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!

We’ve worked directly with EMRG Media for the last two years for our Annual Volunteer Recognition Ceremony. From start to finish the EMRG team is patient, flexible and gives top tier service ensuring that our event was a success and created a welcoming environment for our community. The Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City team is looking forward to hosting many more events with EMRG Media.

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.

Thank you to the  EMRG team for your creativity, attention to detail, flexibility, and seamless execution. You took the time to truly understand the vision and made the 2-day NYC event unforgettable with your magical touches throughout. I would not hesitate to partner with EMRG again for future events.

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

The religious significance and core planning needs are similar, but every celebration should reflect the individual being honored. EMRG Media involves the bat mitzvah girl in decisions about the design, entertainment, music, food, and overall atmosphere. The planning process is built around her personality, interests, and vision for how she wants the celebration to feel.

A candle-lighting ceremony is a meaningful tradition that recognizes important family members, friends, and loved ones. Each honoree or group is introduced and invited to participate while a special message, song, or memory is shared. Planning the introductions in advance and grouping guests thoughtfully helps the ceremony feel personal while keeping the celebration moving smoothly.

A distinctive bat mitzvah begins with the guest of honor rather than a preselected theme. EMRG Media’s design team develops a custom creative direction inspired by her personality, interests, and style. Personalized branding, décor, lighting, lounge areas, entertainment, and interactive details are then brought together to create a celebration that feels original and cohesive.

A successful bat mitzvah gives children and adults experiences designed for their different needs while keeping everyone connected to the celebration. This may include separate lounge areas, age-appropriate entertainment, flexible food service, and carefully managed sound levels. The event layout, staffing, and schedule should allow younger guests to stay engaged while adults can comfortably dine, socialize, and enjoy the party.

Yes. EMRG Media can coordinate kosher catering based on the family’s level of observance and work directly with the synagogue, caterer, venue, and other event partners. The team helps align service timing, dietary requirements, venue guidelines, and celebration logistics so the religious and social portions of the event work together smoothly.

A bat mitzvah celebration often includes guest arrival, a cocktail or welcome reception, the guest of honor’s entrance, blessings or traditions, the candle-lighting ceremony, dining, speeches, and dancing. The exact order depends on the family’s customs and priorities. Meaningful moments that require guests’ attention are usually scheduled before dancing and high-energy entertainment begin.

Twelve months is standard and 18 or more for a peak Saturday date. The synagogue sets the date first, so the venue search starts the moment it is confirmed. Spring dates in the New York metro are the most competitive of the year.
