Emergency party support
Party911
The DJ cancelled at 3pm. The caterer stopped answering. The venue flooded. Whatever just happened, Party911 is our rapid-response line for events in trouble today.
This is a limited menu at premium prices. We will be honest about what is possible on the clock you have. But if you are in a jam, we can help you get out of it.
Emergency DJ and sound

Venue rescue
If your space falls through, we work our partner venues and network to re-home the night. No promises, strong odds.
Care packages
The essentials, stocked and delivered: drinks, mixers, munchies, and the things everyone forgot.
Straight answers
Questions people ask at 3pm on the day of.
How fast can you actually get here?
Within NYC, a DJ with a rig can typically be playing within 3 to 4 hours of a confirmed booking. Bar and staff bookings are usually faster. Outside the city, call and we will be straight with you.
Why is it more expensive than booking ahead?
Same-day dispatch means paying our people premium rates to drop everything, plus expedited transport and gear prep. You are buying certainty on a day that has none.
What if my event is tomorrow, not today?
Still call. Anything with more than 24 hours of runway books at closer-to-normal rates, and you get more menu to choose from.
What can you not fix?
Weather, heartbreak, and guest lists. Almost everything else has a workaround.
In a jam right now?
