vendors we can reach out to for you depending on your guest count and event.
For both, picnics and all other events, alcohol may be permitted depending on the location.
Guests are responsible for providing the alcohol, and ensuring it is allowed at their chosen venue along with following all applicable laws and regulations.
-
At this time, The Coastal Muse offers limited event planning for intimate events rather than full-service planning. This allows us to focus on the details, design, and coordination needed to make smaller celebrations feel elevated and personal.
The Face Behind The Coastal Muse
Hi, I'm Celeste, founder of The Coastal Muse.
I've always been the person who loves bringing people together. Whether it's planning a dinner party, celebrating a milestone, or simply creating a beautiful space for friends and family to gather, I've always believed the setting can make a moment feel a little more special!
Before starting The Coastal Muse, I worked in business administration and law, where organization, attention to detail, and planning were part of everyday life. Those skills still play a big role in what I do today, but I've always loved the creative side of hosting, styling, and creating spaces people genuinely enjoy being in.
The Coastal Muse was created to offer a beautiful and effortless way to celebrate. From date nights and proposals to birthdays, bridal celebrations, and everything in between, my goal is to create a space that feels welcoming, thoughtfully styled, and easy to enjoy.
Thank you for being here! It means a lot that you're considering The Coastal Muse for your celebration, and I look forward to creating something unique and special for you.
