About DJ Dave

David Petry is the co-owner and founder of DJ Dave Productions. DJ Dave is a positive-minded, fun-loving person who has an incredible passion for success–and that includes the success of your wedding!

With an insatiable love and passion for music, he always knew he wanted to do something in the music/entertainment industry. He has been playing music since he was a child–first the guitar and then the bass guitar. He then played in several bands and recorded several different albums in the studio with “The Rafters.” His love and passion for music coupled with his desire to make people happy, and help them create memories they will never forget led him down a natural path to become a professional DJ over 16 years ago. He is living his life’s dream and absolutely loves what he does. Knowing he’s contributing to one of the most special days a couple will ever have, makes this the most rewarding occupation he could ever imagine. His wife Janet is his partner, and together they make an incredibly dynamic team for their clients.

She has been happily married to her soulmate for over 17 years, and they have three wonderful boys.
In her free time, she enjoys volunteering with students at church, camping, fishing, hunting, and spending time with family. Rachel has always had a passion for helping people in whatever ways she could. When the opportunity came up for her to work for the family business in 2017, she felt honored to join the team with her Dad, DJ Dave.
Her passion to help people goes hand in hand with her role as General Manager at DJ Dave Productions. From her initial conversation with couples, she helps put them in a stress-free state and goes over the online planning system to help make their wedding dreams come to life.

Phillip has lived in the Montgomery area for over 20 years. While in high school, he was in the band all four years. Being in the band exposed him to many instruments and created a passion for music. After learning how to play Drums and Bass, he chose to play with his church worship team as much as possible. As a techy at heart, he works on computers regularly, but music is still a top passion. He loves to blast music in the office all day long. Being a musician helps him understand how to mix in and out of a song to keep the crowd dancing longer and to entertain “non-dancers” who bop their heads all night long. A long-time friend introduced Phillip to DJ Dave Productions and he chose to join the team because of the team’s long-time experience and professionalism in the business.

Moving from sunny California, Paul started DJing in high school, spinning for school dances, holiday parties, Quinceañeras, and even on the school bus. When he moved to Houston in 2014 to attend Rice, he soon began performing at wild college parties every weekend, choosing to major in Electrical Engineering because he loved the technology behind DJing and wanted to learn more. Today, Paul is a Ph.D. student during the day and a DJ at night, playing at weddings, nightclubs, and events all over Houston. In particular, he loves DJing Weddings because he sees each as a wonderful night where two families come together. With guests of all ages coming from many different backgrounds, weddings allow Paul to play many genres and eras of music in a single night. His professionalism, enthusiasm, and love for all music matched him with DJ Dave Productions, and he is excited to be part of such a wonderful team. Additionally, his background in performing arts and music production allows him to be an enthusiastic (but not cheesy) MC, a skilled lighting designer, and a capable turntablist. Paul loves feeding off the energy of the crowd and making people dance. Choosing him as your DJ will guarantee an exciting, energetic, and unforgettable night!
