Private Tea Parties by Reservation at the Tudor House
|

The Tudor House is available for groups of 8 to 16 people for Tea Parties by reservation. Imagine
hosting your special occasion at our historic Tudor House, without having to worry about cooking,
catering or cleaning. Perfect for Birthdays, Bridal or Baby Showers, Mother’s Day, Holiday Parties,
Groups or Organizations or any other special celebration.
Taking Tea is not about a meal …Taking Tea is about the 3 R’s:
Renewal, Refreshment and Restoration.
Let Tudor House Tea help you celebrate those special moments of your life…with a Traditional
Afternoon Tea in our Historic English Tudor Cottage featuring tables draped with crisp linens, fresh
flowers, warm candlelight, peaceful harp tunes and exquisite fine china and flatware, along with
attentive and thoughtful service to you and your guests.
Our Traditional Afternoon Tea includes four courses of tea breads and scones, savory tea sandwiches
and hors d’oeuvres, fresh fruits and sweets and desserts. Three different teas of your choice accompany
the bountiful repast. We are happy to accommodate special requests and will seek to make your
gathering unique and special. Please inquire regarding special dietary needs.
During your tea party, you will learn more about the world of tea, its origins and history, and the fine
art of “Taking Tea”, including Victorian etiquette and social niceties during a special presentation by
the Lady of Tudor House.
A Sample Menu might consist of, but is not limited to, some of the following:
Three Teas of your choice…Bottomless Pots
First Course: Lemon-Blueberry Scones,
Apple-Cinnamon Tea Bread, English Crumpets, Lemon Curd,
Cinnamon Creamed Honey, Devonshire Cream and Butter.
Second Course: Smoked Salmon Rolls, Stilton and Pear Mini-Quiche,
Crab Cakes, Chicken, Cranberry and Walnut Salad Croissants,
Curried Egg Salad and Cucumber and Herbed Goat Cheese Tea Sandwiches.
Third Course: Chocolate Dipped Strawberries, Spiced Fruit Compote,
Fresh Fruit with Lemon Curd Cream.
Fourth Course: Lemon Tarts, Chocolate Mousse with Raspberries,
Key Lime Shortbread, Jasmine Truffles, Victoria Cake.
Our menu changes often, especially with the seasons, but one thing is for certain, you and your guests
will not go hungry!
After your Tea, feel free to browse our gift shop offerings. Our teas and scone mixes will allow you to
take a little of the afternoon’s refreshment home with you to enjoy and remember.
For all this, we ask only $15 per person.
The proceeds are donated to the YWCA Domestic Assault Shelter
for women and children right here in our community.
Thank you for considering Tudor House Tea for your next gathering.

"What is so rare as a day in June - unless it is an afternoon tea party! For a few hours we were transported to
Merrie Olde England at the Tudor House.
"We wish to thank you for providing such an enjoyable experience for the women of Prince of Peace Lutheran
Church on June 18. Everything was perfect - from the delicious refreshments, the varieties of unusual teas, the
beautifully appointed tables to the delightful surprise of a harpist providing background music!
"And we all learned so much when you took time to tell us about the tradition of stopping in the afternoon for a
"cuppa", and discuss the most desirable types of teas and varieties and the unexpected health benefits. Your
charming personality shown through it all!"
Sincerely,
Bea Olsen & Jan Christianson
Prince of Peace Lutheran Church
The tea party was excellent. I love to be exposed to "different" types of entertainment and fellowship. I
especially enjoyed the history lesson and learning more about the many health benefits of tea as well as the
beautiful harp music. The sandwiches and desserts were very tasty and I think it's great she incorporates low-fat
recipes without sacrificing taste. I admire Jeri for donating funds to the YWCA to help abused women and
children. Jeri and her home decor are warm and inviting. I had a really good time and I am excited about being
able to get my tea from a local vendor from now on.

I also enjoyed spending time with everyone. It's always good to come out of your comfort zone and try something
new. The atmosphere was so peaceful & comforting, I really felt at home. I would definitely share this with other
women I know. Thanks again Jeri for welcoming us to the "Tudor House Tea" not only for the fellowship but for
educating us on the wonderful benefits tea has to offer.
Have a Blessed Day!!

Jeri,
I so enjoyed the tea party at Tudor House Tea ... The tea! ... The treats! ... The atmosphere! ... The hostess!
Everything was so perfect. I noticed how mellow the group was after we had some tea!
That was nice, too.
Thank you and have a happy day!

Your Ladyship,
We had a wonderful time at Tudor House yesterday - as a matter of fact, a perfect time!
You're such a warm, lovely and talented lady, Jeri! I'd again make a reservation for our group - Kalamazoo has
nothing like this. Thank you again, from all of us!
Sincerely,
Judith Steere, Queen

Dear Jeri,
Our Tea Party last week at your Tudor House was so enjoyable! Thank you so very much - I have already been
contacted by members of our club who could not attend that day to say they hoped we would do it again! So, who
knows - we may be back!
Again thanks.
Sincerely,
Mary Tyler
It was the best tea experience we've ever had. We had a wonderful time and you fed us so well that we didn't go
out to dinner as we had planned :-) I know you will see us again, and I've already sent your information and
web address to some of the other area chapter queens.
Thanks again.
Cindy Root
Queen, Rose Red Beauties
