Terms

Bookings & Guest Count

Please make your booking at least two weeks in advance.

A minimum of 10 guests is required for this package. The host is responsible for the cost of the minimum guest count, regardless of any cancellations.

Final guest count must be confirmed no later than 7 days prior to your event. This number will be used for staffing, catering, and invoicing purposes.

A 50% non-refundable retainer is required to secure your reservation. The remaining balance will be invoiced 7 days prior to your event.

What the Retainer Covers A non-refundable retainer is required to secure your event date and time. Once received, we begin the planning and preparation process, including reserving inventory, staffing, and coordinating with vendors where applicable. As this work begins immediately and the date is held exclusively for you, the retainer is non-refundable.

Party Duration

Tea parties include up to two hours of service time, not including set-up and clear down. If you’d like to extend the duration, just let us know in advance so we can plan and price accordingly.

For events held at a venue, it is the host’s responsibility to ensure the booking allows enough time for both set-up and clean-up.

Tea blending experiences require an hour of set-up and 30 minutes for clear down.

Set-Up & Clear-Down

Our service includes the full set-up of your tables with china, linens, and décor, as well as clearing and packing down at the end of the event.

Set-up and clear-down fees are based on guest count:

• Up to 10 guests – $75
• Up to 14 guests – $100
• 15+ guests – $150
• 25+ guests – $200
• 35+ guests – $250

If you’re planning a larger or more complex event, we’re happy to provide a custom quote.

Tea-Mates (Event Staffing)

Our trained tea-mates are here to make your event seamless by assisting with set-up, service, and support throughout the event.

• A minimum of 2 hours of service is required.
• Tea-mates are billed at $40/hour per person.
• For events with more than 14 guests, at least one tea-mate is required for the duration of the event.
• For 20+ guests, we may recommend additional staff for optimal service.

Travel Fees

We bring the tea to you! Travel within 25 miles of our home base in Austin, TX (78704) is included. For locations beyond 25 miles, a travel fee of $1 per mile (round trip) applies for each additional mile.

Payment & Sales Tax

• All pricing is subject to 8.25% Texas sales tax.
• Preferred payment methods: Zelle or Venmo.
• Full payment is due by the day of the event, unless otherwise arranged.
• Late payments may incur a 5% fee per week past due.

Cancellations & Rescheduling

• Cancellations made less than 7 days before the event (unless weather related) are subject to full payment of the remaining balance.

Weather Conditions (Safety & Cancellations)

Weather Conditions & Safety The Truly Terrific Tea Co. reserves the right to cancel or postpone an event if weather conditions (including but not limited to ice, freezing rain, snow, flooding, or unsafe road conditions) present a safety risk to our team, vendors, or guests. The decision to cancel for safety reasons will be made in coordination with the Client.

Retainer & Rescheduling In the event of a weather-related cancellation initiated by the Client or The Truly Terrific Tea Co., the Client’s non-refundable retainer will be applied as a credit toward rescheduling the event within twelve (12) months, subject to availability. Refunds are only issued at the discretion of The Truly Terrific Tea Co.
