Emma is the founder and creative force behind Taleology, a specialty shop offering handcrafted personalized and custom pet parent goodies. Taleology is an all in-house, one-woman production run by Emma herself, under the watchful eyes of her furry supervisors.


Emma's distinctive designs stem from her unique art style of ink and paper drawings. Her whimsical illustrations capture the personalities and endearing quirks of our beloved animal companions. Through Taleology, Emma is committed to partnering with animal rescue and welfare groups. A portion of every purchase is donated to local animal shelters in New York City.


Taleology was founded in 2023 and is a proud partner of the Made in NYC initiative, which celebrates locally-made products. Emma's passion for her craft is deeply rooted in her family's artistic legacy. Her father was a talented fine artist, and his passing in 2010 inspired Emma to honor his memory by creating her own art and establishing Taleology.


For Emma, pets are more than just animals; they are cherished members of our families who bring us immense joy and companionship. Through her delightful creations at Taleology, she aims to celebrate the unique bond between pets and their owners while giving back to animal welfare causes close to her heart.

Booking with Spaciously

Book an activity with a few clicks

To book, follow the secure checkout process on the website. This will reserve your host's time.

If you need extra help with anything, just leave us a note in the "Comments" field! We're happy to help with food and venue recommendations.

After you check out, you will receive a confirmation email and a receipt. Very shortly after that, our team will reach out to connect you with your host and help with the logistics and questions!

Expect no extra fees or charges

All prices are upfront. There are no extra charges beyond what you pay when you book. In 99% of cases, hosts won't ask for tips because they're already included in the price.

All activities are private

All activities you see on Spaciously are private. You will get a dedicated instructor. You will also get either an entire venue or a section of a venue to yourselves.

All activities are available

If our calendar allows you to pick a date and time, your activity is available! In the rare scenario that your host has an emergency and can't make the date, it's our responsibility to find you a substitute host or a substitute activity quickly. If you don't like the options, we'll send you a full refund.

Ask us a question

We are here to make sure your team gets the event they will enjoy. Helping you find the best activity for your team is the best part of our job. Send us a chat message, a text (415 798-0382) or an email (hello@spaciously.io). If you contact us in the morning or early afternoon, we'll respond in a few minutes.

Trust Spaciously hosts

We work only with highly reliable hosts. Every single one of our hosts is a small business owner. We either saw them in action, received a recommendation from another client or had a personal call to go over their proposed activity. Small business owners spend years mastering their skills. They put great care into planning your experience.

Organize a team-building activity at your office

People love when they don't have to go out of their way for team-building. Invite the activity host to travel to your venue by selecting the option "My venue/office."

Some building management companies don't allow certain activities, e.g. cooking if you don't have a kitchen. Make sure you check this before you book.

Most buildings require a certificate of insurance. A one-off certificate of insurance costs ~$150 online, but 99% of the time, our hosts can provide one for free. There may be some back-and-forth with your building management to agree on the coverage, but we are happy to collaborate with you on this.

Cancel or change your reservation

Refer to the cancelation policy on each listing when you book to see how much time you have to cancel your reservation. To cancel, answer the email thread we will start with you or contact hello@spaciously.io.

Regardless of the cancelation policy, hosts usually allow you to move the time of your booking a bit or to add a few more people. We are very collaborative when it comes to small event adjustments. Ultimately, we all want your event to be successful because we want to be your partners for a long time!

Reviews of Spaciously

I had a concierge service except the price wasn’t a secret. I knew exactly what I was getting. And the communication was right there with it.

Spaciously was great to work with and flexible in the planning process. The event was fun, informative, and easily adapted to our needs and setup. I highly recommend working with this company.

We booked a tea ceremony with Spaciously. Our guests had a one-of-a-kind experience, and our staff felt supported and at ease.
