Table Manners

Welcome to the world of table setting, where precision meets creativity and culinary magic happens! Setting a perfect table is not just about laying out cutlery and dishes, it's an art form that requires a perfect blend of style, elegance, and practicality. It is an art form that is often times not understood or forgotten about. One of the biggest things I see across the world as a planner is the lack of understanding on how to set a table properly. In this fun, fast-pace and interactive class I will be teaching you how to set the table and how to teach your staff, understanding design concept and color theory, as well as unique and fun ways to create a tablescape that speaks to everyone!
