    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!

    Obx best dj

    John Harper was such an amazing DJ for our wedding in June 2024! He played a wide variety of music for all of our guest to hit the dance floor. He had a great set up for our ceremony, and did a phenomenal job fitting the beat throughout our dinner which really set the tone for the rest of the evening! I cannot recommend John Harper enough to any future brides!

    The Life of the Party

    John made our wedding reception the giant party we wanted. The dance floor was packed all night long and so many of our guests told us that John killed it! We gave John a list of several requests and he followed it perfectly and added in several songs that kept the party going. He is professional and was absolutely the person to get the job done in making our night a memorable one. He made announcements to ensure our reception flowed perfectly. Our reception would not have been the same without him! For anybody looking for a wedding DJ in the OBX, DJ John Harper is the man for the job!

    Jeanette’s Pier Wedding

    John Harper helped create a wonderful wedding experience. We provided minimum effort toward music selection and he read the room and our guests to provide an amazing soundtrack and kept everyone on the dance floor engaged. His wedding announcements were beyond professional and he added just the right amount of flair when it was needed.
    I strongly recommend John Harper’s services. His easy demeanor and professionalism will help anyone’s wedding go perfectly from start to finish.

    Thank you so much, John!!

    John DJed our wedding Nov. 11th and he was outstanding! From the ceremony to the last song of the night, he went above and beyond to make the night go smoothly and so perfectly! He is so kind, fun, knowledgeable and such a pleasure to be around! He knocked it out of the park with the song choices and keeping the dance floor full all night long! Highly recommend John for your wedding or event!

    Awesome DJ

    John DJed our wedding last week and he did an amazing job! I wish I had $1 for every person who came up to me and said “your DJ is on fire!” John has DJed 3 family events for us now and did an amazing job every time and I would 100% hire him again!

    John knows how to keep a party going!

    John did wonderfully! I provided a list of the songs I wanted played for key aspects of the ceremony and reception and they all went wonderfully!! I also provided a couple suggestions for songs throughout the evening and John took them and was able to make sure that the dance floor stayed packed. He knew exactly how to read the room and the guests and figure out what songs would be a hit and which ones wouldn’t. I’m so thankful that John was able to work his magic!

    The best decision we made!!

    John Harper was the best wedding DJ we could've asked for. From our ceremony to the last song, he provided the best services possible. We received so many compliments during the reception and post-wedding about the great music selection. We had guests on the dance floor all night which I give all the credit to John!! Thank you John for helping us create the best wedding day and best dance party. I 100% highly recommend John Harper to any couple planning their wedding!

    Great award winning DJ in OBX

    John was DJ for our wedding and he did a great job. We have different music tastes and he incorporated everything to make the music seem very personalized and also kept people dancing all night. We had him do some announcements for us and he kept everything running smoothly. We had the chance to meet with him before our wedding and he’s such a kind person and very easy to work with. His pricing is very fair. Would definitely recommend John Harper!

    John was so easy to work with and offered a TON of great insights and advice to help make our event everything we wished it to be! He is so accommodating and is able to act quickly and adjust course when needed. I absolutely recommend John for any event!

    Extremely satisfied

    Music was one of the most important aspects of our wedding. We wanted as many people on the dance floor for as long as possible during our reception. John absolutely knocked it out of the park with providing a steady stream of great music and a fun atmosphere.

    We provided John with a brief playlist of songs as inspiration for the kind of music that we wanted during our reception. He took those suggestions and built an excellent playlist for the wedding that kept our guests entertained from cocktail hour until last call. John was incredibly respectful of our wishes when we spoke with him and ensured that the atmosphere of the party was always fun and upbeat. We trusted John’s judgment with song selection 100% and absolutely recommend that you work with him for your big day. We and our guests loved every song that he played and danced until the venue closed down.

    John was a huge asset in making our day extra special! He and I had a few phone calls prior to the wedding, and he offered help and insight and was very easy to work with. You can tell he has been doing this for awhile! He knew how to read the crowd and keep people on the dance floor. We would definitely recommend his services!

    The best DJ & MC

    I have seen DJ John Harper at many events and knew I wanted to hire him for our wedding festivities. He did a fantastic job at both our rehearsal dinner and wedding! He had a meeting with us early on and showed us a site where we could pick songs. We only picked a few of our favorite songs and let him read the crowd and fill in the rest. He is very experienced, so he knows most of the venues/vendors which is very helpful. He is also a wonderful announcer/MC, so he did a great job doing the wedding party intros etc.

