Doris Bergman, Impresario and renown Publicist produces phenomenal celebrity-studded events in Hollywood, but is especially celebrated for her annual Emmy Gifting Suite and Style Lounge and her Oscar Romance Suite, through which she garners publicity, recognition and support for Los Angeles' chapter of the national organization, "Wednesday's Child" Adoption Charity. Her exclusive, high-profiled events are held at the "Hollywood Hotspot"-- Fig & Olive Restaurant on Melrose Place in West Hollywood, California, deliberately chosen for their support of the worthy cause. 

In December 2013, Doris was honored by the LA County Board Supervisors for her dedication to  Wednesday's Child for over a decade.  In her acceptance speech Doris shared the stats, "When I learned that in Los Angeles County, alone, there were over 30,000 in the foster care program, I remember thinking two things, that being unwanted has to be the worst disease that any human being can ever experience and that Hollywood was the perfect place to start to raise awareness and money to address the needs of our children. She further expressed, "What I learned through my involvement with Wednesday's Child, most importantly, is that there are no unwanted children, just un-found families. We have been partners with "Wednesday's Child" for twelve years and counting."

A native San Franciscan, Doris Bergman entered “show biz” at the age of four as a piano prodigy, debuting as a guest soloist with the San Francisco Symphony at the age of ten. Ms. Bergman’s prodigious talent caught the attention of Maestro Arthur Fielder who subsequently invited Doris to perform with the San Francisco ‘Pops’ and Boston ‘Pops’ Orchestras as a featured guest soloist. At the age of 17, Doris debuted with Maestro Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic for the ‘Young People’s Concerts’ Series. Ms. Bergman has her Bachelor’s of Music from Mount St. Mary’s College in Brentwood and her Master’s of Music from the University of Southern California. 


Upon graduation, Doris became the Booking Manager of the Los Angeles ‘Pops’ Orchestra, famous for their dinner concerts at the Century Plaza Hotel, Jonathan and California Clubs. Doris brought to the ‘Pops’ the talent of Donna Summer, Nell Carter, Jose Feliciano, Robin Williams, Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jack Jones, John & Bonnie Raitt, Chic Corea, David Benoit, to name a few. After a four-year tenure with the Los Angeles ‘Pops’ Orchestra, Doris was invited to become the Executive Director/Booking Manager of the Embassy Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles. Having developed relationships with major symphony orchestras and conductors alike, Doris booked The Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, The Mozart Orchestra, The Los Angeles ‘Pops’ Orchestra and The California Symphony Orchestra.

The talent included Bette Midler, Barry Manilow, The Manhattan Transfer, Gotham, Robert Townsend, Ellen Green, Bud Friedman, Aaron Russo, Melissa Manchester, Ken Page and more. This concert became the prototype for what was to become APLA’s “Commitment to Life.” Later that year, Doris was invited to produce the Opening of the Westin Maui Hotel with the Honolulu Symphony Orchestra and booked Nell Carter for the performance.

However, because Doris has event producing in her blood, she still manages to produce huge Oscar and Emmy events along with product launches, book signings, restaurant openings and the like.
