Tarot Readings for Birthdays, Bachelorettes & Groups in NYC

Birthdays · bachelorettes · friends’ nights out · Union Square NYC

Looking for a different kind of birthday plan or a fun stop on a bachelorette weekend? Bring your group to Namaste Bookshop for tarot readings for friends and parties in NYC. Each person gets a private reading with one of our readers by Union Square, and everyone else can browse crystals, decks and books while they wait.

How to plan a group tarot outing

  1. Pick a day with several readers in. The reader calendar shows reader shifts. Fridays and Saturdays, when the shop is open until 9 PM, suit evening plans.
  2. Have each guest book their own reading. On Book a Reading, each person taps Book on a reader and chooses a time on Square. Two or three people can see different readers at the same time, or line up back to back with one favourite.
  3. Keep it to 15 minutes each for a group of four or more, so nobody waits too long. Anyone who wants more can book 30 minutes.
  4. Call ahead for bigger groups. If you’re bringing more than a handful of people, call 212-645-0141 so the shop knows you’re coming.
  5. Make a day of it. Browse the shop, then head to Union Square, the Greenmarket (open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday) or dinner nearby.

What it costs

There’s no group package to buy. Each guest pays for their own reading at the reader’s listed rate:

Per person Typical price
15 minutes $35–$40
30 minutes $70–$80
45–60 minutes $100–$140

Each reader sets their own rates; Square shows the exact price and cancellation terms before you confirm.

Ideas for the group

  • Birthday readings: ask what the year ahead holds, or pair tarot with astrology. Priya, Alexander D. Santiago and Casey Deamoira combine the two.
  • Bachelorette or engagement: the bride-to-be might like a longer reading with a reader who focuses on love. See love & relationship readings.
  • Something different for each guest: mix tarot, Lenormand, oracle cards and mediumship so everyone compares notes afterward. Meet the readers to see each style.
  • Friends who can’t make it: select readers offer readings by phone.

Planning an event somewhere else?

Namaste doesn’t publish an off-site party package, but some readers work at events. Anthony Fusco’s profile, for example, notes event bookings for Barnes & Noble, Kenneth Cole and Saks. Email info@namastebookshop.com with your date, start and end time, venue or neighbourhood, approximate guest count and the type of celebration, and the shop will let you know whether a reader is available.

Questions

Can a group of friends get readings at the same time?

Yes, when enough readers are working. Check the reader calendar for a day with several readers in, then have each person book their own slot on Square, either with different readers at the same time or back to back.

How much does a group tarot outing cost?

Each person pays for their own reading at that reader’s rate, typically $35–$40 for 15 minutes or $70–$80 for 30 minutes. There’s no separate group fee listed.

How long should each guest book?

Fifteen minutes each keeps a group moving and gives everyone a real question answered. Guests who want more can book 30 minutes.

Do you send readers to parties outside the shop?

Namaste doesn’t publish an off-site party package. Email info@namastebookshop.com with the date, time, location, guest count and how many hours you have in mind, and the shop will let you know whether a reader is available.

Can I book for someone else as a gift?

You can book a session in your name on Square and bring them along, or have them book their own time. Namaste does not currently sell reading gift cards online.
