Meet Your Host
Emily is a Yorkshire-born storyteller, experience designer, and lifelong connector. She is the founder of Dine Wilder and co-founder of Graze Wilder, ventures united by her love of beauty, community, and bringing people together.
What drives her isn’t just setting beautiful tablescapes, but the feeling behind it - creating experiences that spark something real and lasting.
For Emily - it’s about the moments, the stories, and the connections that turn a gathering into something unforgettable. Her favourite book is of course, Unreasonable Hospitality.
—“We’re so quick to look outside ourselves for energy and change, but I want to curate the spaces where women have time to look within - and find what’s already there.”
