Vintage Tea Party packages
.....by Dollys are tailor made and styled to suit your individual requirements. We pride ourselves on giving a personalised service and will add a touch of vintage tea party charm and effortless style by decorating your venue or home with our eclectic mix of vintage items. After the event we can come back to collect the next day, All we ask is that crockery, china, cutlery and glassware are washed up in warm, soapy water carefully by hand, (due to their age and delicate nature, we ask that you please don't use a dishwasher!) For an additional charge we can stay to serve, clear away and pop on our marigolds to do it for you (just like your very own vintage fairies!).
We custom each of our services to your needs, therefore prices will vary. Once you have contacted us with your requirements we will send you a personalised quotation and from this point we suggest arranging an initial consultation at Dollys showroom to discuss the details of your soiree.

Catering collaborations
Over the past 5 years we have had the pleasure of working alongside many other outside catering companies for weddings and larger events and we would love to collaborate with your chosen suppliers or venue.
We also have recommended suppliers who are able to match the service, quality and level of presentation that we have always prided ourselves on and I am happy to offer their details to you upon request. These are caterers with whom we have worked along side on many events, meaning you can be assured everything will run tickity boo!
Rest at ease that whoever you choose to provide your culinary delights, I will liaise with them throughout the process to give guidance on the tableware that may be needed, how to style it and give direction on the etiquette of a 'proper vintage tea'.
