25+ years planning Anniversary Party across New York City

EMRG Media has planned anniversary parties across New York City since 2001, from surprise vow renewals to milestone company anniversaries marking 10, 25, or 50 years in business. We understand that anniversaries carry history, so the planning has to honor what came before while still feeling like a celebration worth remembering.

Our team works closely with you (and discreetly, if it’s a surprise) to shape the guest list, venue, and program around the years being celebrated. We’ve handled anniversary parties for New York’s most private families as well as global brands like Netflix and BuzzFeed, and we bring that same level of care and attention to detail to every anniversary we plan, big or small.

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

EMRG Media plans milestone wedding anniversaries, company anniversaries, and family celebrations built around a landmark year, across New York City and the metropolitan area.

A good surprise is mostly timing. Give guests an arrival window well before the guest of honor, finish vendor load-in before there’s any chance of an accidental run-in, and put one person in charge of communicating with the honoree’s escort. The last 15 minutes before arrival are the danger zone. That’s when late guests, wandering vendors, and badly timed texts have a habit of ruining months of planning.
Photo installations, a tribute video, a menu drawn from a family recipe, a table set the way the first one was. EMRG Media’s design team builds those details into the room rather than propping them on a side table, so the story becomes part of the space.

Table math decides the room. A 60-inch round seats 8 comfortably and 10 tight, a 72-inch round seats 10 to 12, and a long table runs about 24 to 30 inches wide per guest. Allow 5 feet between tables for service to pass, and plan 20 to 25 square feet per guest overall once a dance floor is in the room.

Yes. Company anniversaries run through the same team with an added layer of brand, press, and program. EMRG Media has produced anniversary celebrations for global brands and for 25-year-old family businesses alike.

Between courses, not during them. The standard placement is after the main course is cleared and before dessert, roughly 90 minutes into a seated dinner, which is when a room is most settled and most attentive. Toasts before food starts leave a hungry room, and toasts at the very end compete with guests already standing to leave.

Two to four months suits an anniversary celebration of 150 guests or more, and 3 to 6 weeks can work for a dinner or a cocktail party. Anniversary dates are fixed, so the flexibility has to come from the venue and the day of the week rather than the date itself.
