Welcome To Starstruck

"Starstruck Events". was a real place.  When I worked there it was called Hollywood Parties. The book "Welcome To Starstruck". is based on a true story, my true story.  

A wild, glitter-soaked ride through the 1990s that proves the best stories start with an idea and a whole lot of heart.

Welcome to StarStruck—Is the story of Starstruck Events. The outrageous character-themed party empire that brought boy bands, pop princesses, and superheroes straight into Long Island basements and backyards.

At its center is Jake, a restless, too-much-for-his-own-good teenager chasing fast cash and the faint hope of impressing a girl. What he finds instead is chaos, camaraderie, and a front-row seat to the birth of something bigger than he ever imagined.

Mascot meltdowns. Glow-stick raves. Basement dreams that teeter between magic and disaster. A ragtag crew that becomes family. And a hustle so pure it turns a simple party business into Long Island legend.

Blending heartfelt coming-of-age moments with laugh-out-loud dramedy, Welcome to StarStruck is more than a trip back in time—it’s the origin story of a world that still sparkles with 90s energy. This is the beginning. The spark. The first wild ride.

The real legend? It’s only getting started.
