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
When do NYC holiday party venues actually sell out?
The most popular December dates in New York City can disappear well before anyone is thinking about holiday décor. The first two weeks of December are especially competitive, with prime Thursday, Friday, and Saturday dates often going first. For companies that care about a specific venue or date, starting before Labor Day gives the planning team considerably more room to work.
What are the best nights to hold a holiday party in NYC?
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in the first three weeks of December give the best combination of attendance and availability, and weeknight venue rates typically run 20 to 30 percent below a Friday. Attendance drops sharply after December 20, and the week between Christmas and New Year’s loses roughly half a typical guest list to travel.
What holiday party formats does EMRG Media plan?
EMRG Media plans cocktail receptions, seated dinners, rooftop parties, lounge-style evenings, family days, and full holiday galas. Format follows headcount, budget, and how much of the night is meant for talking versus dancing.
Can EMRG Media host our 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, so the party is booked and produced by one team. It also means availability in a December market where most rooms are already gone.
What entertainment works best for a holiday party?
Match the entertainment to the room and the kind of night you want guests to have. A DJ takes up relatively little space and can carry a dance floor all evening, while a five-piece band may need 200 to 300 square feet of stage plus additional room for equipment and load-in. Roaming performers work especially well for cocktail-style parties because they bring entertainment directly into the crowd without requiring a stage. The entertainment choice should work with the floor plan, not fight it.
Do you handle décor and holiday theming?
EMRG Media designs and installs holiday décor in-house, from lighting and florals to full scenic builds, so the room reads as designed rather than decorated.
How late can a holiday party still be booked in New York City?
A smaller holiday party can sometimes come together 4 to 8 weeks out, but flexibility becomes the tradeoff. By late fall, the strongest remaining options may be earlier in the week, later in December, or in restaurants and private dining rooms rather than traditional event venues. If the date is flexible, there can still be excellent options. If the venue, date, and neighborhood are all non-negotiable, start much earlier.
