    Great Podcast for Both Seasoned & Newbie Hostesses!
    Kristie is the perfect podcast hostess to teach us all about how to be a perfect hostess! 😀 I'm really enjoying binging on all the past episodes and look forward to the new ones! I'm already a pretty confident hostess, but Kristie and her Happy Hostess Podcast never fails to inspire me with new ideas or new ways to approach hosting!

    Great In Theory
    Love the idea of the show, but lots of the episodes feel rushed and offer obvious ideas/suggestions. Is it just to say that you have a higher number of episodes? The shows that are best and most interesting are the ones with expert guests who do the majority of speaking. The host seems nice, and also seems to have a great love for entertaining and family, but can be painful to listen to as she often stumbles or pauses on her words.

    Inspiring to host more
    So happy I found this podcast! I have been listening every chance I get. It really has inspired me to host more in my home. I think it is important for my teens to see more social interactions…bless them this generation needs all the help socially we can offer them. Also, their Mother loves anything with a fun theme.

    Amazing podcast for hosting!
    I wish I could give this podcast 10 stars!! I highly recommend the Happy Hostess Podcast, hosted by the wonderful Kristie LaLonde. Kristie provides incredible help and advice to people who are interested in hosting, but are looking for additional inspiration. Kristie’s advice is relevant to a broad spectrum of listeners, those who are new or infrequent hosts with some fears to overcome, and those who are experienced hosts interested in raising their game. Kristie is an articulate, eloquent host who speaks with candor, warmth and wisdom as she provides her structured and helpful advice. I reached out to Kristie to ask for some advice and I was thrilled that she created a podcast episode in response! She also provided me with wonderful suggestions in our Instagram message exchange. I know others will love listening to this wonderful podcast!

    Double Tuesday Joy
    What a wonderful surprise this morning to hear my favorite podcast hostess interview a dear friend! I look forward to listening to Kriste every Tuesday because she always adds a nugget of wisdom to entertaining. This Tuesday was a bonus because Dwayne joined her and shared his secret to effortless decorating and entertaining. My house would not be a place of comfort if it wasn’t for Dwayne and “the boys” at House!
  • @malessiahp
    Great hosting advice!!
    Kristie LaLonde offers practical hostess ideas as well as recipes, decor ideas, tablescape plans, AND she interviews some of the best and most creative hosts and hostesses in the entertaining field! I love listening to this podcast. I also love following her on Instagram. I had the pleasure of meeting Kristie through Lydia Menzies’ Supper Club and she is as gracious, kind, creative, and inclusive as can be. She makes everyone feel welcome and included. She also makes entertaining accessible to the average human! Which as a busy mom, I really appreciate. I look forward to listening to every episode. ❤️ Malessia Howland

    Kristie’s Hostess Podcast
    I met Kristie for the first time in person last year. She is incredibly gracious and truly someone you would want to follow in holiday and hostessing sphere! In the past, my little team have worked with her with various paper needs holiday and party events but never met her in person until last year! She is meticulous in how she plans all her special occasions and I am so excited to listen to more of her episodes. She does everything well and also doesn’t forget to have fun! So I am excited to follow.
