10/10 would recommend! Great experience working with Erica and the EMRG Media team to ensure we had a seamless holiday party for about 900 people. Erica was available to help with every step along the way and help bring to our attention additional ideas, needs and considerations to help make our party a huge success! Her team went above and beyond on the day of to ensure all of the final touches were handled and it allowed for our internal planning team to be able to sit back and enjoy the party. Great at communicating and sourcing vendors at a great rate due to their connections within the industry. Looking forward to working with EMRG Media again in the future!

Our theme, “A Night of Iconic New York,” celebrated the city’s landmarks, symbols, food, culture, and sounds, and the EMRG Media team transformed Terminal 5 into a stunning representation of the Big Apple. Each floor transported attendees to a different iconic neighborhood, from Little Italy and Chinatown to Times Square and Bryant Park. Employees were fully immersed in the experience, feeling as though they were traveling through the city’s vibrant boroughs.

Incredible experience working with Erica and EMRG Media. She coordinated for us a 200 person event with less than two weeks’ time, and was able to accommodate everything we needed. The entire event went smoothly, and was better than we could have ever imagined.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who traditionally hosts and pays for an engagement party?
Traditionally, an engagement party may be hosted by one side of the family, but today there are no strict rules. Parents, the couple, close friends, or multiple family members may host together. The most important thing is establishing who is organizing the event, who is managing the guest list, and what kind of celebration the couple wants.
How soon after the proposal should an engagement party be held?
Most engagement parties land 1 to 4 months after the proposal and at least 6 months before the wedding, so the two events do not crowd each other. If the engagement is under a year, hold the party within the first 2 months, because wedding planning takes over after that and guests start feeling asked to attend too many things.
Who should be invited to an engagement party?
Engagement parties usually include close family members, friends, and other important people in the couple’s lives. The guest list can be intimate or more expansive depending on the type of event. As a general etiquette consideration, couples should think carefully about how the engagement party guest list relates to the eventual wedding guest list to avoid confusion or uncomfortable expectations.
What engagement party formats work best in NYC?
Rooftop cocktail parties, restaurant buyouts, seated dinners, loft receptions, and formal parties all work brilliantly for engagement party formats. EMRG Media matches the format to the guest count, the season, and how formal the wedding itself will be.
Can you plan a surprise engagement party or a proposal?
Yes. EMRG Media can plan surprise engagement parties and proposal experiences, coordinating the venue, guest arrivals, timing, photography, florals, décor, and other details. Careful planning helps protect the surprise while making sure the proposal or reveal unfolds smoothly and is captured properly.
Do you handle photography and florals for engagement parties?
Yes. EMRG Media can coordinate photography, florals, catering, bar service, entertainment, audiovisual needs, décor, and other event vendors. A dedicated producer manages the moving pieces so the couple and their families have one central point of contact throughout the planning process.
How far ahead should an engagement party be booked?
It is best to begin planning as early as possible, particularly for larger celebrations, popular venues, restaurant buyouts, or high-demand dates. Smaller gatherings may require less lead time, but early planning provides more options for venues, vendors, and creative details while making the overall process easier to manage.
