When the Autumn Woods Begin to Whisper
Welcome to Witching Hour
When the last golden leaves have fallen and the harvest moon slips behind drifting clouds, a warm glow flickers deep within the enchanted woods. Candles burn low, ancient recipes are stirred, and the scent of herbs and spiced tea drifts through the autumn night.
You've been invited to gather where old magic lingers, stories are shared by candlelight, and every cup is brewed with a touch of mystery.
Witching Hour is Auntie M's graceful interpretation of Halloween: moody but warm, magical without becoming frightening, and filled with the same thoughtful hospitality, vintage details, and beautiful table styling found throughout every Auntie M experience.

The Witching Hour Experience
An Autumn Evening Brewed with Storybook Magic
Guests arrive to discover a candlelit tea table layered with vintage china, silver teapots, woodland greenery, antique brass, dark florals, sparkling glassware, and curious little treasures that reward a closer look.
Tea is poured while guests enjoy spiced scones, miniature pies, savory tea sandwiches, chocolate treats, seasonal fruit, and other autumn favorites. Soft music, warm lanterns, drifting leaves, and the glow of the table create a setting that feels intimate, mysterious, and welcoming.
Auntie M cares for the styling and details so you may enjoy the stories, laughter, photographs, and people gathered around your table. Costumes and witchy attire may be encouraged, but the experience remains polished enough for guests who prefer elegant autumn clothing or classic tea-party dress.
Curious Details Throughout the Experience
Witching Hour Treasures to Discover
These details may appear throughout the tablescape, entryway, dessert station, signs, activities, and photo area according to your package and available inventory.

Old keys and keyholes suggest secret cupboards, hidden gardens, and stories yet to be opened.
Woodland Botanicals
Moss, herbs, ferns, seed pods, and trailing greenery soften the darker autumn palette.
Candlelit Glow
Warm candlelight and lanterns create atmosphere without turning the gathering into a haunted house.

Vintage books, handwritten labels, and parchment details bring the apothecary story to life.
Apothecary Bottles
Decorative bottles may hold herbs, florals, fairy lights, or mysterious-looking seasonal ingredients.
Harvest Moon
Moon and star accents appear in thoughtful places, adding magic without overwhelming the table.
Silver Tea Service
Polished silver and vintage teaware keep the moody setting unmistakably elegant and Auntie M.
