‘05 Where it all began
Feriatus did not grow from a business plan. It grew from a feeling, a genuine love for beauty, for people and for the art of making a moment feel just right. What began as a passion evolved into something greater over the years, shaped by a deep understanding of hospitality and etiquette, a refined sense of aesthetics, and a sincere commitment to the unique story behind every celebration.
Fēriātus (feminine fēriāta, neuter fēriātum); first/second-declension participle
Feriatus takes its name from the Latin word for a day of rest. An invitation to pause, connect, and celebrate life's most meaningful moments.
Meet Nadine Winten
Feriatus began with Nadine’s belief that every detail tells a story. With over 20 years of experience, she transforms ideas into thoughtfully crafted celebrations, guided by intuition, creativity and an exceptional eye for detail. From the first concept to the final finishing touch, every element is carefully considered to create experiences that feel effortless, personal and timeless.
‘07 The story in print
In 2007, Nadine published her first book, De Perfecte Tafel, showcasing over thirty table settings designed and styled for occasions ranging from weddings to festive gatherings. Built around colour as the guiding inspiration, the book reflects Nadine's lifelong devotion to the details of etiquette and the art of celebration, and remains a reference for those drawn to the craft of a beautifully set table.
‘22 Etiquality takes shape
In 2022, Feriatus opened the doors of Etiquality, its own etiquette school. Born from the conviction that good manners are not a list of rules but a living art, Etiquality offers interactive masterclasses on hospitality, business etiquette and personal image, tailored to companies, teams and private groups. Twice a year, Etiquality also opens its doors to the public for an evening dedicated to the pleasure of learning etiquette in good company.
