Nags Head Weddings

A Music Man for All Seasons is a mobile disc-jockey service owned by John Harper, who has been entertaining at weddings and other occasions on the Outer Banks since 1985.  Few people know music as well as Harper, who can cite the year and artist off the top of his head of nearly any popular song. After playing for more than 800 wedding receptions and 200 functions ---parties, dances, reunions, corporate events --- Harper is so sought after, there is often a waiting list for his service.
