National Wife Appreciation Day Tea Party at Lola’s Garden
Philly couples searching for the perfect way to celebrate National Wife Appreciation Day need look no further than Lola’s Garden in Ardmore. On Sunday, September 21, from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., the beloved Main Line restaurant will host an Afternoon Tea Party, inviting guests to indulge in a thoughtfully curated experience filled with vintage charm, culinary craftsmanship, and heartfelt appreciation.
National Wife Appreciation Day, observed on the third Sunday in September, is a moment to pause and honor the women who anchor our lives with strength, support, and love. Lola’s Garden, known for hosting more than 400 private events annually, is stepping into the spotlight once again—this time with a public celebration designed to help you show your appreciation with both style and flavor.
The tea party, hosted at 51 St. Georges Road in Suburban Square, doubles as a public launch of Lola’s new private event tea party package. For $50 per person, treat your wife to unlimited Tea Forte and Harney & Sons teas served in elegant vintage teapots and cups. While mimosas and cocktails are available à la carte, the centerpiece is the family-style tea menu crafted by Executive Chef Andrew Kedziora, brimming with flavor and finesse.
Celebrate National Wife Appreciation Day with Taste and Elegance
On National Wife Appreciation Day, Lola’s Garden goes beyond the usual bouquet and dinner. The three-course tea party is an affectionate gesture and a luxurious afternoon out. Chef Kedziora’s menu includes an array of tea sandwiches like cucumber with whipped cream cheese, smoked salmon, ham and cheddar, Amish chicken salad, and heirloom tomato with pesto mozzarella—classic staples elevated with modern precision.

The sweet-tooth selections read like a dream dessert spread: Meyer lemon cake, cheddar scones with strawberry jam, twice-baked mini almond croissants, chocolate chip cookies, salted caramel mochi, and biscotti. On the savory side, olive tapenade crostini, crispy potato bites, caprese skewers, and adorable mini-French fry cups round out a spread that’s both refined and comforting.
For those planning a celebration beyond National Wife Appreciation Day, this event serves as a preview of Lola’s new customizable private tea party package—$45 per person for a choice of six menu items, with additional selections available for $7 each. It’s the perfect setup for baby showers, bridal teas, birthdays, or “just because” moments.
Large reservations are welcome for Sunday’s event, making this not just a date-worthy occasion but also an ideal outing for friend groups and extended families looking to celebrate the incredible women in their lives.
