The Estate at River Run hosted a magical event that brought fairy tales to life amidst the grandeur of its historic grounds. On a delightful afternoon, young girls and their families were treated to an enchanting Tea Party with none other than their favorite Disney princesses.

The Tea Party, inspired by the enchanting “Be Our Guest” theme from Beauty and the Beast, took place in the Wedgwood Ballroom. With the Estate’s picturesque landscape as a backdrop, the event offered a glimpse into a world of fantasy and wonder. A single table, adorned with delicate linens and rose petals, was beautifully set under a grand chandelier. The table featured charming Beauty and the Beast-themed decorations, including candelabras and character figurines, creating an intimate and magical atmosphere, perfect for a royal gathering.

The highlight of the event was, of course, the presence of beloved Disney princesses. From Cinderella’s grace to Belle’s intellect, each princess captivated the young guests with their kindness and elegance. Dressed in exquisite costumes that mirrored their animated counterparts, the princesses made every moment feel like a scene from a storybook.

As laughter and excitement filled the air, guests enjoyed a delightful selection of teas and delectable treats. The Estate’s catering team ensured that the menu was as enchanting as the occasion itself, with petite sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, and an assortment of pastries that delighted both young and old alike.

Adding to the whimsy of the event, a cotton candy machine spun fluffy clouds of sugary goodness, delighting guests of all ages. The colorful treats added a touch of magic to an already enchanting afternoon, creating smiles and sweet memories.

Throughout the Tea Party, the young girls had the opportunity to interact with the princesses, asking questions about their adventures and posing for photographs. The joy on their faces as they met their idols was truly priceless, creating memories that will be cherished for years to come.

A professional photographer was on hand to capture every magical moment, from the delighted expressions of the children to the graceful movements of the princesses. Parents and children were able to relax and enjoy the event knowing that these special memories would be beautifully preserved.

The Tea Party at The Estate at River Run was not just an event; it was a celebration of childhood wonder and the enduring magic of fairy tales.
