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.

Lucky are the bride and groom who are able to secure his services for their wedding reception!!” (Nannette Kallestad, The Proper Setting) (252) 473-4528 / harpodj@yahoo.com
The OBX DJ – Music is one of the most important ingredients to a successful wedding reception. No two weddings are the same and the music requirement for every one is different. That is why it is important to choose someone with a vast music database and the knowledge to use it effectively during the different phases of the reception. The playlist is never the same twice. I do not use a stock playlist or set up a dinner music CD and walk away. I will talk with you and deliver the music presentation you desire for your wedding. Every type of music is available and nearly any song you can think of too! We can even set aside a list of songs you DO NOT want to hear. This event is your event and should have the music you want played. (252) 449-6064
