Hackett House

☕🇺🇸 Sip & See Sunday — Did You Know?

Jacqueline Kennedy knew that the way you set a table could change the entire experience.

As First Lady, she helped transform formal White House entertaining by moving away from traditional long banquet-style arrangements and using round tables to create a warmer, more intimate atmosphere. She also brought a new emphasis on elegant cuisine, beautiful presentation and memorable entertaining. 🫖✨

Sounds like she understood something we believe at Hackett House, too...

Some of the best conversations and memories happen around the table. 💕

Join us as we celebrate Jackie Kennedy and other remarkable First Ladies at our special, one-time:

What do you think these colorful creations are?

Here’s a hint: They once danced across the stage! ✨

These retired ballet pointe shoes have been transformed into one-of-a-kind works of art by dancers from Southwest Youth Ballet. Each shoe reflects a character, costume or special touch of Nutcracker magic.

Guests at the Hackett House Nutcracker Tea will have an opportunity to see these beautiful creations up close while enjoying an afternoon filled with tea, treats, costumed dancers, photos and holiday enchantment.