    John was the DJ for my wedding in Buxton, NC in March 2021. He was very responsive, played everything we asked for and kept people dancing all night. I would highly recommend him to any bride and groom.

    You wont regret using him for your big day!

    During the trying times of trying to plan a wedding in the middle of a pandemic not only was he affordable which is a rare find here on the Outer Banks, DJ John Harper was there to help me with any question, concern or special request. He played the traditional wedding music that got everyone up and moving and then switched to a more modern playlist once some of our older guest left the reception which made for a perfect evening of having everyone out on the dance floor! DJ John Harper worked with my wedding planner and kept the reception moving right on schedule and the night went off without a single flaw. I would highly recommend hiring him as your wedding DJ, you wont regret it!

    The perfect DJ!

    John Harper made our wedding night so much fun! He was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding, and when it came to the night of, he made everything flow so smoothly. He stuck with our musical preferences perfectly and had a great sense of humor. We could not have asked for a better DJ! Thank you so much John!

    OBX Wedding

    John made this process as easy as it comes! From the first phone call we had, he laid out how he typically handles a wedding and from there it was history. He allowed us to enjoy the night just as we pictured. We gave him general songs, genres etc. we were into and he made up a playlist and felt out the crowd as the night went along which kept everyone moving all night.. everyone loved him & had so much fun we ended up asking him to stay longer! Would recommend over and over!

    Incredible!

    John was very highly recommended to us via a family friend in the area who had used his services for two weddings in the family already. From the first phone call with John, our mind was made up. He was so polite and professional and the way he speaks instills a sense of calm, a byproduct of years of experience I'm sure. Coming from Pittsburgh for an Outer Banks wedding, we weren't able to meet with any of the vendors ahead of time, but when John showed up the day-of, it was like we were old friends. We delayed our wedding a year due to Covid, and throughout the year John would check-in with us just to see how things were going. As we got closer we ironed out all the details over the phone. We didn't have a wedding coordinator or anything of the sort and we told John as much. He volunteered to keep the night rolling with announcements, timing, he even talked to the caterers to figure out the best way for guests to go up to the buffet line. He provided a microphone and speaker for our ceremony on the beach behind the house (something we thought was going to be difficult), but again, it wasn't a problem! The dance floor was rocking all night and we had so many people tell us how great of a job he did. John acted as a DJ and wedding coordinator on our day, but most of all a reassuring figure throughout the TWO YEAR planning process, who continuously checked in and encouraged us throughout the scariest time of our lives (planning a wedding during Covid). 10/10 would absolutely recommend. Weddings or any other event that needs a top-notch DJ, John is your guy.

    Outstanding!

    John was a great addition to our wedding day! He was super resonsive and worked around our schedule. This was a destination wedding for us. He was able to meet with us when we visited the area so we could introduce ourselves and go over what we wanted. We had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID-19 and it was no problem for John at all. We had our ceremony on the beach and he brought his portable speakers and a microphone so everyone could hear clearly. The music he played at the reception was very versitle. We gave him our song list and he played a lot of those and others that he thought would get people dancing. My family and friends commented on how well he did throughout the night. He was reserved and respected everyone and did not take over the party. I would recommend John for any occasion! Thanks again!

    Got the Party Going!

    John Harper made the party happen at my wedding! He was a wonderful emcee and kept the tunes bumping all night long. Everyone from my wedding talks about how much fun they had dancing all night long. I knew it was going to be a good party when the dance floor was full (and there was an impromptu dance floor on the other side of the venue) all before dinner was even served! Definitely recommend!

    Excellent!

    Even on his own birthday, he came and DJ’ed at my wedding! He was great the entire day/night. He took requests but more importantly he knew the songs the crowd would like. We did not have a wedding coordinator, so he was able to help direct the entire reception - from entry, to cake cutting, to first dances, etc. John also played our ceremony music! The best way to get in contact with him is via telephone but he will get back to your email within days. Highly recommend!

    Highly recommend!

    John was extremely helpful in planning for and conducting DJ services for our daughter’s wedding. She had to plan from long distance, and without a clear idea of what she and her fiancé wanted. John really listened and had terrific recommendations for music choices, and at the reception he really “read the room” perfectly as far as figuring out exactly what the crowd wanted to hear!

