Drinks reception at a formal dinner in the Cotswolds

"We booked a dining etiquette session for our mother's birthday as a surprise and while we were excited for it, it was even better than we were expecting. Emma Dupont explained the difference between etiquette and manners, which was very interesting, and at no stage did anyone feel uncomfortable.

 

She helped create a lovely atmosphere and shared some really fascinating points about the origins of etiquette. We all feel a lot more comfortable about eating at fine dining establishments and fancy gatherings now. Would highly recommend for everyone, really!"
