10/10 - The search for your wedding band ends here!!

We chose Pop the Top for our wedding at Orchardleigh Estate, 26/9/24 &
we really can't talk highly enough about these guys...
Firstly, their communication from day one right up to the big day was beyond fantastic, always replied straight away & were always super clear & helpful, which takes away so much stress when you're having to deal with so many different vendors!
Secondly, they were soooo accommodating with all of our requests for specific songs we wanted/didn't want in the setlist & DJ setlists, even to the point of learning & playing a rather unknown old song which has been part of all our family occasions for decades (which they nailed live!), they really did go above & beyond with everything we asked for.
As for their performance, everything they say about themselves & promise...they deliver!! And then some! Fantastic lightshow, phenomenal live performance, great energy & atmosphere, very very funny, great guys all round but most importantly, were incredibly professional all night.
All our guests are still raving about them, a few have already looked into booking them for their own events, there really isn't a negative thing to say about them at all.
If you want a high energy band to add the cherry on top of your wedding cake, look no further!
We're so glad we found & chose these guys, really did make our day even more memorable and have given us memories which will last a life time.

10/10 - 5* Stars - You Will not be disappointed!!

Thanks again guys,
Nick & Gemma.

Amazing band

My husband and I went to see Pop the Top play twice before our wedding and on each occasion they always smashed it. They learnt our first dance song and a couple other of our requests - each were played perfectly. They bring the energy and good vibes - our guests were on the dance floor the whole evening! Couldn't fault these guys - and we will definitely make the effort to see them play again at our local. Thanks again, you made our night unforgettable!

Amazing band!!

Pop the top played at our wedding and were absolutely amazing in both the acoustic afternoon solo set and the evening band sets. The music was great and they had everyone up and dancing. All correspondence was super friendly, speedy and really helpful. They created the perfect set list for us and made sure to find out and incorporate all our favourite music genres/artists/songs. So many guests have since commented on how great they were wand asked for details.
Thanks so much you made the wedding an absolute blast!!

Excellent band!

We booked Pop the Top for our wedding at the end of March. Joe was extremely fast with responses to our requests and we knew they’d put on a great show before we even met!
The guests loved the set list and everyone was on the dance floor all night.
Would highly recommend.

Amazing band!

Pop The Top played at our wedding and they were amazing from start to finish. The guys were professional, arranged pre-wedding meetings to ensure the right collection of music was played on the night. They even offered to play our first dance which just made our evening. They even accommodated a last minute change. On the actual eve they had the guests up and dancing, even those that chose not to dance were clearly enjoying the performance. Cannot recommended enough! Thank you guys! Look forward to seeing you perform again soon

Mrs Chapple

Highly recommend Pop The Top, they said they’d make sure they had everyone up and dancing and they did exactly that! The band also learnt our first dance which was incredible. Everyone said through the whole evening how amazing the band are and asked how we had heard about them. Thank you so so much we couldn’t have asked for anything more, we had the most amazing evening and it was thoroughly enjoyable.

Simply the best!

Top the Pop played at our wedding celebration and they were absolutely brilliant! Communicating with them in advance was really easy and straightforward. We had a couple of additional requests as part of our set up which they were more than happy to accommodate. The quality of their music was brilliant as well as their choice of songs! So many of our guests said how fab they were. Would highly recommend!!

Our dance floor was full all night long!

Music was a really important part of our big day - we wanted everyone to be on the dance floor from the first dance to the very end of the night. So we're delighted that we booked Pop the Top! They were amazing at reading the room and playing songs that worked perfectly with our pretty varied musical tastes. And it's not just us that thought they were great - loads of our guests have told us how much they enjoyed the band too! The guys were also really responsive, which was massively helpful in those stressful weeks before the wedding. Would highly recommend!

Highly recommend!

Such a great band, set up was easy and no stress, they sorted everything out. We had 2 songs we wanted them to play, which they were happy to learn. Music was great, we didn’t want to stop dancing. They played back to back epic songs and everyone was coming up to us, telling us how good the band were. Highly recommend!

Wow wow wow!

Wow, where to start!! Honestly these guys were AMAZING!! Joe, Harry and Ben created the best party for us and all of our friends and family on our wedding night. It really was the best set list, I don’t think there was a single song where the dance floor wasn’t full! We have had soo many comments from our wedding guests about how great the band was, lots of them have been saying it’s the best wedding band they’ve ever had! We totally agree, couldn’t have wished for better. To any brides and grooms reading this, book them in now!!
