Our Belief
There was a moment—years ago—that quietly shaped what would become VIP & ME.
An invitation. An experience. A rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity long anticipated.
And then, as life often does, something intervened.
On the day that moment arrived, a different priority took precedence. The opportunity passed. The experience went unclaimed. And what remained was not regret—but awareness.
An understanding that some moments are fleeting. That timing is never guaranteed. And that the experiences we promise ourselves we’ll return to often don’t wait.
That awareness endured.
Years later, it became the foundation of VIP & ME.
Founded by Tammy Emory, VIP & ME exists to help others claim meaningful moments without delay—removing friction, responsibility, and compromise so presence can take its place. Each experience is thoughtfully curated to honor not only the occasion, but the time chosen to gather.
From the beginning, Laura Gomez served as a trusted sounding board—offering perspective, discernment, and a steady second set of eyes as VIP & ME took shape. That collaborative lens continues to influence how each experience is considered and refined.
Today, VIP & ME is led by a carefully curated collective of top-tier chefs, sommeliers, mixologists, culinary creatives, and hospitality professionals—each selected for their craft, composure, and shared commitment to excellence.
Because time is the one luxury we never regain.
And the moments that matter most deserve to be lived fully, intentionally, and without waiting.
Extraordinary dining, curated for life’s meaningful moments.
