About the event

Here's a secret: you don't need a trust fund to live a cultured, stylish life. You just need to know a few tricks — and Whitney Marston Pierce has written the book on it.


Join us for an evening built directly from the pages of Pretend to Be Fancy: a hands-on, workshop-style event that will give you real, usable hosting skills wrapped in a genuinely fun night out. 


Expect a hands-on evening of genuinely useful — and genuinely fun — hosting and entertaining skills drawn straight from the pages of Pretend to Be Fancy. Think cocktails, charcuterie, wine, etiquette, and a little something to take home. No experience required.


Your ticket includes: 

  • Welcome mix-your-own cocktail

  • Food, wine & tasting experience
