Private Gatherings by Maya Emelle

Our Services

Intimate, invitation-only experiences designed for genuine human connection.

Curated Experiences

For people who feel the limits of transactional gatherings — founders, investors, board members, executives, global citizens, and those who yearn for what matters most: presence, curiosity, and genuine connection.

Seamless Hosting

We handle the logistics so you can arrive fully present and actually enjoy every moment of your party.

The Gatherings We Offer

Tailored Experiences That Feel Like Home

Signature Dinner Party
(Our Signature Evening Experience)

For those seeking a deeper, more guided rhythm of connection. Intimate dinner (12–18 guests) with rotating seating, sensory flow, and conversation prompts tailored to your intention. Every detail — from invitations to dessert reflections — is crafted to shape presence and belonging.

Day Gatherings

(A More Casual, Intentional Setting)

Designed for sunlit conversation and seasonal fare, these intimate daytime experiences (8–14 guests) strike the perfect balance between ease and engagement. Thoughtful menus, curated libations, and ambient moments create a warm backdrop for authentic connection.

My Clients Want

Simplicity

Depth over networking, intimacy over performance

Meaningful conversation without artifice

Environments that feel safe, unhurried, and intentional

About Maya Emelle

I’ve had the privilege of leading executive boardrooms, working with corporate leaders at WeWork, Facebook, and HBO, and collaborating with first-time directors as a three-time award-winning producer. Across every room, the expectation is the same: we perform.

I understand what it takes to hold that responsibility — and how rare it is to find spaces where the human beings behind the titles can set it down.

My work is about creating those spaces.
Places where people can let their guard down around good food, vibey music, and shared storytelling. Where connection feels natural, not forced.

I see myself as a healer in this way — crafting experiences that offer relief from everyday chaos, one private gathering at a time.

Private Gatherings is my response to social depletion.
