Hosting as an Art Form:
Where Generous Hospitality Meets Transformative Design

Professional planning and intentional experience design for retreats, corporate gatherings, and milestone celebrations in Northeast Ohio and beyond.

Event planning that goes beyond the itinerary and logistics.

Whether you're hosting an executive retreat to realign your team or a private celebration to honor a legacy, we don’t just "plan" your event—we design the experience from the inside out.

At Emily Berg Weddings + Events, we believe that true hospitality is a radical act of generosity.

We believe the best events are those where the host is just as present as the guests. We handle the logistical burden so you can embody the spirit of welcome. From the first touchpoint to the final farewell, we ensure your guests feel deeply cared for through thoughtful touches and seamless service.


We look past the aesthetic and practical to your attendees' emotional journey. By utilizing "outside-the-lines" thinking, we create environments that shift perspectives. Using a proprietary experience design process, we turn a standard gatherings into transformative milestones.

Hi, friends. I’m Emily.

The modern retreat requires a delicate balance of structure and soul. We specialize in planning multi-day experiences that prioritize restoration and results. From venue scouting for hidden gems to curated programming that prevents "itinerary fatigue," we manage the complexity of retreats so your mission remains the focal point.

We’re down either way. 

Some people come to us with a general idea of a vibe they want. Others bring a very specific plan they want us to pull off. 

Since 2017, I’ve planned and designed celebrations and events for fabulous humans, cool nonprofits, and innovative brands here in Northeast Ohio and beyond.

Doing this not only makes our clients' event dreams come true, but also helps make other small businesses' dreams come true, too. Over the last 8+ years, we’ve been fortunate enough to channel lots of event-planning dollars into deserving, locally-owned small businesses. 

We are beyond grateful for all that we have and for every client we serve. One way we give back is via monetary donations. 5% of every contract is donated to a
pre-approved non-profit of that client's choice.
