Courses & The Tea Planner

Learning the Art of Afternoon Tea

What is the Tea Planner?
The Tea Planner is a step-by-step guide that takes you through the entire process of hosting a tea, from 4 guests to 400. It covers invitations, menus, table settings, timelines, and all the little details you might not think of, so hosting feels effortless.
I've never hosted a tea before. Is this right for me?
Absolutely! The Tea Planner and my courses were created especially for the woman who doesn't know what she doesn't know about tea. You'll be guided gently through every step with confidence.
What will I learn in the Vintage Art of Afternoon Tea courses?
You'll learn how to brew a proper pot of tea, set a beautiful table, plan a menu of savories, scones, and sweets, practice gracious tea etiquette, and create a warm atmosphere where your guests feel treasured.
Can I use the Tea Planner for large events like church or community gatherings?
Yes. The planner scales from an intimate table for 4 all the way up to a grand gathering of 400, including tips for volunteers, table hostesses, and food quantities.
Do I need fancy china to host a lovely tea?
Not at all! Beauty comes from the heart of hospitality. I'll show you how to work with what you have, and if you need more for a large event, I have teacups and saucers available to rent.

Speaking, Rentals & Wellness

More Ways We Can Share Tea Together

What topics do you speak on?
I speak for women's, community, and church groups on Taking Time with Tea to Treasure Those You Love, Etiquette of Tea for Business and Pleasure, and Sharing Hospitalitea for building friendships in the empty nest season of life.
How do I book you for my group or event?
Simply reach out through the contact form below with your event date, group size, and the topic you're interested in. I'll get back to you to talk through the details.
Do you rent teacups and saucers?
Yes! I have a collection of 300 vintage teacups and saucers available to rent for large events, perfect for church teas, bridal showers, fundraisers, and community gatherings.
Do you also help women with sleep?
I do. After my own struggles, I spent years crafting a natural system for sleeping well every night. I love helping women find the least invasive, most beneficial natural choices for life's bumps, including quality rest.
Is your approach faith-based?
I love the Lord Jesus Christ, and my faith shapes how I serve. Everyone is welcome at my tea table, and I always encourage others to guard their hearts, for everything we do flows from it.
