Beautiful vintage tableware hire for weddings and events
What Clients Say
Unlike picking a dress or a venue, you never quite know what you’re going to get on your big day when it comes vintage china - which is why I believe picking the right provider is one of the most important supplier decisions you will make. Pick one who can decode your thoughts and who naturally embodies your style and vision; one who is ready to supply and create magic with you. Read what my clients have said about myself and The Vintage Tea Service, not just weddings, but other events too.

Girl Guide Celebration
Amazing service - The Vintage Tea Service replied promptly to all emails and kept in contact throughout the hire process. Very efficient.
​
The china we hire for our afternoon tea for Girl Guiding event was beautiful, Sarah chose our colours carefully and to fit our theme. Delivery and collection was amazing and no need to wash the china afterwards, it was all taken care of. Just clear the plates, repack in the packaging and boxes and she collected. Would recommend for any event, bridal party, wedding, baby shower.

30th Birthday Party
You were great to work with and very efficient. You made it manageable to sort out all the way from America. The effort you put in with caterers/photos, so that it could all be visualised was so helpful.
​
Very grateful to you and your business.

80th Birthday Party
I recently hired The Vintage Tea Service to celebrate my mum’s 80th birthday. From the first point of contact with Sarah I knew the party was in good hands. Sarah really knows her stuff and willingly guided me through the process of ordering the right amount of china, the type of china and all the necessary additions. For a very reasonable charge Sarah delivered, set up and collected all the china – something which helped enormously. The china looked stunning and on arrival the guests were taken aback with how nice it looked – they still talk about it now!
​
I cannot recommend The Vintage Tea Service enough – the whole process from start to finish was second to none. Thank you Sarah – you helped make the party extra special.

Birthday Party
I recently hired china from The Vintage Tea Service for an afternoon tea for a very special birthday. What an excellent service! All of the china came ready to us. All I had to do was unpack it. I had everything I needed including cake stands, cake forks and cream and jam dishes. I hired mixed china so that everyone had their own individual set to use on the day. It looked beautiful and all of my guests commented on how fabulous it was. Hiring was very straightforward, and it was delivered to my place of work which was so convenient for me. I can’t recommend this service enough. I will definitely be using it again. Thank you for making my day so special.

Birthday Brunch
You were straightforward, easy and very efficient to deal with. You answered any questions I had promptly and made the whole process of hiring the china exciting and simple. You went out of your way to accommodate my requests and even bought some coffee pots especially for my event! It was all very, very pretty and got lots of compliments from my guests, I only wish I owned it myself​.

Thank you Sarah for all your help. You have been wonderful from our first enquiry to delivery.
We were looking for a tea set that was very special and unique to enjoy afternoon tea with. After Sarah's suggestions, they arrived looking absolutely beautiful.

We would 100% recommend The Vintage Tea Service and can't wait to arrange another beautiful afternoon tea. Thank you once again.

Birthday Celebration
From initial idea to the return of the tea set, which we had been requested not to clean but leave for the owner, a task I was more than happy not to have to do, the care and attention to detail from Sarah at The Vintage Tea Service was second to none. Sarah helped plan and choose the tea set for our intimate birthday bash. The tea set was provided with cutlery, napkins, plates, cups, saucers, teapots , sugar bowls, jugs and cake stands. The tea set was a mis-matched service hand chosen by Sarah and it exceeded our expectations. The personalised service provided by Sarah eased the worry of how to present the delights prepared to help us celebrate in style.I would not hesitate to return to The Vintage Tea Service and look forward to planning another tea party for any excuse to be able to celebrate in classic style at a very reasonable price safe in the knowledge that any request is not too much trouble.I look forward to using The Vintage Tea Service for any occasion.
