Tea Traditions did an amazing job catering my baby shower! Natalie was always responsive and helped me select the correct amount of food for the event. She was so hands on and helped to decorate the table to match the pumpkin theme which turned out beautiful. The food was absolutely delicious and I would hire them again and again! Several people at the event asked for their contact info for their future events which says so much! read more

Hiring Natalie / Tea Traditions to cater our daughter's first birthday was a great decision. The delicious spread looked absolutely beautiful, and the serverware, cups, saucers and cutlery were so elegant.

We definitely plan to hire Tea Traditions again for future events. read more

They showed up on time, food was amazing dishes and displays of food were incredible. We all had a great time.

Natalie was so amazing! She was very patient with our response time as we got super busy during the months leading up to the holidays but my engagement party was everything I had hoped for! The food was amazing and the tea was also very nice! I throughly enjoyed every item. My personal favorite was the mango crostinis! I highly recommend choosing tea traditions for your next tea event! read more

We used Tea Traditions for an event my wife and I were hosting for approx 20 people in July. The owner was being semi-responsive initially due to travel over the long July 4th long weekend. However, we hopped on a call a few days before the event and ironed out all the details. Coordination leading up to the event was great. We hired a server (Haley) for our event. Haley was extremely helpful and did a fabulous job! Overall service, coordination, food - very impressive. Now to the not so impressive part. Despite numerous back and forth emails and all the coordination leading up to the event, there was a critical mistake/mix-up in the food order. As a result, we fell short of food for our guests at the event. Never a nice feeling for a host when something like that happens. Really unfortunate because everything else about Tea Traditions was pretty decent. read more

I can't say enough about how amazing our experience was! Natalie was absolutely spot on from our first conversation to the day of the event. The Royal Tea Baby Shower for my Daughter in Law had many moving parts and Natalie and her team worked with us to create the PERFECT day!! There is nothing I would change..the food was delicious..the service was spectacular and the memories will last a lifetime. I can't wait to book another party with her. Tea Traditions is the only way to go. read more

I hired Natalie / Tea Traditions to cater one of my wedding events and I cannot recommend her enough. Its been a couple of weeks since the event and my guests are still RAVING about the food, it was hands down the highlight of the event. Everything was amazing but you cannot miss out on the scones and the tea sandwiches. She did such an amazing job setting up, and working with me on the menu it was so easy to work with her. She even came up after to clean up it made my life so much easier. I will definitely be hiring her again for something in the future Pictures courtesy of Wedding Documentary read more

Hiring Tea Traditions was the best decision I made for a wedding shower that I hosted. Natalie was easy to work with, everything adhered to schedule & my guests were impressed with the food, service & presentation. I hired a Tea Traditions server (Haley) so that even I could enjoy the party. Haley took care of setting up the food, serving tea, clearing, and even washing dishes. Haley somehow managed to be professional, friendly & unobtrusive all at the same time. I could not have hosted such a wonderful party without Natalie, Haley and Tea Traditions. read more

The food was delivered and set up nicely before I even arrived - and for realtors that are doing broker tours this is like a genie popping out of a bottle. The food was unique, delicious and there are healthy options too with beautiful presentation. You can add staff for very reasonable which I will do sometimes in the future. Natalie is a doll, very professional and I highly recommend and will use again myself. read more

Natalie from Tea Traditions did a supreme job at our wedding at the Hakone Estate and Gardens in Saratoga. We booked the royal tea package and all our guests and vendors enjoyed the British high tea as well the fresh linens, and vintage silverware. The sandwiches were tasty and also quite filling. Salad was fresh and everyone loved the teas, coffees and lemonade. We appreciate that that it was easy to book, affordable, and beautiful. Thank you so much, Natalie ! read more

We used Tea Traditions for my daughters birthday party and they provided the most exceptional services. The kids absolutely loved the adorable teacups and saucers, chocolate strawberries, and apple and peanut butter sandwiches. Even though this was a kids birthday party, it ended up being an even better party for the adults attending. They couldn't get enough of the mango chutney and cheese crostinis, veggie quiche and scones with clotted cream. I'm still getting texts on how much my guests loved the catering! Natalie was extremely helpful during the planning process, as well. She made it so easy and effortless to plan my event. I felt stress free the entire way through. I highly recommend Tea Traditions and can't wait to hire them again! read more

