Fantastic band. We had Oliver and his band play in our garden party and they were simply fantastic. Played to right music for the crowd, were extremely approachable and enjoyed mixing and chatting with the guest. Will be having these guys play again next summer.

Dan Sullivan22 Apr 2022
Our event was a small family party with around 50 people in attendance but we wanted to make it special as it was our first post-Covid get-together. The band definitely made it special!
I was a first-time user of Poptop so was a little nervous but Chris got in touch as soon as I'd booked the band and got some info about the event. Together we went over the set-list, our options, our plan for the way the night would run, and the band even helped out with a special request to play a song that meant a lot to my parents.
On the actual day, the band were on time, diligent in setting up, and professional at all times. Then when the time came, they rocked! Everybody commented on how good the band were, and having that live music gave the place such an atmosphere that everyone was up and dancing all night. The band were really friendly to our guests, even as the night wore on and a few of us were getting quite drunk!
The set-list was top drawer and the band didn't miss a beat - we couldn't recommend them highly enough and they were worth every penny. Several of my guests asked for their details so I have no doubt we'll be seeing them again!

The Ultimate Guide to Your Birmingham Wedding Soundtrack
In a city that gave the world everything from heavy metal to reggae and synth pop, you know that music matters. A live band at your wedding is about more than just filling the silence; it’s about creating a living, breathing atmosphere for the best day of your life. It's the energy, the shared moments on the dance floor, the feeling when the first chords of a song you both love ring out. That’s the magic you’re investing in.
Whether your theme is vintage glam, classic elegance, or cool Art Deco, the right band will tie it all together. They are the beating heart of your reception, and finding the perfect one will ensure your guests leave with sore feet and huge smiles.
Finding Your Stage: Matching a Band to Your Birmingham Venue
One of the best things about a Birmingham wedding is the sheer variety of venues on offer. You’re not stuck with one style. But your venue choice has a big impact on the kind of band that will work best. Let’s break it down.
Rustic Romance in a Converted Barn
There are some stunning converted barns in and around the Birmingham area, perfect for that rustic, boho, or vintage festival vibe. They look incredible, with their exposed beams and countryside charm, but they come with their own set of considerations.
- The Sound: Barns can have amazing acoustics thanks to all the wood, but their high ceilings can also make sound bounce around. An experienced band will know exactly how to fill the space without it becoming a wall of noise.
- The Look: A Mumford & Sons style folk band, with their waistcoats and acoustic instruments, will look right at home here. An upbeat pop and rock band can also be fantastic, bringing a high energy contrast to the rustic setting.
- The Power: It’s a slightly boring but vital question. Make sure the barn has enough power sockets in the right place for a band’s full setup. They’ll need several outlets for their PA, amps, and lighting.
Timeless Elegance in a Stately Home
If your dream is a classic wedding, a gorgeous stately home might be your venue of choice. These places are all about grandeur, history, and sophistication.
- The Rules: Stately homes often have stricter rules, especially when it comes to noise. Many will have sound limiters installed. This isn’t a problem for professionals! A good wedding band will be used to this and can often use an electronic drum kit and manage their levels perfectly to keep the party rocking without tripping the power.
- The Vibe: This is the perfect setting for a truly classic lineup. Think about a sophisticated soul and Motown band for the evening reception. For the drinks reception on the lawn, a string quartet or a stylish jazz trio would be sublime.
- The Logistics: Access can be tricky in historic buildings. Long corridors, flights of stairs, and protected flooring are all things a band needs to know about in advance so they can plan their load in.
Modern Love in a Contemporary Space
Birmingham has some incredible contemporary venues, from sleek city centre hotels to art galleries and modern event spaces. These are often brilliant blank canvases for your wedding.
- The Freedom: Modern venues are usually built with events in mind, which means they’re designed for performance. You’ll likely have great acoustics, plenty of power, and good access, giving you a huge amount of freedom with your band choice.
