Best Weddings The Knot Picked by brides in The Knot
Best of Weddings 2008, 2009 and 2010

John Harper has once again been rated by local brides and voted The Knot Best of Weddings 2010 Pick for North Carolina. Read about this honor and please pick up a copy of The Knot Best of Weddings 2010 magazine and check out his listing.

As an Outer Banks wedding planner, I take very seriously the vendor referrals that I pass along to my brides and grooms. John Harper is truly a professional in his line of work. He is able to read the crowd at a wedding reception in order to provide the best music at the right time. He adapts to changes in timelines and announcements and does it with a "can-do" attitude. His knowledge of music is far superior to many that I have worked with. In fact, John eats, breathes and lives music!! Lucky are the bride and groom who are able to secure his services for their wedding reception!!

You were an instrumental (no pun intended) part of our big day. You really helped set the tone. We couldn't have asked for more.

Ginny Leggett // April 25, 2009 // AquaS Restaurant // Duck, NC

You are the best DJ ever! Thank you so much for the awesome selections you played. Our guests can't stop raving about what an awesome job you did. It was great working with you

Jennifer Baxter // May 30, 2009 // Whalehead Club // Corolla, NC

Thank you for helping make our reception awesome. A number of people asked me where we found you, and all were impressed with the music selections. You did a great job of helping us create a chill and laid-back event.

Katie Ammons // Sept. 20, 2009 // Whalehead Club // Corolla, NC

You did a fantastic job. We couldn't be happier. You came highly recommended, and now we know why.

I can't thank you enough for your part of the rocking affair. So many people commented on the music, and asked me if I told you what to play. As Miguel would tell you, I have a hard time relinquishing control over music selection (especially the car stereo). But you came so highly recommended and I enjoyed our pre-wedding chats, so it was easy to let go. What a great move! You really surpassed my expectations. So thank you for your part in the best night of my life (so far).

John was a terrific DJ. Even though I had some odd music requests, including a good bit of older music (like Johnny Cash, The Beatles, Willie Nelson), he played everything I wanted to hear. It was almost like I made up the playlist myself. He also had very good timing as far as when and what dance music to play. Even though my guest list was small, people were always out on the dance floor, from young kids up to grandparents.

Thank you. Everyone LOVED you. You rock.

Jolin Eckman // Sept. 11, 2009 // Whalehead Club // Corolla, NC

Thank you so much for being part of our big day. We have received many compliments about you and the music you played at our reception. Thank for being flexible and going with the flow when we asked you to play longer. Everyone told us you were the best, and we are so happy that we had the best.

Thanks so much. It was only as good as it was because of your great work. Dana and I are incredibly thankful to have had you there, and we'll be recommending you at every available opportunity.

Anthony Gamallo // Sept. 18, 2009 // Currituck Club // Corolla, NC

Thank you so much for making our day so special and fun. We had a blast. You knew exactly how to keep our crowd on the dance floor. All our guests loved you.

Kasandra Horner // Aug. 14, 2009 // Currituck Club // Corolla, NC

We can't thank you enough. You made sure to keep the party rocking, and I don't think many people sat back down. You are absolutely fantastic, and I couldn't have asked for a better DJ. All of your advice and suggestions were perfect.

You are the man. Thank for for everything - you did an amazing job. You kept everyone on the dance floor all night, and we had so much fun. We had so many people telling us how great the music was, and what an awesome job you did. I might be a little biased, but that was the best wedding I've ever been to.

Caitlin Kiernan // July 19, 2009 // Sanderling // Duck, NC

Thank you so much John. One of the biggest compliments we received was that the DJ was awesome. You kept everyone on the dance floor all night, and we had such a great time. And thank you for keeping things going when the time line went out the door.

Heather Harrison // June 13, 2009 // 108 Budleigh // Manteo, NC

Thanks so much for playing at our wedding. I knew I wanted you as our DJ after you played at my brother's wedding. You kept everyone on the dance floor all night, and it was an awesome party.