Natalie from Tea Traditions catered our baby shower and was a joy to work with from start to finish. She's incredibly responsive, super flexible and was very detailed and informative during our initial call. She made great recommendations and made sure we covered every detail for what we'd need for our event. It was easy to book and keep track of cost and the menu selection had tons to choose from and we found just the right display style for our venue. The food was DELICIOUS, was just the right amount and our guests raved about it. She also wasn't fazed in the least when we found out a week before our event that our venue's "full kitchen" didn't include an oven and we found an alternative solution that worked great. She was onsite during our event as well, was so friendly and helpful during set up and breakdown as well as throughout the event and really went above and beyond for us. Thank you so so much Natalie and can't wait to work with you again! read more

We loved working with Natalie! We contacted her with only a week's notice for a tea party for 50 women and she was a pro. The set up was just gorgeous - all the beautiful porcelain plates, silver platters and tea cups blew us away. It makes the day and setting feel special. Natalie is a powerhouse! She not only does she make all the food herself, she sets up in a breeze, serves and cleans up as well. It really is so impressive and she's so professional. The serving was completely unnecessary but so nice of her! Now, let's talk about the food - not only was everything delicious and professionally presented, but it felt like we were having high tea at the Fairmont! Just gorgeously laid out and the spread was enough to feed us twice over. The portions are generous so no one will leave hungry. We did the fit for a queen package I think! Everyone who came gave us fantastic feedback, and it's all thanks to Natalie! Thank you Natalie! read more

From the time we put in our order to feeding our guests, Tea Traditions rocked it in all levels. Natalie was responsive to my questions, and made sure the food would safely get into the car. The guests and I thought the sandwiches, quiche, scones and fruits were all very tasty. For reference, we were expecting 24 people for a bridal shower. We ordered about 36 sandwiches, 6 quiches, and about 24 scones. We had about 18 sandwiches left, 4 quiches, and 12 scones left. Many of the guests took some home with them because it turns out they weren't really hungry. If I had another brunch or tea party, Tea Traditions would be the place I would order food from. They do have a minimum to process the order. read more

Worked with Natalie at Tea Traditions for my daughter's 1st birthday luncheon. She was a GEM helping me with my many questions during the planning process. Super sweet. The tea sets were soooo beautiful and all my guests absolutely loved the food - they were delicious! I absolutely recommend Tea Traditions. read more

We contacted, Natalie a couple of weeks ago for an event. She was friendly and professional, and we got through all the way to planning our menu. Out of nowhere, she ghosted us. No response to email messages or phone calls. Now we are days before our event with no food planned. One of the reasons we chose her was because of the fabulous reviews on this site. Knowing, that, it was important that we add our experience on here. read more

Natalie at Tea Traditions made planning a bridal shower for my future sister-in-law stress-free and easy - she was so helpful when it came to picking out a package, and answered all of my many questions. On the day of the shower, she set everything up and plated everything beautifully, and the serving ware and tea cups and saucers were adorable! Everyone raved about the food and tea (we had the peach tea), and we had plenty of food left for guests to take home. The noodle salad was a favorite of mine, as well as the smoked salmon sandwiches. Natalie even generously let us use an extra vase of flowers she had for a table decoration, which was perfect because we didn't have any flowers on the table with the food. She truly went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations! Also, Natalie is very kind and gracious and was a joy to work with! I can't recommend Tea Traditions highly enough! read more

We worked with Tea Traditions for our end-of-year party for around 35-40 people and Natalie and her staff delivered! Natalie assessed our needs and recommended the perfect package given our dietary restrictions and event size. She was very professional throughout the whole process, checking in with us before the event to reassure us that everything would be great. She even made time to hop on a call with us to sort out the menu during the planning process too, and it made working with Tea Traditions such a breeze and a pleasure. On the day of, she came in at the time she promised and set things up beautifully, our guests were RAVING about the black tea! The sandwiches were also delicious, and the presentation was on POINT. We're working with Tea Traditions again for our big Diploma Ceremony for an Academic Program for 200+ people and again, the process of booking Tea Traditions was so painless, and Natalie is so thoughtful that we will definitely make Tea Traditions a staple caterer to work with in the future! read more

Worst customer service of my life. I booked Natalie (the owners daughter) well over 2 months ahead of time for my son's first birthday. I called several times to ensure she would be saving my spot. She told me to send her my order via email and said everything will be ready on that day. I called the day before for her to tell me my order wasn't big enough so she just decided to cancel. She told me this the day BEFORE the party. Leaving me with no time to hire another caterer for a tea party. Absolutely ruined my son's first birthday. I wouldn't recommend this unprofessional lady to my worst enemy. I would give negative stars if I could. read more

