Our Story

PicNick Entertainment is family owned, a husband and wife team...

Nick & Candace Sturtz. 

Together, they have been creating smiles since 2008,              

entertaining along the east coast, mainly on Long Island, NY.   

Their venture in the field was prompted by Nick’s mother, who also came up with the company name.

And now…15+ years later,  Candace is one of the premier face painters on Long Island 

and Nick is the most sought after Spidey Character.


 Nick has always been around physical activity, teaching, and coaching.  He has 20+ years of experience as an Elementary Physical Education Teacher.  Nick is our Spidey Character Performer and Activities Coordinator.

 

Candace is a multifaceted artist with a background in Visual Merchandising and Art Education.  

She is our Lead Face Painter and Homeschool mother of three! 


The kids have been getting in the mix, performing and assisting during events!

    Children's Entertainment is our main focus, but we entertain for all types of private, corporate, town, events.


    YES!  The Park and Play has heat and air conditioning.  The side stage and back stage can be open or closed depending on weather.  The majority of the climbing and traversing is inside the trailer and with really poor weather, we can close the stages and still accommodate the same amount of guests.


    YES!  Many clients choose to be on "rain or shine", but if you wish to book a rain date, it is an additional 30% of whatever your event costs.   This additional 30%, to hold another date, is non refundable in most cases.


    There is a 30% deposit required to hold a date and it is non-refundable in most cases.  


    Our pricing varies depending on the type of event, variety of entertainment, and location.  Please contact us for a personalized quote.

    The site needs to be a drive up venue to support a large pick up truck and a 40 foot trailer.  We need roughly 70 feet in length (80 feet to maneuver and position) and 10 feet in width.  If the stages are down, add 8 feet to the back and 8 feet to the curb side (passenger side).  We need a relatively level area, although we have the ability to level out the trailer to some degree.
