Private Events

Looking for a truly special way to celebrate? A private event at Lily Pad Mahjong Parlor means the entire parlor is yours. Whether it’s a birthday, a corporate team-building night, or a girls’ night out, our private experiences offer an elevated, personalized way to learn and play Mahjong in a beautiful setting — just steps from Wrigley Field. All private events must be paid in full at the time of booking.

Unlike our larger group classes, a private event gives you:

• Exclusive use of the parlor for your group only (2.5 hours, 8–48 guests)
• Personalized instruction tailored to your group’s pace and skill level
• Dedicated instructors/hosts to guide your tables
• Mahjong tables, sets, and supplies provided
• Self-serve snacks & drinks like sparkling water, tea, and still water
• Branded paper products
• Setup and cleanup handled for you
• A weekend surcharge applies to Friday-Sunday bookings

We offer three options for Private Events:

Open Play Events

Perfect for birthdays, casual gatherings, or team-building where most guests already know how to play.

• $500 minimum for 16 players
• After the minimum is met, it's $35 per additional guest
• Includes snacks, tea, seltzer, water, and use of our branded party paper goods
• Note: Open play events do not include Mahjong instruction

Instructor-Led Special Event Classes

Great for bridal showers, corporate groups, bachelorette parties, or birthday parties with guests new to Mahjong.

• $90 per person (A weekend surcharge applies to Friday- Sunday bookings)
• Includes full Mahjong 101 instruction, guided play, and hands-on coaching
• Snacks, tea, seltzer, water, and branded party paper goods provided
• 2.5 hour session with trained instructors
• Minimum of 8 guests