I had a bridal shower for about 24 people and we used Tea Traditions for catering. Natalie was wonderful and went above and beyond - stayed during the party to help since the server wasn't able to, served tea, offered other drinks, etc. The food was great - we ordered the tomato goat cheese tart, chicken tarragon salad sandwich, cucumber sandwich, roast beef sandwich, salad, cranberry orange scones with lemon curd. Everything was so yummy - especially the sandwiches and scones. The tea cups were also so cute. The way Natalie set up the food table and all the tea cups/dining things was perfect. We would 100% recommend Tea Traditions and would love to work with Natalie again in the future!! read more

When ordering fruit trays please be aware of the quality and proportions, my experience was not good.

We recently held a tea party for 25 people at our home in the South Bay. Thanks to Tea Traditions, the event was a magnificent and memorable celebration! It is clear that owner Natalie and her staff love what they do - and this is expressed in their service and delicious food. The tables - with vintage porcelain teacups, cut glass plates, silver carafes and polished trays - looked regal! Not only were the tables set for royalty, but the food was delicious. My guests and I were over the moon with the sumptuous feast. Please taste Natalie's homemade Bundt cakes, scones with clotted cream and lemon curd, roast beef and horseradish finger sandwiches! You will understand.... "Divine," as they might say at Buckingham Palace! What a glorious day - what a glorious tea party. I highly recommend Tea Traditions and am a loyal and grateful client! Although I gave Tea Traditions an unqualified 5-star rating, they deserve more than ten stars! Thank you, Natalie, for cherished memories of a beautiful (and delicious) event read more

We hired Tea Traditions to cater for a friend's baby sprinkle and they were perfect! The guest table set up with the teacups and saucers were a hit, each cup was so cute and unique. We got the Fit for a Queen package and everyone loved the sandwiches and desserts (special shout out for the lemon cookies and brownies.) Everyone in our party loves tea time, but it was extra nice to have tea time come to us instead. Would highly recommend Tea Traditions if you love tea time, but don't want the hassle of preparing everything and don't already have cute tea cups and saucers yourself. read more

Natalie and Tea Traditions were so wonderful in many ways! When my sister passed away, we wanted to honor her with a tea party which she loved and Natalie made it happen with ease and beauty for over 100 guests. it was amazing how everything came together on time and with every detail to perfection. We are grieving our sister/wife/aunt and mom. as it happened so quick and Natalie handled everything being sensitive to what we were going through. Thank you so much! read more

I had a tea party for my daughter's bridal shower and I was blown away by the attention to detail and Macy was excellent hostess. The sandwiches, scones, desserts, fruit were all excellent.

When I began planning a special event for a family member, I had envisioned a classy and elegant tea party, and Natalie from Tea traditions was there to make it a reality. It was everything we expected and then some. The presentation was beautiful, the food was fresh and delicious, the service was very professional and my communication with Natalie was great. On the day of the party, the food arrived well in time and was laid out tastefully. The delicious finger sandwiches, made with quality ingredients, were presented on three-tiered tea trays, as were the heavenly cranberry scones served alongside clotted cream. Our guests loved everything including the vegetable tart, the lavender cookies, delicate savory bites and luscious desserts. Many of them went for second and third helpings!! The tea was served piping hot in exquisite vintage tea cups, offering a truly delightful English experience. The staff member, Cary, assigned to help us, was very pleasant yet professional, and made sure everything was readily available and that all finger foods, salad and dessert items were replenished as needed. It was gratifying to see our guests enjoying the delectable food and the unique afternoon tea experience. We received numerous compliments for hosting such a fun and amazing party, and our guests are still talking about the delicious food they enjoyed at the party. Natalie was without a doubt instrumental in making this party such a success and for that we thank her! Overall, it was an exquisite experience. If you want to host an elegant tea party, think no more. Make sure to reach out to Natalie at Tea Traditions! read more

Having Tea Traditions cater my my moms birthday was the best decision and I can't wait to hire them again. Natalie was so professional and extremely friendly even while busy tending to all my guest and the party needs. I can't thank her enough for going above and beyond, making this event unforgettable. Everything was absolutely perfect, the food was delicious and the set up was dreamy. Thank you Tea Traditions for such a remarkable event! read more

