We have a plethora of beautiful princess dresses for your little princess to dress up in!  They are also more than welcome to wear a princess dress of their own to the tea party.

When should I arrive for the party?

Plan on arriving just 5-10 minutes early to your party! Our Let's Pretend staff will take care of setting up any decorations or goodie bags you may have for your princess's party!

How far in advance should I make my party?

Our parties book up fast!  We recommend booking your princess's special day 1-2 months in advance to ensure the day and time requested is not already booked!

How long does a party last?

Our magical parties last an hour and a half, with the exception of our horse drawn carriage Enchanted Tea Party which lasts 2 hours.

Can I add an extra 30 minutes during my party or the day of the party?  

In most cases we have a party right after yours, so we would not be able to accommodate an additional 30 minutes.  If you would like to request additional time, we encourage you to book the last party time slot for the day and call us to request the additional time. 

What happens if I cancel my party or my children get sick?

We require parties to put down a $100 non refundable deposit to book your party day, this deposit must be paid again if the party has to be cancelled and rescheduled for another date. 

What happens if guests arrive late?

We typically start the parties right on time, but per the parents request can wait a few extra minutes for guest to arrive.  If a guest arrives late we will get them transformed into a magical princess so they can be ready to join the tea party with the rest of the guests!

What days of the week are parties available?

Birthday parties can be hosted any day of the week but typically are held Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  To ensure availability for birthday party bookings, tea parties unfortunately cannot be held on the weekends, unless it is one week prior to the requested date and we have time slots available.

Of course! You can check out the beautiful photos on our website and stop in anytime during our store hours to check out the space and ask our wonderful staff any questions you may have.  We are always here to help!  Please note that online photos may be slightly different from the actual space.  While we keep our site up to date, we are constantly making small changes to our decor to keep it fresh and beautiful.
