Host a Long Table Dinner in Your Space

Have a space with charm? Let’s create something unforgettable.

Our Women’s Long Table Dinners are intimate, roaming gatherings designed to bring women together for deep conversation, connection, and nourishment. The beauty of being a pop-up is—we can host them anywhere.

From cozy bookstores to dreamy backyards, lush garden nurseries to salons and creative studios—if your space has a ton of heart, we want to bring the table to it.

Why Host a Dinner?

When you offer your space, you're not just providing a venue—you’re inviting something special to take place within your walls. And in return, we shine a light on everything that makes your place so unique.

As a host, you’ll:

  • Welcome a group of warm, conscious women into your space—many of whom may never have stepped foot inside otherwise

  • Watch your space be transformed into an unforgettable, candlelit retreat

  • Have the whole town talking—for weeks beforehand and long after the table’s been cleared

  • Receive over 200 professionally captured photographs of the night to use in promoting your space or future events

  • Experience the joy of collaboration without the stress—we take care of everything

Effortless for You, Magical for Everyone

If you're already a food or drink space, even better! Let’s talk about how we can highlight your menu or craft a signature moment around your offering. This is about true collaboration—we make the rules as we go.

No liquor license? No worries. We arrive armed with all the necessary permits, insurance, and a trained team of servers to bring the night to life. When the evening ends, we pack down quietly, respectfully, and return your space to exactly how we found it. You won’t even know we were there—except for the warm, lingering glow we leave behind.

The Types of Spaces We Love

We’re always seeking out interesting, beautiful, and slightly unexpected venues that can host anywhere from 12–60 seated guests. Think:

  • Backyards, barns & balconies

  • Studios & creative workspaces

  • Bookstores, shops & salons

  • Garden nurseries, sheds, galleries

  • Cafes, bars, rooftops & tucked-away gems

  • Places with a view? Yes please. The more obscure the better.

Indoor, outdoor, or somewhere in between—we’ll make it magical.

  • “Hosting our first Dine Wilder Dine with Joy event at Cedar Rock Wellness was an absolute pleasure, and much of that joy comes down to Emily and the incredible Dine Wilder experience she curates. Emily brings a rare blend of creativity, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail that transforms a simple dinner into a heartfelt journey. Her ability to weave together flavors, stories, and curated speakers creates an atmosphere of connection through food that is truly remarkable. Our guests not only enjoyed a beautiful meal — they felt something truly special. The thoughtfully curated atmosphere, distinguished guest list, and the exceptional photography of Gabriela Le come together to create an elevated experience that feels truly magical. Working with Emily was seamless; she understands the essence of community, collaboration, and celebration. For anyone looking to elevate their events and foster genuine connection through food and conversation, Dine Wilder and Emily Shimwell is a gift. Thank you, Emily, for helping us create a night of joy that lingered long after the last dish was cleared.”

  • “My business hosted a Dine Wilder event this month and we had such a good experience! Emily is so generous, flexible and easy to work with. She ensured the event would disrupt as little as possible, while also making sure to promote our shop, encourage attendees to spend and make the experience worthwhile for us as a business. Would definitely host another! The vibes were 10/10 and we got some amazing content out of it. Not to mention participating in the dinner itself was such a treat. Thanks Dine Wilder!”