Natalie from Tea Traditions was fantastic! She did an event for us for 40 people with less than a week's notice, and nonetheless, everything was so beautifully put together. She did a fantastic job of decor and presentation. I don't know how she can do it all by herself, but she does. On top of it all, she served us, which was completely unnecessary but so lovely and sweet of her to do so. The food is DELICIOUS. Refined and in line with high tea - felt on par with going to a proper afternoon tea somewhere. We devoured the food and Natalie is generous with her portions, so don't worry about people leaving hungry (they'll be stuffed and you'll still have some leftovers too!). We ordered the Fit for a Queen package - the tea cups, glass china, and serving ware brings it all together and makes you feel like it's a special occasion. We all loved it and took lots of photos! I love that this is a woman-owned, Bay Area business. We love supporting women in our community and this is a prime example for why we do so. We will definitely be using Natalie again soon. Very reasonably priced and excellent service! Thank you Natalie!!!!! read more

We recently had an afternoon tea for 40 people at our home. The size of the party was too big to have a successful event at a tea room so we catered the event. We were lucky enough to find Natalie at Tea Traditions. Natalie was a pleasure to work with. She gave us multiple options for tableware, food and buffet layouts. We wanted an elegant event but did not want to have an old victorian feel but newer more rustic look in our garden. We opted for a rustic, Fit for a queen package. Tea Traditions exceeded our expectations by far. The rustic buffet was perfect in our garden. The sandwiches were fresh and tasty, the salads were amazing, and the scones and desserts were a great finishing touch. You could tell by the taste that all the desserts were made with fine ingredients. The lemon tarts with rasberries were AMAZING!!!!!! The young lady that worked our event was so polite and professional. Planning and putting on events is stressful but working with Tea Traditions was a breeze. We are planning a holiday event and hope to book Tea traditions to try some of the other items on the menu. read more

I set out to plan an elegant tea party for my sister's bridal shower, and luckily stumbled upon Tea Traditions. I knew they were the perfect fit because they have it all - the chinaware, tea sets, tier trays, delicious food, etc. - and it took the guesswork and extra sourcing out of the planning picture. Natalie is a WONDERFUL light of a human being to work with. She understood the assignment, completely. She made the process simple with the packages she already has laid out and will talk to you over the phone to dial down the details of how you want things served. Even during a hectic week for her, she was a professional and completely showed out with her equipment, food, and kindness. Tea Traditions has such a beautiful stockpile of vintage tea sets that really could elevate any space for an elegant party. On top of that, we were lucky enough to have Natalie work our event for around 25 people. She was outstanding and even helped with tasks and other food that weren't her responsibility. She took the role of an attendant and shined to help make the party a success. I highly recommend Tea Traditions if a lovely tea party is what you seek. High Tea is not just reserved for the British! We can do it too To anyone planning a party (especially to people leaving nasty reviews for caterers right now), please keep in mind that you have to work WITH your vendor, not throw everything on them and expect the world. If you want to have the event of your dreams, you also need to put your vision and energy into it on the day-of, and just be kind to others - it's not that hard. read more

In response to Lisa's daughter who messaged me to remove my prior review (not update but actually remove the review - had she asked me to reconsider the experience without XYZ, I would have been happy to reconsider), I said food was "fine." I didn't particularly like or dislike the food. It wasn't amazing...my coworkers thought it was amazing but this is my review and not my coworkers' reviews. While there were some unfortunate events with the owner's mom, who was the owner at the time I worked with them and not the current owner, that doesn't excuse the behavior of the rest of the staff who were also rude. There was easy parking...there's a parking lot in the back of the building. Had the business asked me to reimburse them for parking fees, I would have happily obliged but again, no one asked and there were at least 4 people that were working that day. All in all, current response and message from the new owner speaks for itself. Asking to remove reviews, confusing response, etc PS - never said that I'd hire you guys again after this experience...seems like this business just doesn't read or communicate well which is what another reviewer have mentioned as well in a 2 star review left 3 years ago. Please do not reach out again. read more

We decided to do something a little different for my wife's birthday. We had a tea party and invited all friends who also had little ones about the age of our kids (3 and 6), so it was approximately 11 adults and 11 kids. Tea Traditions exceeded all of our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious (everything was good, the biggest raves were about the quiche and the brownies, plus the tea of course), and our caterers Mary and Lisa were incredibly nice, professional, and courteous. They took care of everything! They arrived more than an hour before our party, set up a full buffet on one table, hot tea on another table, iced tea and lemonade in the kitchen, and kept everything refilled throughout the party. They had a little menu set up, they answered questions about the food, and they were great with the kids. They washed dishes in our sink and cleaned up everything when the party was over. Highly recommended! read more
