My daughter attended the VPS Etiquette Program for the second time with her dance friends and absolutely loved it! Mrs. Ashley is professional, kind, and has an incredible way of connecting with youth. The amount of information the group retained in such a short time was impressive—it even taught me a few things I didn’t know! Keep up the amazing work, Mrs. Ashley! If you haven’t signed your child up for this wonderful program, consider this your sign to do so. You won’t regret it!

My daughter attended her first etiquette class today with Ms. Fox, and it was an amazing experience. The class was beautifully organized, and Ms. Fox created such a welcoming environment for all the girls. My daughter learned so much and left feeling confident and excited. I highly recommend the VPS Etiquette Program to anyone looking for a wonderful and enriching experience for their child!

Ashley is a phenomenal coach. She connects on a personal level and puts in great effort to support you in exactly what you need. Our scheduled two-hour 1:1 session even turned into three hours. Ashley was patient throughout and walked me through various scenarios and techniques to navigate them with proper etiquette. She’s incredibly endearing and truly a great coach. I’d love to have more sessions with her.

I recently had the opportunity to learn some proper etiquette through the VPS Etiquette Program run by my dear friend Ashley Fox. She is very passionate about teaching our younger generations about proper etiquette. It was a very unique experience where you get to formally dress up and learn how to properly behave during a social setting. In this case, how to enter a room and sit properly at the table, and how to use all the items on the dinner table correctly. I really enjoyed this class and I love the idea of teaching etiquette to the younger generations to help them learn how to be polite and respectful in all social settings. Highly recommend!

Ashley was amazing! She really knew how to work the crowd and make everyone feel welcome and involved. Definitely would recommend for small and large gathering sizes as she will even move around the room to make sure everyone has a clear visual.

The Etiquette Gala I attended Friday evening was a great experience. I learned a lot about fine dining and networked with the other guests in attendance. Also, the food there was delicious!

The Tea Party & Perfume Etiquette Class with Ms. Ashley was a true delight. The delicious tea and accompaniments were elegantly presented with love and care as Ms. Ashley talked us through the lost art of etiquette. I absolutely loved “slowing down” to enjoy each bite as we gleaned and were taught. A lovely day and way to celebrate with my friend for her birthday.

Ashley is so skilled and passionate about what she does! The way she teaches etiquette is kind, engaging, and completely nonjudgmental. In addition to the helpful lessons, she includes an entire afternoon tea! Everything was delicious and it was fun to practice in real time. Highly recommended for adults or kids who want to learn to be more confident and polished at the table.
