The Vintage Tea Service is a boutique vintage china hire and afternoon tea specialist, offering beautifully curated tableware and optional catering for weddings, celebrations, and events of all sizes. With over 200 unique teacup and saucer designs, along with elegant teapots, cake stands, silver-plated cutlery and more, the collection has been lovingly built to help couples and hosts create charming, unforgettable tablescapes.
The Vintage Tea Service began in 2020 and proudly serves Cheshire, Liverpool, The Wirral, Merseyside, Manchester, North Wales, Shropshire and surrounding regions.
The business also supports clients further afield on request and has been celebrated as a recommended supplier at The Love Shack Weddings in Knutsford.
The Vintage Tea Service began with a simple love for beautiful, nostalgic English china and the joy it brings to special occasions. Over time, this passion grew into a carefully curated collection of high quality bone china pieces sourced from across the UK, selected for their craftsmanship, elegance, and ability to transform any event into something truly memorable.
What started as a creative idea has now become a trusted, muchloved service used by couples, families, and event hosts across the region.
Working with couples is at the heart of The Vintage Tea Service. Every wedding is unique, and being invited into that journey — helping shape the look, feel, and emotional atmosphere of someone’s most meaningful day — is an honour.
The joy comes from listening to a couple’s ideas and turning them into reality, whether that means designing a fully coordinated vintage afternoon tea, creating a bespoke mix and match palette, or simply helping them discover the perfect china to complement their theme. The service is deeply personal, collaborative and thoughtful, and seeing a couple’s reaction to their finished setup is one of the most rewarding parts of the work.
