About Us

In 2011, I was working at Kwik Kopy in Tomball. This was before ordering everything online had become the norm, so a local print shop was a crossroads for just about every kind of person and business imaginable. From lawn guys to lawyers, we knew everyone — and if you needed something, there was a good chance I knew someone who could help.

Then a friend called me with a problem I couldn’t immediately solve. Their DJ had canceled just days before their wedding, and they asked if I knew someone who could step in.

I knew exactly one person: my cousin, a former DJ who had already gotten out of the business. I called him. He declined. But then he made another suggestion. He still had his old equipment. Why didn’t I do it?

I had never planned on becoming a DJ. Now I had someone’s wedding in my hands with only a few days to figure it out.

I was terrified I was going to mess it up. Thankfully, I didn’t. The wedding itself is mostly a blur to me now, but it went well. When it was over, I tried to return the equipment to my cousin.

One venue became several. Saturdays became other nights. Other venues started calling. The schedule kept growing. Eventually, I ran into a pretty obvious problem: I couldn’t be in multiple places at the same time.

Jason became my first collaborator, and initially I wasn’t trying to build a traditional DJ company. I envisioned something more like a collective — a network of independent DJs who could work together instead of constantly competing against one another. Then TJ came aboard as my first steady DJ. That’s when Houston Party Network really began.

It represented a network of DJs, but it also left the door open for something bigger. I didn’t know exactly what HPN would become, but I knew I didn’t want the name — or the idea behind it — to limit where we could go. It turns out that was a good decision.

Today, Houston Party Network has grown into a team of 12 DJs, with approximately 34 standing events every week — before adding weddings, private parties, corporate events and the community events we produce throughout the month.

Our growth has been slow, and somewhat intentionally so. But other than during COVID, we have never had a true reduction in events or DJs. Every step back has brought two forward.

We’re based in Tomball and have deep roots in Northwest Houston, but our events take us throughout the Greater Houston area and beyond. Along the way, we’ve grown beyond DJ entertainment to offer karaoke, Jukebox Bingo, outdoor movie nights, foam parties and other event entertainment experiences.

But adding more services has never been the goal. Getting better at what we offer is. We don’t want a long list of services simply so we can say, “Yeah, we do that.” When HPN puts its name behind something, we want to be able to confidently say we can deliver it — and deliver it well.

There’s a bit of irony in the fact that this entire company exists because a DJ canceled on a wedding. Reliability has become one of the foundations of HPN.

We invest in equipment. We build processes. We maintain contingencies. We work to create consistency across a growing team, because our clients shouldn’t have to worry about what’s happening behind the scenes.

Things can go wrong at live events. Equipment can fail. People can get sick. There’s a difference between being arrogant enough to assume everything will work and being confident because you’ve done the work to be ready when it doesn’t. We want to earn that confidence.
