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:

Open Play Events

  • $700 minimum for 24 players
  • After the minimum is met, it's $30 per additional guest

  • Note: Open play events do not include Mahjong instruction
