Our story
We’re Gemma and Stef—friends, mums, and the duo behind Top Tier Tea Hire. With six kids, two husbands, two dogs and a rabbit between us, life is wonderfully full—and so is our love for creating beautiful, memorable moments.
Stef is our vintage queen, with a fantastic eye for design, colour, and all things fabulous. With years spent in the beauty and fashion industry, she’s the style icon of the business—bringing flair, funk, and a touch of glamour to every setup.
Gemma brings over 20 years of experience in events and hospitality, having delivered hundreds of celebrations, big and small. She’s all about seamless planning, perfect details, and making every event unforgettable.
Together, we created Top Tier Tea Hire to help others add a sprinkle of vintage charm and a whole lot of fabulous to their special occasions. Whether it's an intimate afternoon tea or a big family bash, we’ve got the pieces—and the passion—to make it perfect.
”Absolutely perfect from start to finish!
Top Tier Tea Hire helped make our baby shower feel like something out of a magazine! The vintage crockery was stunning—each teacup and plate felt thoughtfully chosen and beautifully styled. Gemma and Stef were a dream to work with—friendly, professional, and full of helpful advice. They really went above and beyond to make sure everything looked gorgeous and ran smoothly. All our guests commented on how lovely the setup was. Can’t recommend them highly enough
