NYC Tea Houses to Help You Plan a Wedding Tea Ceremony 

The wedding tea ceremony can be a beautiful way to honor parents, reconnect with heritage, and include family in the celebration. But once you decide to include the tea ceremony, the next question is often: Where do we find the right tea, teaware, or guidance to put on a tea ceremony?

Many of these teahouses specialize in private tea ceremonies and offer workshops where you can experience the graceful practices of traditional tea service, including the gongfu cha method. These experiences not only deepen your understanding of the ritual but also offer a memorable moment to share with your loved ones before or after the wedding.

If you’d like to hold your tea ceremony at home or within your wedding venue, several tea houses also provide premium tea leaves, teaware, and guidance so you can recreate the same elegant atmosphere, such as at the groom’s home, the bride’s family residence, or your banquet hall.

Below, we’ve gathered a list of New York City tea houses that offer both the environment and resources to host or inspire your wedding tea ceremony.
