What We Do

Manners Matter offers customized etiquette classes for children, teens, and adults ranging from introductions and communications, to fine dining tutorials, and business etiquette workshops. Our lessons are designed for participants of all ages with benefits ranging from learning proper behavior to being more confident in social and professional settings, all while learning civility and showing respect for others.

Thank you so much for an absolutely wonderful and thorough session! You shared so much wonderful information with the girls so pertinent to their 4th-grade lives. I loved your message of confidence, poise, and humility. We all need reminders to keep all 3 at the forefront of our minds.
