We are a mobile tea experience that brings traditional afternoon tea to you — whether you’re hosting a garden party, bridal or baby shower, child’s birthday, or multi-generational gathering. We serve the greater DMV area (DC, Maryland, Virginia).
We provide everything but the venue. Each tea service includes a selection of fine teas, freshly baked scones with jam and cream, savory tea sandwiches, and elegant desserts — all presented on tiered trays and coordinating china.
We’re perfect for birthdays (young and old!), baby and bridal showers, retirement parties, church teas, book clubs, garden parties, and more. If you can imagine it, we can cater it.
You can submit a booking request directly on our website under the “Book Your Event” tab. We recommended reserving at least 4 weeks in advance to ensure availability.
A 50% non-refundable deposit is due to secure your booking.
We strive to offer the lowest prices in the region and believe the best parties are all-inclusive. Pricing depends on the type of tea service and number of guests, starting at $500.
Final head count and balance are due 7 days prior to the event. Extra supplies will not be available the day of the party, so we ask that only paid guests participate.
Cancelations can be make up to 7 days before the event; however, due to preparations, deposit is non-refundable. Balance is due 7 days before the event - if the balance is not paid, the party will be canceled and deposit forfeited.
We have contingency options including tented service or rescheduling based on availability. We’ll coordinate with you in advance to create a plan that ensures a beautiful experience rain or shine.
Yes! We love celebrating our loyal customers. Returning clients receive a 10% discount, plus you’ll receive a credit toward a future booking when a referral hosts their own event. Additionally, as a veteran-founded business, we are proud to offer a 10% discount to active duty military, retired veterans, and first responders. Just let us know when booking.
We do both! While we primarily cater private gatherings, we occasionally host pop-up events in parks, gardens, historic venues, and expos. Follow the Flutter on our socials to be the first to know!
