Brilliant DJ - would highly recommend
Fitz DJ'ed for our works Christmas Party, which was a huge success. He was friendly and very accommodating, played all of our song requests and got everyone on the dancefloor to make the party go so well. Thank you Fitz!
I'm impressed and he was good at DJ
I'm impressed and he was good at DJ. I've told him what music I want and he's respectful for my 60th Birthday. Friendly and polite. I would recommend again. Thank you to Ian and well done.

I had a great experience with Poptop
I had a great experience with Poptop. I hired a great DJ and Pootop made the process very easy. I worked use the service again and highly recommend it to anyone planning a party.
Dave out DJ was fantastic
Dave out DJ was fantastic. So professional and friendly. He asked us what we wanted and he delivered exactly. We cannot rate him enough. He made our party a great success.
Wedding DJ
John and his wife were an absolutely superb DJ team and did an amazing job for our wedding. They were incredibly friendly and got on well with all our guests - we had karaoke as part of our booking, and once it started, our guests couldn't stop going up for more songs! They were super accommodating for our song selection, and managed to play almost all our songs on our playlist - even with all the karaoke requests! Overall - a perfect experience, would 100% recommend.
DJ - great experience
Wide range of DJ's to choose from. Website is easy to use.
Great experience from search to booking.
AVOID!! Franklin Crozier- Davies
We hired Franklin for our wedding months in advance. We paid a deposit, Franklin sent us the final invoice which stated to be paid on the day, after set up but before performance. Franklin then chased up payment so I referred him to this note on the invoice, so he agreed we would pay him the balance on the day. I told him my worst nightmare would be the DJ not turning up on our wedding.
So the night before the wedding 6pm/7pm Franklin texts me to say he cannot attend! I could not believe it! The night before the wedding! We were having a twilight wedding so the party was the main part of the wedding so obviously the DJ was one of the main vendors!
Luckily I sorted a new DJ with such short notice and our wedding day and night was a dream come true, no thanks to Franklin putting a spanner in the works, but our last min DJ was amazing and made our night!
Cheese party
Poor communication prior to event. Dj was reluctant to follow our schedule. He seemed to be on his own agenda and kept procrastinating before playing the songs we had requested. He wouldn't start the karaoke before 9.30 and his wife helped herself to copious amounts if cheese from our buffet!
Sowden Sounds excellent DJ and Karaoke
We hired Sowden Sounds as a DJ for our college community event and he was absolutely brilliant. The students had a fantastic time, he was extremely professional in the space and he created a fantastic buzz - he will definitely be coming back next year to our event. i would definitely recommend.
Booked DJ Tony H to play at our wedding…
Booked DJ Tony H to play at our wedding on the 27th Sept 2025 only to be informed today 25th Sept
2 days before my wedding he had to cancel the booking to attend basically a more important event that he had apparently just found out about.
Unreliable and unprofessional basically.

Dj DK ONESIX was absolutely amazing he was efficient, kept the children entertained for hours and even the adults. He played good songs and had the whole crowd on the dance floor. Guests throughly enjoyed themselves and he was a great asset to our surprise party. Would highly recommend him and would certainly book again :)
Great Service
We needed to find a last minute DJ when the one I booked elsewhere cancelled a few weeks before our event. I wasn't sure where to start looking for a replacement and then stumbled upon this Website, which was a real lifesaver! The Website was easy to navigate. You can quickly find DJs/musicians in your area and see examples of their work. Pricing was clear. It was easy to book the artist of your choice and e-mail receipt and contact details were sent after the booking was accepted. I was extremely satisfied with the whole process and the DJ we booked was fab and helped make our event really special.
Fantastic Platform for Booking All Your Event Needs
An excellent platform for booking everything you need for your event! We found an amazing DJ for our wedding at a very reasonable price. I was also pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of services available - everything from entertainment to event essentials is easy to find and book.
DJ Lee Smart - Incredible
We're just back from honeymoon and one of the first things we wanted to do was add a review for this amazing DJ that attended our wedding. The music selection was absolutely perfect and he made all the announcements we needed, and kept everything going so well. The party was awesome and my wife and I highly recommend people to book DJ Lee Smart. We will book him again for sure if we arrange another event in the future. Thanks Lee, great job!
DJ Review
Very happy with the DJ. The DJ played the music that the majority of people enjoyed and when requested changed the music to match the requests. Everyone enjoyed the night.
DJ & Magician both were magic
DJ Tony & Magician Celyn - both magic! Tony and Celyn were exceptional and made our event so entertaining! Highly recommended
Wedding Do
Franklin Crozier was our DJ for our wedding event. The music was very well organised to suit the mood.
Played my requested tunes.
An absolutely perfect set, his rustic DJ box fit right in to our room/theme.
Would definitely use him again.
We wish him much success on his career.
Saved the day in finding wedding DJ
I was finding it hard to locate a DJ for our wedding reception. Poptop saved the day with a really easy process to find the right person for our special day. Great support and service with reassurance of protection.
