We hired a drinks/canapé waiter through Poptop for a private party and had a great experience. Nicolas was brilliant! He was very professional, friendly and proactive. We would highly recommend Nicolas for any event. Thank you!
We booked two servers through PopTop for an evening wedding reception (50 guests) at home, 31/08/24.
They were brilliant from start to finish!
Both arrived promptly and got into their work immediately, clearly very experienced. The gentleman (Soma) set up a bar area quickly and efficiently. He was friendly, helpful and courteous , welcoming the guests with a smile and a drink, clearing up, replenishing drinks and ice promptly. The lady (Nilufa) plated the buffet food, presenting everything beautifully from the fridge to the table, ensuring everything required was there for the guests. She was very vigilant for example she reacted immediately when a guest dropped a couple of wine glasses, promptly sweeping up. She worked the room checking everyone had what they wanted, and was also extremely tidy and conscientious. When they left the waste was bagged, and recycling separated and in the recycling bins. I can’t rate them both too highly and they contributed to the success of the party.. I was really impressed with the whole service provided, 10/10!
The staffs are very professional and well experienced I am glad they were part of my wedding they’re very helpful
Nilvana was wonderful !! Very helpful and organised
Had a great evening, showed up right on time very good with our guests and everyone was well taken care of
great service. highly recommend
Nylvanna and Amala. What can I say. They were punctual and once they arrived they almost took over the whole party flawlessly. They helped prep food, lay tables, served food and drinks, cleaned up spotlessly. They were so professional and brilliant. Will definitely be happy to hire and recommend it. Our garden party and bbq was even more enjoyable because we as hosts could actually socialise. 5 stars all round
Great way of simplifying finding the right people to make thing smooth
We had a great experience with Activ8 Live. Their communication was prompt, clear and helpful. The server showed up a few minutes early and got familiar with my kitchen. She took care of all the food prep / serving and cleaning up. I was able to really enjoy the event at our house because of all of her help
Sara was great! She was super helpful and professional! 100% recommended.
Great service, helped us have a memorable night! Thank you
Prompt arrival and Claudia carried out the work professionally and quietly. Thank you!
3 out of 4 staff turned up but, they were all brilliant
5 ⭐️ I am happy with the service provided and the client too
Gina was extremely professional and friendly. She really made the difference helping us in creating the best event we could possibly have.
Agnes was professional and would book her again. The experience with Poptop was seamless. Fab service
Excellent service by the waiters and Mark, who was always available when needed.
The three members of staff from Active8 were amazing I could have more happy with the service and many of my guest complement them. They met my needs perfectly!
Nicolás was very friendly and helped with everything we asked him.
The two members of staff provided were lovely, efficient, hardworking, presentable and perfectly on time. It was great working with them and the communication with the supplier was really good.
We'll use them again when the occasion arises.
Many thanks for your help.

The waiters we had on our day were amazing , they did the job very well. Not only myself but my guests complimented them also.
It was easy to use poptop. Very reliable
Soma was a delight — pleasant, professional in demeanour and appearance, prompt, hard working, took initiative… I can’t think of enough good things to say about him.
I’m very happy with my Active8 staffing experience!
Great people and professional service
Thankyou for a great service! The waiter arrived early and was polite and very helpful throughout the evening...I would certainly recommend if you are planning a party/event at an affordable cost.
Fantastic experience - Gina was highly professional and made the whole evening run smoothly
Excellent experience with Activ8 Live. Communication was easy and efficient. Marta was incredibly professional, great with guests and a wonderful addition to our party!
Excellent and the young lady sent was great. Thank you.
Staff were lovely and polite. We believe they could have been more proactive.
2 out of the three staff were late, and this kind of disrupted everything further down the line. One of the waitresses asked if she can drink on the job, which is a huge reflection, I spoke with Mark of Active8 but then received no further communication from him as to what transpired with respect to the short comings of the staff. One young man Gbenga was super impressive and worked amazingly apart from him I would say the service fell monumentally short of expectations...
The staff were professional and friendly.
Even though they arrived a bit late due to transport issues, they took over seamlessly and really looked after our guests.
This is my first time using Activ8 Live and I have been impressed with the communication level from the start. Value for money and they have sent me 4 amazing staffs that help me during 140 wedding service. Staffs were polite, easy to work with and nicely dressed. Thank you very much and highly recommended!
I booked 2staff. 1 member if staff arrived late but did not let me know and started to help the cocktail bar staff. The cocktail bar staff were booked independently. The 2nd member of staff called me and said thet she was running late due to traffic and arrived ar 7:45. Instead of 6:30pm. Then the 1st staff did a swap and not told anyone. All it would have taken Is for them to call me and introduce themselves and ask what we needed help with. It was totally disorganised! I found them on phones in utility room. I dont mind at all but i booked and paid for help at a special event. I am very disappointed with the service.
Communicating with Active 8 was very easy, but I expected more.
Firstly, my server did not dress professionally, even though I requested and expected them to be wearing a shirt and trousers.
There was a miscommunication on the day which lead to the server being let into the property 10 minutes later than planned. I apologised for this but I felt like she had quite a negative attitude.
She also failed to follow basic requests. For instance, I asked for the champagne flutes to be left in the kitchen. However, she put them on the dining table, so I had to collect the glasses back after the dinner so that we could use them for the toast. I also asked for my father to be served first as it was his birthday dinner (he was the head of the table). However, she proceed to serve two other people first and I had to remind her once again to please remember to serve my dad first. Additionally, when dessert was being served I advised her that everyone on the right hand side was having one dessert and that the left hand side were having the other dessert (as the guests had ordered desserts beforehand) yet she proceeded to serve the desserts incorrectly so I had to swap some desserts, which was embarrassing and I stepped in to help serve because I was frustrated with the errors.
Responsiveness of the supplier was brilliant and all of my questions were always answered
Unfortunately we did not have a great experience at our wedding with the actual staff
Attended late which ok it can happen but on top of not being dress inappropriately wasn't really the one tbh crush shirts not a proper white shirt although that wasn't both of them still not what people pay their money for so if its a very fancy event I wouldn't take the risk in booking (wedding) ect.
