"She made it easy and fun and our team is ready for more!"

I've played mahj for over 25 years and Laurie explained the game to our team better than I ever could! She made it easy and fun and our team is ready for more!

"Laurie brings not only great energy, but also lots of interesting background on the diverse and long history of mahjong."

Highly recommend! We hired Laurie to teach us Mahjong for a friend's birthday, and everyone had a blast. Laurie brings not only great energy, but also lots of interesting background on the diverse and long history of mahjong. She brings everything you need to play — including cute decor (and even suggested themes for us — we went for mumus, margs, and mahjong — for a total mashup). Thank you Laurie for being an amazing host and providing such a fun experience. Totally worth it and ready to do it again!
