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
What counts as a milestone celebration?
A milestone celebration marks a moment that deserves more than an ordinary night out, such as a landmark birthday, company anniversary, retirement, funding round, office opening, award, or major achievement. The milestone gives the event its story. That might come through in a toast, reveal, tribute, presentation, or simply the design and details guests experience throughout the night.
How do you build a program around the milestone moment?
Start with the moment everyone came to celebrate, then build the run-of-show around it. For many events, that moment lands well about 60 to 90 minutes after doors, once guests have arrived and settled in but before the room starts to shift toward dancing or departures. EMRG Media uses that anchor to time service, speeches, entertainment, videos, and other elements around the moment that matters most.
What milestone celebrations does EMRG Media produce?
How long should speeches run at a milestone event?
Can you produce a video or tribute piece for the milestone?
What does it take to make a speech actually land in a large room?
How far ahead should a milestone celebration be booked?
Milestone nights of 150 guests or more want 3 to 5 months for the best venue availability. Smaller celebrations can be built in 4 to 8 weeks. If the date is fixed by the milestone itself, an anniversary or a retirement, start the venue search the moment the date is known, because the calendar has no flexibility to trade against.