- The Style: This is where you can really match the band to a specific theme. Planning an Art Deco wedding? A swing or jazz band will bring that 1920s glamour to life. For a chic, modern theme, a high energy pop or rock covers band will feel right at home. You could even go for something completely different, like a tribute band or a high tech DJ live act with a saxophonist and percussionist.
- The Possibilities: With a contemporary space, the world is your oyster. A big band with a brass section? No problem. A rock band that wants to get loud? This is the place to do it.
Budgeting for the Beat: What to Expect in Brum
Right, let’s talk brass tacks. For a top quality, professional wedding band in Birmingham, you should budget for somewhere in the region of £1,100 to £2,000+. This price can vary depending on a few key things.
Unpacking the Costs
- Band Size: A solo performer or acoustic duo will be at the lower end of the scale, while a 6 piece band with male and female lead vocals will be at the higher end. More musicians means a bigger, fuller sound, but also more people to pay.
- Experience Level: A band that has been a mainstay of the Midlands wedding scene for a decade will have a higher price point than a band that’s just starting out. You're paying for their reliability and expertise.
- The Date: A Saturday in July is peak wedding season and will command a premium. If your wedding is on a Thursday in October, you may find bands have a little more flexibility on price.
Getting Your Quote Without the Wait
The old way of finding a band involved sending out dozens of enquiries and then waiting… and waiting. Your time is valuable, especially when you’re planning a wedding. That’s why at Poptop, we show you instant, all inclusive prices. Our suppliers and support team are quick to respond, which means your planning process is smooth and completely hassle free. You can genuinely plan your party in minutes, not days.
Defining Your Day: Vintage, Classic, or Art Deco Vibes
Now for the really creative bit. Your wedding theme is your chance to show off your personality as a couple, and the music is the most powerful way to bring that theme to life.
Choosing Your Era's Soundtrack
Your vision for your event is what matters most. Our suppliers excel at tailoring their services to you, and this is especially true when it comes to music. This flexibility ensures the final result is a personal experience that perfectly matches your expectations.
- For a Vintage Theme: Think about the 50s and 60s. A rock ‘n’ roll band playing hits from Chuck Berry and Elvis will get everyone jiving. Or, for a slightly later vintage vibe, a soul and Motown band is an absolute crowd pleaser.
- For a Classic Theme: A classic theme calls for timeless music. A great pop covers band that plays beloved hits from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and today is a perfect choice. They have a wide appeal that will get guests of all ages on the dance floor.
- For an Art Deco Theme: This is your excuse to go full glam. A swing or jazz band playing music from the 1920s and 30s is the ultimate choice. They’ll bring a level of style and sophistication that perfectly captures the Great Gatsby spirit.
The Hunt for the Perfect Band: A Stress-Free Approach
Okay, you know your venue, your budget, and your vibe. It's time to find the band that ticks all your boxes.
Your All-Access Pass to Top Talent
You don’t need to be an event planning pro to use Poptop. Our platform is designed to be incredibly simple.

The Essential Pre-Booking Checks
Once you’ve got a shortlist, it’s time to vet them properly. Here’s what to look out for on their Poptop profile:
- Video is King: Watch their videos. Not just the slickly produced promo, but look for live footage from a real wedding if they have it. This shows you their real energy and stage presence.
- Repertoire Review: Scour their song list. Does it get you excited? Does it fit your theme? It's the best guide to their musical identity.
- Real Testimonials: Read the reviews from other couples. This is priceless, honest feedback that tells you what they’re really like to work with.
The Final Checklist: Key Questions for Your Shortlist
You’re almost there! You’ve found a band you love. Before you commit, it’s wise to get clarity on a few final details. Knowing exactly what’s happening and when will help you feel confident and relaxed, allowing you to simply look forward to your celebration.
Here are the key questions to ask:
- Can we have some input on the setlist?
- Is all your equipment, like the PA system and lighting, included in the price?
- What’s your ideal timeline for arrival, setup, and performance?
- Do you provide music during your breaks?
- Are you able to learn our first dance song?
Getting this all confirmed in writing is so important. When you book on Poptop, you can trust that your event is in safe hands. We guarantee a reliable service by carefully vetting all our suppliers. And with our money back guarantee, you can book with total confidence, knowing your investment is secure.
