Michael Ward28 Jun 2021

Booked for Wedding

Poptop helped find an available artist after our original booking was unable to do it, always replying to my emails. Ben did a great job at our wedding. With the weather being nice, he mingled outside with our guests and helped keep them entertained for the time he was there. Plenty of people had their pictures done and I would definitely recommend him.

Amazing service from start to finish. Dave interacted with all the guests and everyone was over the moon with their pictures. Dave didn't leave anyone behind and even stayed a longer to make sure that everyone had a picture. Can't fault him at all, would definitely recommend. The perfect addition to our party!