    Absolutely Amazing!!

    Having John Harper as our wedding DJ was an amazing experience! From our first phone conversation to danging the night away at our wedding, John was perfect and a joy to work with! He is incredibly personable and really got to know my husband and I as a couple. He asked us what music we like but also assured us that he likes to read the crowd which makes sure to get everyone danging! He was a hit with our guests, young and old alike! He was always available to talk if we had questions and he went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect! Also, John worked great with our other vendors to make sure the night went off without a hitch! We hired John as our wedding DJ but we ended our wedding adventure considering him a friend. If you are looking for the best DJ for your wedding or event, definitely call John!!

    John was so great to work with coming up to the wedding and also during the wedding. I gave him songs for the big moments and he came up with everything else for the night and did awesome. Highly recommend John if you need a DJ!

    July 2018 Wedding

    John is a wonderful DJ! He met with my husband, mom, and I about 4 months out from the wedding to get an idea of what we wanted. He was easily available via phone and email to send song suggestions to and special dances. My husband and I met with him again 2 days before the wedding to firm up details with the venue. He was able to set up and run the music for our beach ceremony, then have music ready for inside dinner, and then did our music outside for dancing. He read the crowd perfectly, playing songs just right for our party and dancing crowd. Our guests raved about how great the music was and how much fun the reception was because of it! We sang and danced the night away! John's personality is very laid back and he is easy to work with. He is a must-have DJ for an OBX wedding!

    So much fun!

    John was so great! He was easy to talk to and helped guide us while planning for our wedding reception. We did not have everything planned out perfectly when the reception started but John just rolled with the punches and had our family out on the dance floor ten minutes after dinner. He knew the right songs to play at the right time and we were on the dance floor all night! He was the perfect person to help us celebrate our wedding.

    John was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding this past summer. He was super responsive and very flexible and helpful with everything we wanted. Even when we added a couple extra crazy things into the reception the week of the wedding. He met with us personally months before the wedding to get a feel for what we wanted and it worked out perfect. Everyone left our wedding happy! We would definitely recommend him to anyone.

    We called John in a last minute bind and not only was he available, but he was able to give us the perfect music. We only gave him 2 weeks notice and he gave us a night to remember. We got married in October and even this thanksgiving we had family and friends tell us how much they enjoyed the weeding music. He played all their favorite songs! Thanks John we can't wait to have you DJ again. (Not a wedding this time, maybe just a party)

I planned my entire wedding from home in hopes that everything would be perfect when I arrived to my wedding at the beach. Everything was a hit thanks to John and my other vendors. His play list kept everyone dancing the entire time! He is an absolute layed back professional! I was completely comfortable with him! I can not say enough good things!

    My husband and I were lucky enough to have John DJ our wedding. We live in Maryland and had our hearts set on getting married in the OBX; John was awesome from the start, always making time to meet with us on our random trips down. He played an excellent selection of jams that kept our guests on the dance floor all night. If you're looking for an awesome DJ with a vast knowledge of music and a chill personality, John is your guy.

    John was awesome! He was the first vendor we booked for our wedding as we wanted to make sure he was available for our date. He was extremely easy to work with and he even was willing to set up the music for our ceremony. Our reception was a blast thanks to John. He played a great mix of oldies and new music that kept everyone on the dance floor for the entire evening. Highly recommend!

    John was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was extremely flexible the day of our wedding. The weather called for 45+ mph winds and he developed several set-up options for us. Thankfully, the weather cooperated with us and we were able to set up outside. All of our guests had a blast, thanks to John! If you are getting married at Croatan RIdge, John is very familiar with this house.

    We really enjoyed getting to know and work with John. He was the very first call we made in our search for our DJ and we never looked back. He is very knowledgeable about music and it was very apparent that music is his passion. He was always available to talk when questions came up and we leaned on his experience having worked hundreds (maybe even thousands) of events in OBX over his long career.

    As for the wedding experience, he was crucial in figuring out the best mic to use (in OBX the wind can be very loud) and getting the sound just right for our attendees. He guided us through the reception portion like a true pro. Everyone danced the night away, both young and old...we all had a blast!

    Many thanks to you John Harper!

