PRIVATE MAHJONG SESSIONS


CURATED GATHERINGS. LIMITED AVAILBILITY.

Hinsdale Mahjong Society offers a small number of private mahjong experiences each season for groups seeking something thoughtful, social, and beautifully organized.

Private bookings are not our primary focus — our public sessions and leagues remain the heart of HMS — but for the right gathering, we’re happy to create something special.


For Friend Groups & Social Circles

Looking for something elevated and different for your group?

HMS can design a private mahjong experience that blends structured instruction, guided play, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Perfect for:

  • Friend groups

  • Neighborhood gatherings

  • Social clubs

  • Birthday celebrations

  • Seasonal get-togethers

We provide the materials, instruction, and structure — so your group can focus on enjoying the game and each other.

For Retreats & Curated Experiences

Mahjong is uniquely suited for retreats and intentional gatherings.

It encourages strategy, conversation, and connection — without screens or distractions.

HMS is available for select retreat collaborations, offering:

  • Beginner-friendly instruction

  • Supported play sessions

  • Structured social tournaments

  • Custom formats based on your group’s goals

Whether you’re planning a women’s retreat, leadership weekend, or curated social experience, we can integrate mahjong in a way that feels natural, engaging, and memorable.

What Makes an HMS Private Event Different

We don’t simply “show up and deal tiles.”

We create an environment where:
Beginners feel supported
Materials are available at every table
Structure keeps the experience flowing
Friendly competition feels energizing — never intimidating

Private events are hosted with the same intentionality as our public sessions.

Availability & Inquiries

Private bookings are limited and offered on a case-by-case basis.

If you’re interested in hosting a private mahjong class or curated event in Hinsdale or the Chicago western suburbs, please reach out.
