HØSTE means to gather + harvest
A Danish word that comes from the Latin word hospitum, which means both host + guest.
At our core, we are hosts, and the majority of the “work“ a host does, if done well, is invisible. We relish in the invisible details, holistically approaching each event with generosity, curiosity, and love for what we do. In this process, we create space for both our clients and our collaborators to experience the bounty of gathering in the form of connecting humans to one another and themselves.
As Priya Parker, author of The Art of Gathering writes, “Gatherings crackle and flourish when real thought goes into them, when (often invisible) structure is baked into them, and when a host has the curiosity, willingness, and generosity of spirit to try.“

“Our company booked Hoste Productions’ Chocolate 101 class for our team of 35 people at the recommendation of a former colleague. This was my first time coordinating a culinary class for our team, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but Sophia exceeded all of my expectations! She was incredibly responsive, extremely helpful with coordinating logistics, even opting to come by our office for a walk-through. On the day of our event, Sophia’s team was super friendly and organized. Our staff had an amazing experience learning about types of chocolate, tempering chocolate, making truffles, and of course, eating them! Would highly recommend Sophia and Hoste to other companies looking for a fun happy hour activity for their team, and we’ll be booking Hoste again for future events!”
“Sophia is a pleasure to work with not only for her charming ease, but for her big picture creativity and thorough resourcefulness. She is highly connected in the best sense and understands people in a way that leads to exciting and meaningful collaborations. She’s a gem who is a master at turning lemons into lemonade and ensuring all t’s are crossed and i’s are dotted, too.”
“Our chocolate truffle-making class was awesome. It was the perfect way to start our team offsite and get everyone happy and creative! The HØSTE team was perfectly professional and it was a positively tailored, curated experience overall. I will definitely recommend to others and will try to find a reason to do one of the other classes”
