Each year, the Trinity United Methodist Victorian Tea Party hosted by Trinity United Methodist Church in Coeymans Hollow brings timeless charm and community spirit together for one unforgettable afternoon and once again, it was a sell-out success.
This annual event invites guests to slow down, sip thoughtfully and enjoy the time with friends and family. From the moment attendees stepped through the doors, they were transported to a Victorian-inspired setting filled with lace, florals and lovingly curated vintage details.
An Afternoon of Elegance & Community
Guests of all ages gathered around beautifully decorated tables adorned with:
- Vintage teacups and saucers
- Lace accents
- Floral décor
- Displays of vintage gloves, purses, and hats
Some attendees embraced the theme with their own Victorian-inspired attire, while volunteers and staff dressed the part as well — adding to the immersive, storybook atmosphere. Dress-up is always welcome (though never required), and it truly adds to the magic.
A Tea Selection to Delight
This year’s gathering featured 13 different tea options, offering something for every taste. Guests were treated to an assortment of sweet and savory bites, including:
- Finger sandwiches
- Fresh fruit
- Egg bites
- An array of delightful desserts
In true tea party fashion, volunteers served each table personally, creating a warm and welcoming experience that felt both elegant and intimate.
A Local Tradition That Sells Out Early
With tickets priced accessibly each year, making it a family-friendly outing, it’s no surprise this event consistently sells out well in advance. So make sure to keep a lookout next year!
The Victorian Tea Party has become more than just an event; it’s a cherished community tradition. One that celebrates hospitality, connection, and a little touch of vintage whimsy.
If you’re hoping to attend next year, keep an eye out early. This is one annual gathering you won’t want to miss. ☕
