Looking to host a private mahjong lesson or event this November? We’ve opened a limited number of private event dates and times for booking!
This listing is exclusively for private events with a maximum of 16 guests. Available options will be designated for groups of up to 8 or up to 16 guests, based on instructor availability and staffing.
For private events with more than 16 guests, please visit our Host an Event page for information about our large private event booking process and advance booking requirements.
Choose from the available November time slots below, select the date, time, and capacity that works best for your group, and submit your $100 nonrefundable deposit to secure your event date and time.
Whether you’re planning a girls’ night, birthday celebration, holiday gathering, team event, or simply want to bring your favorite people together around the mahjong table, Midnight Mahj will create a fun, polished, and fully hosted experience for your group.
November Availability (available dates and times are listed below)
Select your preferred date, time, and size from the available options during checkout. Each available slot reflects our instructor availability and the maximum group size we can accommodate for that date/time. Once a slot has been booked, it will no longer be available for selection. Sold Out means the date/time is no longer available for online booking.
Important: Please Select the Correct Event Capacity
Private events are staffed according to your guest count. When selecting your date/time option, please make sure the maximum number of guests you expect to attend does not exceed the maximum capacity listed for that option.
For example, if you expect 12 guests, you must select a date/time option that accommodates up to 16 guests. A date/time listed as up to 8 guests cannot be used for a 12-person event.
Your final guest count may be adjusted after booking, but your selected date/time must be able to accommodate your maximum anticipated guest count. We cannot guarantee that additional instructors will be available to accommodate an increase in guest count after booking.
If your preferred date or time is not currently available for the capacity you need, please sign up for the waitlist email distribution list on the listing for your preferred date/time. We’ll email you if an opening becomes available.
**The maximum capacity is not a required headcount. You do not need to fill every available seat. For example, you may book a 16-guest option for a group of 10. However, you may not book an 8-guest option for a group that may grow to 12. Your final guest count may be lower than the maximum capacity you selected, subject to the applicable minimum guest count.
What Your Private Event Includes
A dedicated Midnight Mahj instructor or instructors based on your group size and selected experience
All mahjong tiles and table setups
Professional instruction and/or guided play based on your group’s experience level
A fun, social atmosphere designed specifically for your group
Event coordination with Midnight Mahj
Private events can be customized to fit your group, with options for Mahj 101, Guided Play, and Open Play depending on your group's experience and desired format.
Instructor & Group Size
Our private lessons are staffed according to guest count and event type to ensure your group receives the appropriate level of instruction, support, and attention. Available date/time options are based on Midnight Mahj instructor availability and reflect the maximum number of guests we can accommodate for that particular slot.
When booking, please select a date/time option that accommodates the maximum number of guests you anticipate attending. In the booking form, you will be asked to provide your maximum anticipated guest count—the largest number of guests you expect may attend, even if you anticipate that your final headcount may be lower.
Why are capacities different? Each date/time option reflects the number of instructors Midnight Mahj has available for that particular date and the maximum group size we can appropriately staff.
Minimum Event Counts
Mahjong is traditionally played in groups of four, and we structure our private events accordingly. While we can accommodate some group sizes that are not multiples of four (minimum guest counts apply)
Events in Wilmington, DE: Minimum of 4 guests
Events outside of Wilmington, DE: Minimum of 8 guests
If your final guest count falls below the applicable minimum, your final invoice will be calculated based on the required minimum guest count rather than the number of guests attending.
For example, if you book an event outside of Wilmington for 8 guests but only 6 guests attend, the event will still be billed at the 8-guest minimum.
Travel & Location
Private event pricing applies to events located within a 10-mile radius of 19803 (Wilmington, DE). Events located more than 10 miles from 19803 will incur a $1.00 per mile travel fee, calculated based on the round-trip distance from 19803 to the event location. Please note that events outside of the 10-mile radius may not be able to be accommodated, depending on location, date, timing, and instructor availability.
If you book an available date/time and your event location is outside the 10-mile radius, you may still submit the required $100 deposit to secure the requested date/time while Midnight Mahj reviews the location. The booking remains subject to Midnight Mahj confirming that the event can be accommodated at that location.
If Midnight Mahj is able to accommodate the event, we will confirm the booking and the applicable travel fee will be added to your event balance.
If Midnight Mahj is unable to accommodate the event due to the location or other scheduling considerations, your $100 deposit will be refunded.
Travel fees are separate from the private event pricing listed below.
