Perfect OBX Wedding Night!

My husband and I along with all of our guest cannot say enough good things about John Harper. He was extremely flexible and accommodating with our short time span and played every single song we requested. He also made the music in the ceremony go seamlessly as well. John was so kind and we cannot recommend him enough!!! Best wedding music ever!

DJ John Harper is great!

John was wonderful to work with. He was personable, helped us prep everything well in advance to ensure music for our wedding day was squared away, had lots of great advice, and most importantly we danced all night with awesome music. He played all our personal favorites and crowd favorites to keep the party going. Super kind, helpful, and just good at what he does, a great choice for anyone!

hot summer wedding!

We got married in OBX in July.. so you can assume it was HOT! John Harper was a great DJ choice for our wedding. He found every song I needed and played it perfectly during the ceremony. During the reception the dance floor never went empty! He took some songs I requested and made sure to play each of them...(much appreciated!!) All my guests were loving the songs and loved that they could write a suggestion on his table as well. Everyone was included and he kept that dance floor dancing! 10/10. Thanks John.

Wedding Reception

My husband and I got married in OBX in August, 2025, and John was our DJ for the ceremony / reception. He was lovely to work with and very communicative (which was extremely helpful as we are from New England!). John was very professional and kind; he even offered to stop by the house we were expected to stay at to discuss feasibility of setup for the ceremony, as it was on the beach.

I highly recommend working with him!

Best DJ out there!

John took on my wedding pretty last minute and did a wonderful job. Everything was perfectly queued and there was not a dull moment. Our guests along with my husband and I didn’t get off the dance floor the whole night. Highly recommend!

Wedding at the Pier

Our wedding was just as we had hoped! John met with us a couple times before the day and helped us work out a good plan for the ceremony music as well as a plan for the reception. He even worked with us when I added an additional song at the last minute to our wedding ceremony.

We had a mix of older and younger guests and he did a great job of keeping everyone on the dance floor. Professional and very helpful in keeping things on schedule. Definitely recommend using John!
