Common Questions

The only thing you should provide is any special décor, but this can be provided upon request for an additional charge.
How long will the party take with set-up and breakdown?
It takes approximately 1.5 hours to set up, 2 hours for tea, and 1 hour for breakdown. We are happy to host a longer tea at an additional charge.

We will absolutely try our best, just give us a call or send an email and we can chat about it!
