MJ Charcuterie was born from a lifelong passion for entertaining and creating beautiful, memorable food experiences. Founder Melissa Snyder spent many years in the catering and food service industry, where she developed a deep appreciation for presentation, hospitality, and the art of bringing people together through food. Those years of hands-on experience laid the foundation for her to build a brand dedicated to excellence, creativity, and meaningful connection. Her love for entertaining naturally evolved into creating stunning charcuterie boards, grazing tables, and luxury gatherings that invite people to slow down, savor, and celebrate life’s special moments.

​

The inspiration for MJ Luxury Picnics & Events began a few years ago during a trip to Paris, where Melissa experienced a luxury picnic for the first time. Surrounded by beauty, delicious food, and the charm of the city, she instantly fell in love with the concept. That experience ignited a vision — to bring that same sense of elegance, connection, and joy back home.

Every detail is designed with care, intention, and creativity — a reflection of Melissa’s faith and her desire to honor God through her work. Whether it’s a picnic, sleepover, tea party, or charcuterie, that’s how we’ve evolved into MJ Charcuterie and Luxury Picnic Events — a brand that brings people together through food, beauty, and heartfelt hospitality that will wow your guests and create memories they’ll remember for years to come.
