About Us
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Beaumont Etiquette was founded in Kensington, London, just steps away from many historic British Royal Palaces and residences. Brought to New York by Founder Myka Meier, Beaumont Etiquette offers businesses and individuals, both kids and adults, inspiring courses in British, Continental European and American etiquette. Our contemporary approach of exciting and interactive programs was designed to meet the etiquette needs relevant in today’s society.
With offices in both New York and California, Beaumont Etiquette’s trainers educate consumers and companies on the expansive world of dining, social graces and corporate protocol. In keeping with the respected traditions created centuries ago, Beaumont Etiquette adds a modern spin, instructing in an empowering and unstuffy manner to instill confidence and break down cultural barriers. From dining etiquette to social polishing and business protocol to cross-cultural training for large companies, Beaumont Etiquette has a course for every need.
Beaumont Etiquette is the official etiquette partner of The Plaza Hotel, launching The Plaza Finishing Program for adults, teens and children in 2016, with courses running to date. In 2018 Beaumont Etiquette was named the official etiquette partner of Downton Abbey: The Exhibition.
Beaumont Etiquette is thrilled to be named one of the Leading Protocol and Etiquette Schools of the World, and partner with some of the world’s leading companies in etiquette, hospitality and protocol.

Her first experiences with etiquette came at a young age in her own home when she visited with her family. Her naval-trained grandfather was patient and encouraging as she learned the basics of dining etiquette and looked forward to evenings when she could show her family – and servers – what she learned.
Since graduating from New York University with a degree in Business and Drama, and completing her professional etiquette training under Myka Meier, Leanne joined the Beaumont Team in 2018 . She now trains corporate groups and teaches private classes in a range of topic areas, including business protocol, dining etiquette, social graces, children and teen etiquette.

She began molding these two passions together when she not only performed as a Disney Princess for birthday parties in college but was seen in the original production of ‘The Magic Flute the Musical’, an opera turned musical for kids. One of her most recent and favorite moments of her career was performing with the National Tour of PBS’s educational musical, ‘Odd Squad LIVE!’
Jackie believes in the powerful impact etiquette can have on younger generations and is thrilled to bring the magic of theatre to every class.
She can’t wait to give your little one a birthday experience they will never forget!
