It is a daunting task to manage, supervise, and train domestic staff, and that’s where etiquette expert is useful. On a regular basis I offer my consulting services to my New York clients so that they can enjoy their special occasion. And let’s face it, if you could hire someone to take care of this business, your life would be so much easier!
Elegant living calls for great taste and knowledge of dining etiquette, tableware, wine expertise, and food service. For the novice host without this constellation of experience, it could be a living hell…
Often, the young and even the wealthy do not know how a proper table should be set – important consideration of experience such as where to place bread-and-butter plate, how to serve wine, and what size napkin is right for a dining occasion.
As a host, you have enough to worry about — your guest list, menu, table setting, flatware, stemware, and greeting your guests at the door.
Now, more than ever, rich and famous hire etiquette consultants to help them with domestic-staff training, home entertaining, and social etiquette. The devil is indeed in the details, and the choice of proper dining utensils, appropriate glassware, and flawless food service during your party – that’s what really counts!
So, if you are looking to stage some memorable soirées or formal dinner parties at your home, consult an etiquette expert, who will guide you and glide you through your home-entertaining adventure!
And don’t forget: it’s not about hors d’oeuvres– it’s about “savoir-vivre!”
