The Six Stars of Homespitality™ Luminary each embody an essential quality of exceptional hosting: Knowledge, Skill, Kindness, Dedication, Consistency, and Creativity. Together, they elevate the art of hospitality from mere service to a rare and memorable experience of homespitality™..
No, you do not need an arsenal of advanced diningware, specialized service utensils, or a lavish formal dining room to become a luminary in homespitality™.
True hospitality shines through genuine warmth, thoughtful attention to detail, and the ability to make people feel genuinely welcome and cared for — not through expensive china or perfectly curated table settings. Some of the most memorable and admired hosts create magic with simple, everyday items when paired with heart, creativity, and intention.
What truly elevates someone to “homespitality™ luminary” status is the experience they create for their guests, not the inventory in their cabinets.
The Homespitality Luminary online course is available for $99 and can be purchased directly through our online store.
The price includes access to more than 20 comprehensive modules, each ranging from 15 to 30 minutes in length. These modules are drawn from the same professional training program used to prepare candidates for the Certified Dining Room Professional (CDP) certification exam. Unlike the full CDP certification, however, this course has no prior experience requirement.
The final examination consists of 100 questions, and a passing score of 75% is required. You may retake the exam as many times as needed at no additional cost.
There are two wonderful ways to gain direct, hands-on experience with us:
Come to us on beautiful Amelia Island, Florida (nearest airport: Jacksonville). You’ll have the opportunity to see, touch, and personally experience everything showcased on this site. If you enroll in our signature three-day immersion retreat, you’ll learn to set up and host a truly magical evening from start to finish.
Investment in Your Hosting Mastery
For this comprehensive service, pricing is tailored to your individual aspirations and begins at $1,497 per day.

An intensive, focused introduction to the essential tools, refined etiquette, and proven protocols for hosting with confidence and grace. You will select your preferred focus from our signature categories: multi-course fine dining, themed events, or meaningful life celebrations.
$2,500
Ideal for the discerning host seeking greater depth. This option allows you to explore a single aspect in detail — such as the art of seamless service and table dressing, or culinary vision and menu strategy — or to master multiple approaches, including elegant multi-course fine dining alongside sophisticated large-scale events.
Typically ranging from $3,000 to $7,000
For those desiring a fully personalized program, we craft a custom journey aligned with your unique vision, venue, and hosting goals.
We invite you to schedule a private consultation so we may better understand your objectives and provide a precise proposal.
Have us come to you. We will visit your home and provide personalized recommendations tailored to your kitchen, dining room, style, and level of commitment. The advantage is highly customized guidance for your specific space. The only limitation is that a portion of the training will be more theoretical, supported by demonstrations and samples.
For the best of both worlds, we recommend attending the three-day immersion retreat on Amelia Island first, then welcoming us to your home afterward. This combination allows you to build a strong foundation and then fine-tune your setup, equipment, and hosting style to perfectly suit your home and lifestyle.

Our Hospitality Improvement Process
We follow a structured three-phase approach designed to elevate your restaurant or private club’s hospitality standards with precision and care.
Phase One — Discovery & Experience (3 days)
The process begins with a Mystery Diner visit the evening before our formal engagement. This is followed by a comprehensive two-day assessment of every element that shapes the guest experience. On the final day, we meet with key decision-makers and leadership to understand your vision and objectives, then evaluate their feasibility within your operational reality.
Phase Two — Sharing & Implementation (3 days)
This phase also opens with a dining experience the evening prior. Over the following three days, we work closely with management — both during and outside service hours — to identify opportunities and implement targeted improvements. A designated member of your team is asked to accompany us and document all recommendations and observations.
Phase Three — Refinement & Mastery (3 to 5 days)
The final visit is tailored to your specific needs. It may focus on fine-tuning details and resolving execution challenges, or take the form of an intensive staff bootcamp to instill lasting habits, standards, and principles.
The interval between visits typically ranges from two weeks to two months, allowing time for meaningful implementation.
