MEET CAROLINA
Ā
Carolina Safi is a Brazilian-born table stylist and etiquette consultant who has been living in Canada for 20 years. She is the founder of Hosting Table, a platform dedicated to elevating the table as a space of connection, intention, and lasting relationships.
With a belief that the table is one of the most influential settings in both personal and professional life, Carolina approaches table styling and etiquette as quiet yet powerful tools. It is at the table that values are transmitted, children learn by observation, conversations unfold, and bonds are strengthened. Thoughtful attention to the table is not about accumulation or perfection, but about discernment, presence, and care.
HER BACKGROUND
Ā
Carolina holds a Bachelorā€™s degree in Business and spent most of her professional career in the fashion industry, where she developed a refined eye for aesthetics, proportion, and detail. She later deepened her work around hosting and human interaction and is a graduate of the Instituto de Etiqueta e Protocolo do Brasil (IEP), as well as a graduate of The English Manner and Beaumont Etiquetteā€™s Train the Trainer Grade One with merit. This background allows her to unite structure, elegance, and confidence with a modern, thoughtful approach to table styling and etiquette.
Through private consultations, workshops, and educational experiences, Carolina helps clients create tables that feel elegant yet effortless, personal yet intentional. Her approach invites people to host with confidence, to use what they already own wisely, and to cultivate moments that feel both welcoming and memorable.
For Carolina, the table is the first place where relationships are built. Elevating it means elevating the way we connect.
