Private Party FAQ's

To help make the planning stages of your party a smashing success, we have provided below a few questions you'll likely be asked during your initial call and complimentary consultation with our Event Planner.

Consider your answers to these questions before inquiring about a Mad Hatter Party:
  • What is the ideal date and time of your celebration? Do you have a back up date, or two?
  • What kind of event are you celebrating? Are there particular traditions or themes we should know about?
  • Is the guest of honor being surprised or are they helping make the plans?
  • How many people are you anticipating will celebrate with you? (Just a guesstimate range, your final count isn't due right now)
  • Do you need a gift table? a favor table? a game table?
  • What kind of music would you like to be played?
  • Do you want bare tables (dark-stained wood, custom built) or would you prefer white table cloths?
  • What color napkins would you prefer? We typically use light grey but can order a specific color of your choosing.
  • Would you prefer a customized catering package with a beverage station? a high tea buffet? 
  • When would be a good day and time for you to come in for your complimentary consultation? Our Event Planner is here weekdays from 9:00am until 3:00pm.
