Booked for Wedding

You have no reason to believe me or trust me..for I am just a name. But if you do not book these guys you are missing out.. the passion..the fun..the atmosphere these all had was unlike I could have dreamed of....every song belted out as though in front of thousands.. every melody hit with precision...I cannot tell you how much everyone...and I mean everyone at my wedding talked and raved about the music, style professionalism but most of all the quality of their set. They joined us for dinner, endured our speeches then performed to the very highest standard and blew our socks off.. so...thank you for an amazing night to Paulo Jeremey Chris .eaun . And not forgetting rhona too. Thank you for everything. Thank you for being a part of everything. Thank you for making our night so so special. Amazing. Simply amazing. Good luck with everything.

Can a rock band in Essex provide PLI & PAT certificates for my venue?

Most rock bands must submit PLI & PAT certificates before performing at an event to guarantee safety. Our suppliers prioritise safety by ensuring that all equipment is properly maintained and tested before use. Rock bands will provide a PAT test certificate if required. While it is normal to be concerned about the safety of your guests and the success of your event, you will need to inform the rock band to provide a PLI certificate before your event. You can confirm with the supplier during the booking process.

Should I book a rock band in advance?

In most cases, Essex rock bands demand that event organisers place their bookings days before the event to prevent disappointment. Booking in advance will help the band prepare the necessary things that will be needed to ensure a smooth event experience. You will need to secure the availability of our suppliers at least a day before your event if you want to hire a rock band on Poptop. Some of our suppliers require event owners to book their services two days before the event date.
