About me

Hi, I’m Jordan!

Before I ever set a picnic table in Northern Michigan, I spent years working on board superyachts, creating five-star experiences in some of the most beautiful places around the world. Life on a yacht was both rewarding and challenging; I’m not exaggerating when I say every day was a learning curve. When I left the industry, it was apparent that a few qualities had been permanently ingrained in me: attention to detail, organization, and the desire to make every guest experience feel one-of-a-kind and special. When you’re miles from shore with last-minute requests, there’s no room for forgetfulness or cutting corners. Everything has to be planned and executed with perfection.

In 2023 my husband, Kieran, and I moved to Bellaire with our goofy Bernedoodle, Ralph. Kieran and I met over ten years ago while working in Europe… the perfect halfway point between my hometown in southeastern Michigan and his in Perth, Western Australia. Together, we traveled the world while living out of backpacks. How I ever managed to fit my entire life into a backpack is still a mystery to me. If you were to ask around town, there’s a good chance that people know Ralph’s name before they know mine or Kieran’s (which honestly makes me laugh). Out of all the places we’ve been together, nowhere has felt as special as Bellaire. Northern Michigan feels like home.

Bellaire Picnic Company wouldn’t exist without Kieran’s constant love and support. You’ll likely see him helping behind the scenes or lending a hand with setups from time to time.

When I’m not setting up picnics, you can usually find me selling my sourdough goods around town, tending to our chickens, hiking with Ralph, listening to Taylor Swift while cleaning, or working on house projects with Kieran.

I’ve always loved tablescapes, beautiful setups, and creating spaces that take your breath away from the moment you arrive. Bellaire Picnic Company is really just an extension of what I’ve done my whole career. I’ll make sure everything is taken care of so you can unwind, relax, and enjoy the moment.

Welcome. I’m so excited to have you!

Jordan