    Best,
    Ryan & Melanie

    We new we wanted to work with John after our first conversation with him for our May 15, 2016 wedding. He made the the process so easy for us. Our wedding was at an event home and John was familiar with the home so it made planning that much easier. At our reception John what music to play for our guests to keep everyone having fun and dancing. It truly was a blast. I'd use his services again and would recommend him to anyone.

    "A DJ why do we need a DJ." That was my answer when two close friends popped by one evening a few weeks before our son was getting married. The friend and his son were both former DJ's. He was almost angry because his son was my son's Best Man. "You mean these two never thought of a DJ?"
    The discussion turned to why would you risk all the effort and expense of a wedding going off the rails by not having a good DJ. Well that was all I needed to hear. I did my research and made a contact that night for what my research told me was the top DJ on the Outer Banks and rated as a top DJ on the east coast. Well it turns out John also knew the members of the Band Delta Rae from a broadcasters convention he attended and then later had play live on his broadcast when they played Nags Head in 2014 or 2015. Delta Rae is my brothers kids and my son and daughter's favorite cousins. The wedding was a smash and John really did bring it home. I think he would agree it was somewhat miraculous how rain was called for all day and it threatened but not a drop fell! Along with Currituck Barbecue this wedding was so fun and everyone had such a fun time watching a very sweet couple get married! I would do this again for my daughter's wedding in a heart beat! Thanks John you really helped make it such a special day! My wife was particularly touched by you call and comments a few days later.

    Put simply, John is as good as it gets. I had been to a number of weddings where John was the DJ, and I was always impressed by his ability to judge what would get people dancing, the way he helps the evening flow smoothly, and his absolute professionalism. So, when my daughter told us she was getting married, the first thing I did in preparation was to book John as the DJ. And in working with him, I was doubly impressed. If you are looking for someone with impeccable attention to detail, flexibility, and skill in making the event and the individual pieces of that event come together seamlessly, you have found the person you want.

    John is great! I think he called me more during the planning process than I called him, which I appreciated! He would call just to check in on the planning and help with suggestions. My favorite suggestion he gave us was to do the anniversary dance and give the longest married couple a little Outer banks Souvenir, which we thought was a great idea. He played the songs that we wanted as well as played songs to keep the party alive, let's just say I have never seen my Mom dance so much. John was an excellent addition to our wedding and we thoroughly enjoyed working with him!

    John was worth every single penny we spent! It has been almost 3 months since our wedding and we still have our friends and family talking about how wonderful and entertaining our DJ was! I was fearful of our older guests not dancing and having an empty dance floor, but I was so happy to see everyone dancing the entire night! We provided John with a list of songs we definitely wanted him to play, which he played, and then he added in other songs and knew exactly what would keep everyone dancing. We also had him announce our wedding party and he had the perfect announcing voice! Before and during our wedding John was so easy to work with and so flexible with all of our requests. Thanks for making our night so much fun for all of our guests. We would recommend John to everyone getting married in the Outer Banks!

    Wish I could rate john higher than a 5 !!! We were so excited to have john as our DJ at our daughters wedding reception. Our family has heard john on the radio since we first visited nags head many years ago. And we felt honored to have " a real DJ" host the teception! John was so great to work with during all the planning- and the day of the wedding he had everyone up dancing & having the best time together ! I highly recommend john Harper ! He is the best!!

    John did an amazing job at our reception! He knew exactly how to play to the audience and kept the guests entertained! People were constantly dancing and there was never a dull moment! He is a very nice, laid back guy who was available for any questions or modifications. I highly recommend using his services!

    John was very easy to work with. He set up early, stayed until the end, and was very respectful of our wishes (do not play list, etc). We loved the music and everything went off without a hitch despite very little oversight (no day of coordinator). I was more than satisfied with everything!

    Simply Outstanding! John Harper was excellent. He listened to what we wanted and was able to adapt to an audience with both kids and adults who kept dancing all night! John definitely has a DJ voice- we were so pleased with him and his work.

    John Harper did the music for our ceremony and reception. He was an excellent DJ, our wedding song list was all over the place from oldies, to pop, country, rock. He did a fantastic job meshing all of this music and keeping everyone on the dance floor. As the bride, I literally did not leave the dance floor. Once the music started I danced all night! He made sure to check with me on certain songs that were requested from the guests before playing. I would recommend his services to anyone who asks! Thank you John for making our night great!

