Our Story

Our Story

As a little girl, I would sit for hours, playing with the tea set my Nana was gifted on her wedding day. Each piece was delicate, hand-painted with intricate pink roses. I adored the ritual of taking tea with her—the soft clink of the cups, and how time seemed to slow in those precious moments.


Fast forward 40 years, and I still treasure those quiet moments with my Nana. When it came time to plan my wedding, I knew I wanted to carry that same sense of elegance and intimacy into the day. Inspired, I made that beautiful pink rose tea set the centrepiece of my vision—an opulent, vintage-inspired reception where my guests could sip tea from delicate china and be transported to a bygone era.


When I couldn’t find a supplier who could bring my vision to life, I decided to create it myself. I began collecting vintage china, each piece chosen with care.


We celebrated our wedding with a dreamy afternoon tea, surrounded by family and friends. After the day ended, I couldn’t bear to part with my beloved collection and wanted to share the joy and beauty with others. And so, Vintage Tea Party was launched in 2015—a passion turned into a business.


Ten years on, we continue to grow, creating unforgettable memories and doing what we love. Our luxury afternoon tea service has become part of so many magical moments—weddings, corporate events, birthdays, christenings, and more. While we’ve had the honour of serving royalty and celebrities, it’s the everyday moments of joy, love, and celebration that inspire us most.


The dedication we pour into every event has been recognised with a 5-star Google rating and several awards, including recognition from the Global Wedding Industry. However, it’s the glowing smiles and heartfelt thank-yous from our clients that truly make us proud.


At Vintage Tea Party, we believe every celebration should feel like a dream. Whether you’re planning a vintage-themed wedding, an intimate afternoon tea, a baby shower, a birthday, or a corporate event, we’re here to make your occasion beautiful and memorable.


We’d love for you to share in the magic of our vintage china. If you’re planning something special, we’d be honoured to be a part of your story.
