Hi, I’m Barbara Leone



I'm the founder of Mantel and Table Academy, a teacher, lifestyle blogger, lifetime home entertainer, and 30+ year corporate event planner. 

I started Mantel and Table Academy to share the art of wonderful gatherings, and because I'm passionate about helping people become the fun, relaxed, and confident hosts they want to be!

There's no greater joy than knowing we made someone happy!







"Barbara! I remember, with deep fondness, all the wonderful parties at your beautiful house!! It’s SO GREAT that you’re sharing your expertise and artistry with us, now!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!"