    John Harper is the man! Everyone was on the dance floor the ENTIRE night and he played exactly what we asked him to. It was a beach wedding, so we wanted beach music and oldies and he did not disappoint. He played an array of both and kept people dancing and excited to hear what would come on next. A week or so before I emailed him songs we definitely wanted to hear and he played them all and then some! He also was great about playing songs and genres we didnt particularly want - rap, group dance songs, etc. All in all, if we could do it over we would 100% pick him again. He has a cool and relaxed personality and was the perfect addition to our day. Thanks John! You are the best!

    John was very nice and very helpful!! He was actually the one vendor whom didn't stress me! Lol! I had some issues before our wedding with my mother getting very sick and typical wedding craziness and he understood, actually asked how my mom was doing and helped me finish our set list, we literally decided on two very important songs the night before the wedding due to all the craziness!! He was on time and professional, he was nice and friendly, I would def recommend him to anyone!

    We love John! From the first time I spoke to John, I knew he was ready to party! We had such a fun time at our wedding! The dance floor was never EMPTY! All the guests were commenting how that was the best playlist (some even wanted a copy of his playlist). John was so easy to work with and helped a lot with our timeline and kept us on track. Thank you so much John!! :)

    As a bride trying to plan a destination wedding in the Outer Banks, John Harper was a saint, offering to help in any way. Initially, I did a lot of online research trying to find the best of the best for a DJ and photographer, John Harper's reviews moved him to the top of the list of desired DJ's. In emailing both the photographer and DJ, they individually offered to give additional recommendations to make the best choice possible being a bride planning from afar. Both recommended each other and offered to help in any way possible, from looking at event homes, giving their professional opinion, and going out of their way to assure my questions were answers and I felt confident in booking the vendors.

    John was always quick to respond to emails, and phone calls. He helped the reception run smoothly and played a GREAT combination of music to get ALL generations dancing and having a great time! I would recommend John over and over as the BEST DJ in the Outer Banks, you will not be disappointed!

    We met John at the Outer Banks Wedding expo and knew immediately that he was the dj we wanted. He was laid back and confident and not at all pushy. He was by far the easiest vendor to deal with. I can't remember a single time during the reception when people weren't dancing. He read the crowd perfectly. I'm glad that we ordered a larger dance floor because he had us dancing all night. Best dj ever. I'd recommend him to anyone who asked.

    John Harper is hands down the best DJ in the Outer Banks! He was easy to work with and never complicated anything! When planning a wedding that is huge. He played the songs we requested and also has an amazing talent at picking the best music for the specific crowd. All of my guests talked about how great the music was and it is all thanks to John! If you are getting married in the OBX reserve him NOW! He is so good that he books up fast!

    We searched a few DJ's in the Outer Banks area and when I contacted John Harper, I really liked talking to him, he was very personable, especially because he called instead of e-mailing back. We went down and meet up with him in NC and my impression was great, he was outgoing, funny and very experienced. I sent him a list of songs, but at the wedding I felt that he read the crowd and knew exactly what they liked. The dance floor was full most of the night. I was amazed. It made the reception very fun!!!

    From the minute John started playing music until the very last song everyone was on the dance floor. He definitely knows how to make a party. John was also so personal and friendly and was available by phone to answer any questions. No complaints here!

    My mom and I met John when we visited a venue on a whim very shortly after my engagement. Though we weren't quite ready to start considering vendors, our brief meeting with him (as he prepared for a wedding) put him on the short list for wedding DJs. When we were ready to choose a DJ, he was our first choice, and he didn't disappoint. He provided us with a great list of things he'd need for the wedding, was available to talk on the phone and really helped me plan my reception timeline. On the day of the wedding the timing didn't go exactly as planned, but John was super flexible and very helpful in ensuring that we were able to get everything done. Beyond that, people were on the dance floor all night with a great mix of music that our guests of all ages enjoyed. We've received many compliments on the great music and how much fun everyone had. We also got a lot of fun dancing pictures. Overall, John was exactly what we had in mind, helped the event run seamlessly, and made me feel calm and at ease!

    Mr. John Harper is a fabulous DJ! His smooth radio voice will be a great addition to any wedding! He was able to make the whole night flow with his selection of music. Our wedding had a mix of ages and backgrounds, which Mr. Harper was easily able to cater to; a testament to his many years of professional service. Everyone had a great time - especially us! We had utter faith in his abilities, and we were not let down. Mr. Harper was great to work with. He made the time and effort to support us in whatever way he could.

