Pretty Lovely Teas (PLT) offers three core afternoon tea experiences: Full Service, Buffet Service, and Grazing. Each is suited to different types of events, but the common thread is that we always come to you and set everything up in your home. If you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for below, our team will develop a custom concept to meet your needs. We’re here to serve you!  

Please note that this page highlights the logistics of each tea package; to view our food and beverage menus, select “Tea Menu” in the navigation bar.

    This is the Lady Mary Crawley of teas: regal, fabulous, and made for Highclere Castle (aka Downton Abbey). Carson would approve.

    Our full service model is turnkey entertaining – we take care of every detail. This is a seated tea; in addition to the food and hot tea service, PLT also brings the place settings and professional florals to set a gorgeous table. We handle food styling (serving pieces provided) and tea service, meaning that we bring the teacups, saucers, and necessary accoutrements to make and serve tea to your guests. When your event is over, our team clears everything and leaves your kitchen in pristine condition. This is a wonderful option for intimate gatherings such as birthdays.

    *For food options, please refer to the “Classic Tea” and “Seasonal” menus on the Tea Menu page.

  • The Royal Affair Package

    This is a Buffet Tea

    • 2 Hour Hot Tea Service

    • All China, Linens, & Cutlery Provided

    If Lady Whistledown hosted a soirée, she’d opt for this setup: proper and timeless, but with the flexibility to mingle and soak in all the gossip.

    Unlike the above, Buffet Service is not a seated affair. We design a gorgeous, self-serve buffet table full of sweet and savory bites (plus florals) and keep the treats flowing. The tea itself is full service: we bring the teacups, saucers, and necessary accoutrements to make and serve tea to you and your guests. PLT cleans up after the event and leaves your home just as we found it. Buffet Service is ideal for larger events such as baby and bridal showers.

    *For food options, please refer to the “Classic Tea” and “Seasonal” menus on the Tea Menu page.

  • Pretty lovely grazing

    Starting Price $850/ Feeds 15 guests

    Elizabeth Bennet called and wants her tea back. Like our favorite heroine, this option is all substance and no fuss, an elegant yet updated take on the afternoon tea tradition.

    PLT Grazing is a great choice for those who want something a little cozier and more laid-back. You order and PLT sets everything up. We also provide chic, elevated disposables – paper plates and napkins + plastic cutlery and serving pieces – to round out the offering (think Meri Meri, not Party City). Tea service is not included and our team leaves after setting up the food (no cleanup provided). We love this option for girls’ weekends, reunions, children’s birthdays, and bachelorettes.

    *Please be sure to inform us of any food allergies especially nut allergies as this spread typically provides items containing or have been contaminated.

  • À La Carte

    Emma Woodhouse, is that you? We know that it can take a moment to find the perfect match, and we’re here to create something that suits you (and your event!) flawlessly.

    We can mix and match elements from our above packages for a custom experience. Please submit an inquiry to start the conversation.
