Host A Tea Party


We offer traditional afternoon tea parties with a twist — we bring the tea party to your home, office or venue!  Let us ease your event planning role and "make you look great."
 
Tailor our service to match your unique preferences and event theme by choosing between a complete package including full catering of all tea party treats with our elegant vintage china along with exquisite table decor setup... OR book our delicious catering or tea party china rentals separately. We will curate a custom event for you! 

**During our busy summer season, 2-3 weeks notice is appreciated.

Tea Party Packages 

With any complete package bookings, we include many tea party "extras" including complimentary gold fabric napkins folded into roses, menu cards or custom menus in frames, fascinators for guests to wear during your event, delivery within Calgary city limits and pickup the following day.

The Travelling Teacups Experience:

 We will arrive about 1.5 hours prior to your event start time, bringing all of the beautiful china dishware, flatware and table decor. We transform your space with an elegant tablescape, creating a picture-perfect setting. 

The utmost attention to detail is extended to both the table setup and the placement of food on our tiered china plating to create a visual feast, prior to the actual tea party feast! Your tea selections are prepped so that all you have to do is add the hot water (we even have that ready to go too!).
