Booked for Wedding

We booked RFC to play two sets at our wedding reception - they were fantastic from start to finish. Ben was great at answering all of our queries prior to booking and after, and their performance on the day was brilliant, everyone loved it! Great guys and very professional. I would definitely recommend, and would have the band play at future events of ours! Thank you!

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.