He was also very flexible and he stayed an extra hour when we requested it last minute. In addition, John was always responsive and professional, and he has a great radio/announcing voice!

    John Harper was the perfect DJ for our wedding!! He listened so well to everything we wanted. And he could read the response from our guests to play the best choices at our reception. He was incredibly kind and unobtrusive. Everyone raved about him and the great song choices he played. My husband and I agreed that he wasn't our DJ but another guest because he was so much fun!! Hire John for an unforgettable wedding!!

    John Harper is the way to go. Period. When asked by several people in Nags Head who my DJ was, they would swoon after I told them John Harper was our DJ!

    He is such a cool guy. We met him at the OBX Wedding Expo and chatted anough to know that he was the one for us. John's a radio DJ for 99.1 The Sound and before the wedding, my husband and dad would listen to the station regularly. As weird as this sounds, he has the perfect voice for announcing. He is easy to understand and pronounces things extremely well.

    Something else he does is play to the crowd. I never gave him a playlist for our wedding, aside from the dance songs, and my guests raved about the music selection and everyone had a blast dancing all night!

    John was recommended by our photographer, and after reading his reviews I knew he'd be a great fit! He always kept in great contact with me, and I really appreciated John speaking with me on the phone to get to know us as a couple since we were planning a destination wedding. The day of, our wedding seemed to be very whirlwind but when we finally got to dance and relax it was because of John! Everyone had a fantastic time, wish it could have lasted longer. Definitely go with John, you will not be disappointed, plus his "radio" voice is awesome!

    John was extremely flexible in working with us throughout the wedding process. He even served as a resource for us as we were deliberating on other catering and photography vendors. While John's not the most technologically savvy guy in the business, he did a really nice job and played great music throughout dinner and the reception. He even loaned us a portable audio system to use throughout the week and for our beach ceremony. That came up clutch! John is a great dude!

    John Harper was AMAZING during the whole process of planning our wedding!! He was extremely easy to talk with and not only helped us out with song choices but also gave us recommedations for other vendors he worked with in the past. THe music was FANTASTIC and fit our personalities perfectly!!! Our guest were dancing throughout the night. John also played "Let It Go" for the little ones during dinner, which made their night :) We would defianetly recommed John to anyone who wants a outstanding DJ, who arrives early, easy to talke with, always returns your call, gives advice to help planning and is just a great individual all together!! Thanks John for everything!
    Love,
    GeeJay and Sarah Clark

    Honestly, John Harper could not have done better. We gave him a fairly detailed song list, and he executed to perfection. The ceremony music was perfectly timed. During the reception our guests never left the dance floor. But more, overall John is just a very nice, accommodating person. I would highly recommend him to anyone. A pleasure to work with.

    When I first met John Harper, I knew I wanted him to be the DJ for our wedding. He is laid back, but responsive. I knew he would have a great time with our guests and would make sure our guest were out on the dance floor. He did not disappoint! John is a great value and a great DJ. I would highly recommend him.

    John was a wonderful addition to our wedding. He was easy to work with, helped us troubleshoot an issue with a song we wanted for the father daughter dance, and knew exactly how to get the group moving. We had a small wedding, so wasn't sure how our dance floor would turn out, but our friends stayed dancing all the way til the end!

    John did an amazing job. He played the music for our reception, and everything was perfect. John was very easy to work with, and super professional. We highly recommend him for your DJ. Thanks John.

    John did a fabulous job!! He played the absolute perfect music for us during our reception, based only off of a few songs that we had requested in advance. Everyone kept telling us how perfect the DJ was and how not a single song he played seemed "out of place". He arrived right on time, set himself up, and went with the flow. He is obviously extremely experienced and we are so pleased that John was our DJ!!! I would most definitely recommend him!

    John Harper helped us throw one heck of a party at our wedding reception. It was a destination wedding and our wedding coordinator referred him. After only meeting him once and speaking to him a couple times on the phone before the wedding, we got a really good feeling that we could completely trust him with the music selection. We only gave him a few "must plays" and a few "no plays" and he completely took care of the rest of the music. Our guests were dancing nonstop the entire night! I would highly recommend his DJ services to any bride or groom.
