Essex's new wedding trend - The Wedding Rapper!

It's time for you all to meet The Wedding Rapper – yes, you heard right! Nick Stedman is a songwriter, producer and recording artist who has ghost written for UK urban artists and has been featured on BBC Introducing. He has now turned his talents to weddings. “I was given the honour of being best man for a friend's big day and I came up with the idea of performing a bespoke rap for my speech,” Nick explains. “I threw in embarrassing moments, memories and some heartfelt thoughts. The reaction from the crowd was amazing and I knew it'd work for other people's days too.”

It all begins with a consultation so Nick can find out your needs. He then sends a questionnaire to gather all the information needed for your personalised song. From this, the creative cogs start moving. When written, a copy is sent to you to make any changes needed and once you're happy it's then recorded. Lastly, you just decide whether you want Nick to perform on the day, or you can play the recording.

“I love writing songs for people as each story is so different,” Nicks says. “The icing on the cake is being able to perform for their loved ones and sharing that special moment.”
