Mother’s Day Afternoon High TeaA Garden Party Experience
Event Overview Two prices $45 for High Tea and $65 for Royal Tea (cocktails included)
Celebrate Mother’s Day with an elegant and timeless high tea experience set within the beauty of Uncommon Ranch. Thoughtfully designed to honor connection, beauty, and tradition, this gathering invites you to slow down, savor, and celebrate the women who mean the most.
Detailed Description
Step into a refined garden party where vintage charm meets elevated culinary artistry. Guests will be seated at communal tables, adorned with Michelle and Cindy Palmer’s curated collection of vintage teapots and china – each piece unique, each table a conversation in itself.
This experience draws from the traditions of classic English high tea, reimagined through the lens of Uncommon Ranch. From delicate finger sandwiches to handcrafted pastries and lavender-infused teas, every detail has been designed to delight the senses.
Whether gathering with family, friends or on your own, this is a moment to pause, connect, and celebrate Mother’s Day in a setting that feels both intimate and beautifully elevated. Guests are warmly welcomed to attend on their own – our shared tables are designed to foster connection and conversation.

A Note for Our Guests
Our Afternoon Tea is designed as a shared, seated experience where every guest enjoys the full service, setting, and pace of the gathering. To preserve the comfort of our communal tables and the integrity of our vintage teaware, each guest requires a reserved seat and ticket.
We warmly welcome families and encourage guests of all ages who will enjoy and engage with the experience. While we love having younger guests join us, the setting is best suited for those able to comfortably participate in a seated, multi-course tea service.
Our collection of vintage china and teapots has been thoughtfully gathered over time, and we invite all guests to enjoy and respect these special pieces as part of the experience.
Attire
Come as you feel most comfortable, though garden party attire is highly encouraged.
Fascinators, floral dresses, and smart dressing are warmly welcomed but not required.
