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 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.
Unlike our larger group classes, a private event gives you:
- Exclusive use of the parlor for your group only (2.5 hours, 12–48 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 sparkling water, tea, and still water
- Branded paper products
- Setup and cleanup handled for you
We offer two options for Private Events:
