Tammy Kirkiewicz
Owner at Settings STL and Nadine and Mina
Tammy Kirkiewicz is the owner of Settings STL, a unique event space located in St. Louis, which also offers etiquette classes. Settings STL is housed in a Victorian storefront that dates back to 1890, originally serving as a butcher shop. Kirkiewicz envisioned the space as a showroom for her vintage rental business, Nadine & Mina, which specializes in vintage china and flatware for events. However, the venue has evolved to host small dinner parties and etiquette classes, reflecting her expertise in social etiquette.1
Kirkiewicz's etiquette classes cover various topics, including social interactions, dining etiquette, hosting responsibilities, and being a good guest. She emphasizes the importance of comfort in etiquette, aiming to ensure that both hosts and guests feel at ease during events. Participants in her classes receive a plate, glass, and flatware set from her vintage collection, allowing them to celebrate future occasions with a touch of elegance.12
In addition to her work at Settings STL, Kirkiewicz is active in her community, volunteering with organizations that provide home furnishings to families in need.3 She studied at Central Missouri State University and has built a professional network with over 500 connections on LinkedIn.2
