We used Top Shelf Events for a 45th birthday party. It was just a small get together of 10 people, but having Jayden as our bartender made it a perfect party that wouldn’t have been possible without her. Jayden was professional, knowledgeable, and the cocktails were amazing. I would highly recommend Top Shelf Events for your next party. I will definitely use them again in the future.

This is our first time using Top
Shelf, and we’re so thankful for the service we received! We had a game going throughout the night that involved Lyn playing a part in it, and she was amazing! Our guests enjoyed their drinks (maybe a little too much), and Lyn was so supportive and kind. Also want to thank Jacob as well for answering my many, many questions along the way as well. Highly recommended!!

We had such a great experience with Top Shelf for our wedding!! Jacob was fantastic to work with throughout the planning process, and communication was great leading up to the big day. Mercedes and Jack were amazing bartenders and took such good care of our guests! We had multiple guests tell us how much they loved that they remembered their drink orders when they came back up to the bar. Such a thoughtful touch!! We’re so glad we chose Top Shelf and would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or event!

Top Shelf Events was a lifesaver for our fundraising festival! Jacob and his team stepped in on very short notice and did an outstanding job. They were professional, courteous, prompt, and took the time to fully understand our expectations and policies. Their bartenders handled ID checks responsibly, served guests efficiently, and represented our organization with the highest level of professionalism. We truly appreciated their partnership and flexibility, and we would highly recommend Top Shelf Events for any event that requires reliable, professional bartending services. Cheers! 🍻

We used top shelf events servers to clear our wedding guests plates during dinner and refill water carafes on the tables. So happy we used them! They helped our wedding run smoothly and during the planning process Jacob responded right away to all of my questions! Definitely recommend using them for your wedding or any other event!
