Hospitality Knows No Strangers

Here you can find elevated private dining experiences, beverage menu and wine pairing consulting for bars & restaurants, personal sommelier services, and craft cocktail workshops!

Meet Emma, your hospitality expert, craft cocktail enthusiast, and future certified sommelier.

“I have always loved hospitality and bringing people together through good food, a warm atmosphere, and a healthy dose of alcohol. From my experience working in luxury hotels such as the Four Seasons, Langham Hotel, and a series of elevated restaurants, I was taught that no matter the experience, give it your all. When I host an event you can be well-assured that there is not only thought and precision behind every element but more dedication and heart than the average event planner.

Private Events

Whether it’s for a birthday, bridal shower, engagement, or even just that you finally got all of your friends and family in the same room, Wonderfully Curated Consulting is dedicated to making it an experience to remember.

Let me do the work of putting on a beautiful event with the fine dining experience of a 5-star restaurant. Where your only job is to sip on elegantly crafted cocktails, dine on customized gourmet dishes, and enjoy your event with your loved ones.
This is where you go when you want to make your special event extra special.

Cocktail Crafting Workshops

Learn directly from your favorite mixologist and bring an elevated wine selection and specialty cocktails to your restaurant and bar!

In these workshops, hosted by Emma herself, you will learn exactly how to bring a luxury experience to your guests through your wine and beverage list. These lessons are all about menu development for beverages ranging in topics from wines across the world, to home-crafted cocktails.

Emma’s Published Work

Along with her workshops and private dining experiences, Emma advises on hospitality trends, how-to situations, general thoughts on the restaurant/bar world, and also food/hotel reviews through various publications such as the national hospitality publication, The Tasting Panel, and Santa Barbara Life & Style Magazine!
