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!

WPP 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.

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
What percentage of employees actually attend a company holiday party?
Company holiday party attendance in New York City runs 60 to 75 percent of invited staff when the event is on a weeknight and in Manhattan. It drops to 45 to 60 percent for a weekend date or an outer-borough venue, and rises above 80 percent when the party is held during work hours. Plan catering to the realistic number rather than the headcount, and confirm through a real RSVP rather than an assumption.
What holiday party formats does EMRG Media plan for companies?
EMRG Media plans holiday galas, office parties, rooftop receptions, seated dinners, cocktail hours, family days, awards nights, and casual mixers, from a single flagship evening to a series of team parties across December.
Should a company holiday party include plus-ones?
Plus-ones raise attendance among senior and long-tenured staff and lower it among junior employees, who often prefer a colleagues-only night. They also add 40 to 60 percent to catering and venue capacity. The workable middle for most companies is a plus-one at a seated dinner or gala and employees only at a casual cocktail format, decided before invitations go out rather than as an exception granted later.
Can EMRG Media host our company holiday party at Nebula or the Amber Room?
Yes. EMRG Media is the exclusive event producer for Nebula and the Amber Room, two Manhattan venues, which gives corporate clients December availability in a market where most rooms are gone by early fall, with booking and production handled by one team.
How should a company handle alcohol at a holiday party?
The standard controls are a drink-ticket limit of 2 to 3 per guest, a bar that closes 30 to 45 minutes before the event ends, full food service throughout rather than passed items only, and pre-arranged transport. Beyond liability, the practical reason is pacing. An open bar with no close time turns the final hour into the part people remember for the wrong reason.
Does EMRG Media handle décor, entertainment, and vendor coordination?
Yes. EMRG Media coordinates the design, décor, entertainment, AV, catering, staffing, and other partners behind the celebration. One producer keeps those pieces connected throughout planning and event day so the company’s internal team isn’t spending December chasing vendors.
How do you make a holiday party work for a diverse workforce?
Design the night as a year-end celebration rather than a single holiday. That means neutral décor language, a menu covering vegetarian, halal, kosher, and gluten-free without requiring anyone to ask, a genuine non-alcoholic bar rather than soda, and a date that avoids observances across the calendar. The practical test is whether any employee has to explain themselves to participate fully.
