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 is the ideal guest count for a private dinner?
The ideal size depends on the purpose of the dinner and the kind of interaction you want to create. Smaller groups are often best for executive dinners, client entertaining, and intimate celebrations because they allow conversation to flow naturally around the table. Larger private dinners can still feel personal, but they require more thoughtful seating, room layout, and planning for remarks or presentations.
Can you book private dining rooms and chef's tables in NYC?
Yes. EMRG Media books private dining rooms and chef’s tables across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the metro, holding relationships with more than 100 of the best venues and services in New York City. Give the team the neighborhood, the count, and the tone, and a shortlist comes back.
How should guests be seated at a private dinner?
Can you manage dietary restrictions and allergies discreetly?
Yes. EMRG Media can collect dietary restrictions and allergy information in advance and coordinate directly with the chef, venue, and service team. These details are incorporated into the menu and seating plan so guests can be served appropriately and discreetly without disrupting the dining experience.
How long does a private dinner actually take?
The length of a private dinner depends on the number of courses, whether there is a cocktail reception, and whether the evening includes speeches, presentations, or other programmed moments. The goal is to give guests enough time to enjoy the meal and conversation without making the evening feel overly structured or drawn out. Remarks are typically incorporated naturally into the flow of service.
Does EMRG Media plan executive and board dinners?
Yes. EMRG Media plans executive dinners, board dinners, investor gatherings, client entertaining, and other private business occasions. These events are designed around privacy, professionalism, service pacing, seating, and the purpose of the meeting so the environment supports both conversation and hospitality.
How far ahead should a private dinner be planned in NYC?
It is best to begin planning as early as possible when the dinner requires a specific restaurant, private room, chef’s table, or popular event date. Availability can be more limited during busy dining and holiday periods. Early planning provides more venue options and additional time to coordinate menus, guest preferences, seating, and other details.
