22.08.25 wedding

This band were amazing. They were super professional, always on hand via email if you ever needed anything. They were later setting up as we overran with speeches but it didn’t matter, they still managed to introduce us in for our first dance as the right time. They were fun, got people involved and genuinely seemed to have a great time with us! Would highly recommend :)

Amazing band!

We love Pop the Top and all our guests did too.

We had the guys play three sets for you: acoustic at the ceremony, acoustic during the drinks and then band in the evening. They’re so talented and learned two new songs for us.

They really added to the atmosphere of the day and were great. Their lights set up makes it so fun, and even getting one of our guests to join in during a song was super fun! Would highly recommend to bring a great atmosphere to your wedding!
Thanks so much to Pop the Top!!

The perfect band for the perfect day

Do you want a band to rock your day?
Do you want brilliant professional people at your wedding?
Then look no further. The gents came all the way to Suffolk for our wedding this weekend and were nothing sort of amazing, turned up set up and got playing. Nothing was to much trouble, and they nailed out first song.
Honestly so good and even asked us what song we would like to close the night.
I want to have another party so I can have them again!! Thank you so much gents you rock!!!

Incredible Performance at our Wedding

Pop the Top gave an incredible performance at our wedding. They got the dancefloor jumping (we have some spectacular photos from during Belle of Belfast City) and even included some audience participation for the female part of Teenage Dirtbag!

Harry was very responsive during the booking process and in the lead up to the special day. They were keen to understand our musical interests and tailored a set list specially. We did not have the band play our first dance because we wanted a specific version, but they came in immediately after with high energy to keep everyone on their feet. The DJ playlist after completion of the sets was a perfect finale to the night. They specifically asked what we wanted as our final song.

I would highly recommend Pop the Top for your wedding.

Couldn't have had a better experience with Pop The Top

I've seen some of the guys in Pop The Top in other bands growing up, so I already knew they were great musicians when I booked them. Even so, when they performed at my wedding they still exceeded all expectations. I've never seen a wedding band keep the dance floor full for the entire night, but somehow they managed it. We had loads of compliments from guests, and they kindly learned our first dance, which made it extra special.

As well as performing great sets with all the energy you could hope for, their investment in equipment (lights and backing tracks in particular) gave them an edge over many other wedding bands I've seen.

Furthermore, in the lead up to the wedding, communication was completely stress free - with quick responses to all our questions. Really great value for money compared to other bands that quoted for us.

Incredible

Are Pop the Top the best wedding band around? We, along with all of our guests, certainly think so. They were absolutely fantastic and played such a huge role in making our wedding day unforgettable. So many of our guests have commented on how amazing they were, and we completely agree. Joe, the lead singer, has an incredible vocal range and truly blew us away with his performance. Every member of the band is super talented, and their energy and professionalism were second to none. They absolutely smashed our first dance and kept the dance floor packed all night long! If you're looking for a wedding band that will truly wow your guests, we cannot recommend Pop the Top enough!

This band are just fantastic! Not only are they extremely musically talented, they have a super eclectic range of songs they perform which gets everybody on the dance floor and singing along. Communication was brilliant and we were able to make the setlist so personal to us. The energy they brought to the room and wedding was just amazing!

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!!
