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
How do you coordinate a bar mitzvah service and celebration on the same day?
Planning the religious service and the celebration requires one coordinated timeline that accounts for photography, transportation, family time, guest movement, and venue setup. When the service and party take place in different locations, travel logistics become especially important. A well-planned schedule gives the family enough time between each part of the day without making the celebration feel rushed.
How do you keep both kids and adults happy at a bar mitzvah?
A successful bar mitzvah gives younger guests and adults experiences that feel designed for them while still keeping everyone part of the same celebration. EMRG Media can create dedicated areas for kids with age-appropriate entertainment, food, and activities while designing comfortable spaces for adults to dine, socialize, and enjoy the event. Thoughtful sound, layout, and scheduling help both groups enjoy the party.
What themes work for a bar mitzvah?
How do you handle kosher catering and religious requirements?
What entertainment works well for a bar mitzvah?
Bar mitzvah entertainment can include DJs, MCs, dancers, interactive games, photo experiences, gaming stations, specialty performers, and other activities tailored to the guest list. EMRG Media helps select and coordinate entertainment that matches the personality of the guest of honor while keeping both kids and adults engaged throughout the celebration.
How much space does a bar mitzvah need?
The amount of space needed depends on the guest count, seating style, dance floor, entertainment, food service, lounge areas, and whether there will be a separate kids’ area. Bar mitzvahs often need more flexible floor space than a traditional seated event because guests move between dining, dancing, games, and activities. The right venue should comfortably support the full event layout without making any area feel crowded.
How far in advance should you plan a bar mitzvah NYC?
Bar mitzvah planning should begin once the synagogue date is confirmed. Starting early gives families more choices for venues, entertainment, catering, and other key vendors, especially for popular weekend dates and busy event seasons. Early planning also allows more time for creative development, family decisions, and coordination between the religious service and celebration.
