Thank you so much for being part of our wedding celebration! We all had such a blast, and despite the language barriers, the Slovak and Americans at the party were really able to connect through your terrific music selections. We all enjoyed ourselves so much, and couldn't have asked for more.

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!!

The Proper Setting
I can't tell you how many compliments we got about the music. Some even thought we designed the entire play list. Your selections had people dancing the entire night. I even saw some(my brother, brother-in-law and mother)dancing that I had never seen dance before. It occured to us, later, that there were no toasts and clinking glasses for a kiss all night because everyone was too busy dancing and having fun. That is a great testament to you.

It was a great reception. Everyone raved about the music. You kept the dance floor packed all night and everyone had a blast. I completely forgot to give you that music request list, but your choices couldn't have been more perfect. We had a fantastic time.
