Curated mahjong setup at a private Austin event space

PRIVATE EVENTS · CURATED MAHJONG

Mahj in the Wild.

Your occasion. Our obsession. Mahjong, brought beautifully to wherever your people gather.

THE CONCEPT

Mahjong, but make it a moment.

Mahj in the Wild is what happens when mahjong leaves the dining room. Pop-ups at restaurants. Private parties at home. Pool parties with our floating tile set. Birthdays, bachelorettes, baby showers, book clubs, holiday gatherings, and the dinner clubs that want to add a little something to their usual Thursday.

I bring the tiles, the curation, and the table. You bring your people.

PRIVATE EVENTS

Your occasion, elevated.

A locale you wouldn't think to book yourself. Tiles and mats curated to your theme. A guided night for new players, a beautifully set table for the seasoned ones. You bring your people. I bring the rest.

✦ A locale worth showing up for

Every location is chosen for your occasion. Restaurants, private rooms, rooftops, pools, your favorite spot, or somewhere I help you find.

✦ Tiles and mats curated to your theme

A Texan birthday gets the Texas tiles. A coastal bachelorette gets the Amalfi set. A baby shower gets soft pastels and florals. I match my collection to your occasion so every detail looks intentional.

✦ I bring everything

Tiles, mats, racks, dice, current NMJL cards, the whole setup. You don't buy a set, study rules in advance, or set up a thing. Just walk in.

✦ Built for your group

Beginners get just enough instruction to play real hands by the end. Experienced players get a beautifully set table and the freedom to dive in. I tailor the night to fit.
