Booked with Poptop

We booked our wedding photographer fairly last-minute but were so happy with the service from Instinctive Images. Amjid was very thorough when we spoke to him beforehand, and made sure to capture our specifically requested images on the day. He was punctual, friendly and professional, and we love the photos! Great to have them both digitally (with the option to allow downloads for family and friends) and on a beautifully presented USB. We appreciated the peace of mind from booking through Poptop, in case of supplier illness on the day, for example. Thank you!

Excellent communication from Emma, lots of flexibility for our specific situation, last minute booking was accommodated, they were punctual, and it was a high-quality gazebo that all our guests loved. Will definitely use again.

We booked last minute and chose Chef Lucas Catering Services. Everything went smoothly from the outset. As soon as the booking was confirmed I phoned up and arranged everything for the day of the event. When they arrived they set up quickly and fed the guests. Awesome gyros, much needed after a day’s drinking. The deep fried haloumi was spectacular. After they left you wouldn’t have known they had been as everything was tidied up. Would definitely use Poptop and Chef Lucas Catering Services again.

From start to finish, the whole process with Poptop and Super Silent Discos was seamless, from the quote, to ordering (although I did forget to let the others who quoted know that we didn't need them - please make sure you do, so that they can reallocate resources) to delivery and Vicky was incredibly responsive and helpful to the couple of questions I did have. Upon opening the crate of goodies we were a little worried we wouldn't be able to get it all set up, but the instructions are super clear and we managed to check off everything (again - make sure you do this as soon as the kit arrives so that in the unlikely event of something being missing / not working there's time to get it replaced). All of our kit worked first time out of the box and the event was a MASSIVE hit with the girls. We'd expected the silent disco element to last between 30-45 minutes out of the three hours they were here, in the end about 2 hours was on the silent disco, we barely needed to lift a finger as they were having such a blast. Also the range on these things was incredible - we could even get a signal two floors up in the house which was not expected - would thoroughly recommend and will definitely be using again - now to re-pack all the stuff and get it sent back!

Hard to find the right words to say how amazing Mica was at my 60th birthday. My mum passed away at the end of last year and I didn't really want to celebrate my milestone birthday but was encouraged by family to go ahead, that's when I decided to forgo a DJ and have a live singer instead, best decision I made. The booking was last minute and I had 3 choices but something drew me to Mica and even though she had only 3 reviews I placed the booking. Thought out the process her communication was great. The night was just what I wanted and Mica was a big part of it. Everyone loved her and couldn't stop praising her. Not just a very talented singer but a beautiful person inside and out...Thank you Mica from the bottom of my heart for making my 60th bithday very special xox

This crepe van and owners were wonderful! Very quick and responsive and worked on a large job for us, extremely last minute and pulled it off, making delicious crepes for our production which the whole crew loved! Good filling options, great communication, friendly team, good prices and were extremely reliable! Would highly recommend x

It was a great pleasure dealing with Egemen and having him take our photos and videos at my special event. He was very accommodating and understanding with our last minute requests of what we liked. Delivery of our photos and videos was a quick turn around! They were amazing! Highly recommend him. Thank you!

I needed a very last minute photobooth for a work event, found the website really easy to use and think it's a great idea suppliers can pick up your request and contact you if they're free - I found a company and they were really great and managed to save the day! :)

Booked with Poptop

Was desperate for a DJ due to a last minute party happening and used Poptop to find me what I needed. The service was quick, easy and reliable. The DJ on the night wasn’t who I initially thought I was getting BUT that didn’t matter as the DJ I got was brilliant. A really nice guy who set up quick, played great music and got the party going. I’d easily recommend this company to anyone. Dan

The Last-Minute FAQ

How can I book a supplier?
Simply enter your event date, location, and details into our search bar to explore our curated list of event services. With Poptop, you see live pricing and real-time availability, meaning you can lock in your booking instantly without waiting around for email quotes.
Do suppliers charge extra for last-minute bookings?
No. We enforce fair and transparent pricing across our platform. There are no hidden "last-minute penalties" or "wedding taxes". The instant price you see is the price you pay. (Keep in mind that suppliers do set their own rates, so prices might naturally be a little higher if you are booking on a universally high-demand date, like a Saturday in December or a Bank Holiday).
How can I communicate with the supplier?

Booking Protection

Book with peace of mind and benefit from booking protection and money-back guarantee.

Curated suppliers

All Poptop’s suppliers are rigorously vetted and approved by our team of party experts, ensuring you book the very best.

Your Deposit is Secure

In the rare event of a supplier cancellation, we instantly process your deposit refund, and our team will work to find you a great replacement.

Flexible Payment Terms

You pay the final balance directly to the supplier (often after the event) on a schedule you agree with them. You stay in control of your cash.

We've Got Your Back

Your deposit is the only payment required to secure your booking. We hold it safely in a secure escrow account.

If you need to ask a quick question before committing, you can request a call with the supplier directly through the platform. Once you are ready and pay your deposit, the supplier confirms the booking, and we immediately exchange your contact details so you can sort out the final logistics together.
How much do I need to pay today?
To secure your supplier immediately, you only need to pay a deposit through our secure platform (typically around 25%). The remaining balance is paid directly to the supplier closer to the event date, keeping you in control of your cash flow.
What happens if the supplier doesn't respond to my booking request in time?
Because you are booking last-minute, time is of the essence. Our suppliers are expected to respond rapidly. If for any reason a supplier cannot fulfill the booking or doesn't respond, our dedicated support team will immediately step in to help you find an alternative or process a full refund of your deposit.
Can caterers still accommodate dietary requirements at short notice?
Caterers and street food vans are well-equipped to handle vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free requests, even with just a few days' notice. Once you book, simply message the supplier your exact guest requirements so they can prep accordingly.
