meet our founder
Hi, I’m Emily — and I’ve always believed that the most memorable moments happen around a table. Not just because of what’s on the menu, but because of who’s there, how it feels, and the little sparks of connection that happen when we gather.
Matchbook Supper Club was born out of a deep love for hosting — and a longing to bring back the art of intentional entertaining. After running restaurants for over a decade, I began dreaming of something more immersive… something more intimate. A place where we could come together to share meals, learn new skills, and feel creatively inspired.
Matchbook is my love letter to hosting. It’s a celebration of scent and sound, texture and taste. It’s a place for anyone who’s ever lit a candle for a weeknight dinner, color-coded their cocktail napkins, or just wanted to feel more confident inviting people in.
My background is in hospitality, and I've always been drawn to creating beauty with meaning — whether that's a perfectly plated dish, a wildly garnished cocktail, or a table that tells a story.
When I’m not dreaming up the next supper theme, you can find me hunting for vintage glassware, sharing popcorn with my cat Ophelia, or perfecting my shucking skills.
If Matchbook speaks to something in your soul, you’re in the right place.
Let’s make something beautiful together.
