Booking basics
Mobile bartenders book by the date, not the walk-in — popular Saturdays (especially May–October) go months out, so inquire early with your date, venue, guest count, and whether you want a full package or dry hire. Most will hold a date with a deposit and a signed agreement.

From the reviews
Collette and Top It Off were absolutely amazing! Collette frequently checked in about our needs, explained everything in detail, and was transparent about pricing, recommendations, and how the bar works.
Top It Off did a wonderful job at our wedding in August! They were willing to work with us on our signature drinks until they were exactly what we wanted them to be. They were very professional and flexible. They were more than willing to obtain NA drinks for our guests that don't drink as well.
Top It Off did an amazing job at our wedding! Colette was easy to communicate with and she provided all the different drinks we had requested beforehand. Nothing was missed! The bartenders were great, and I heard nothing but positive comments from our guests about their bar experience.

Booking Top It Off Liquid Catering for a wedding
Weddings come up for Top It Off Liquid Catering — confirmed on their own site, so they'll know the rhythm of the day: cocktail hour hits all at once, then the bar settles into a steady hum until the last dance. Two numbers get your quote right. First, the staffing math: the standard rule is one bartender per 50–75 guests — so a 150-guest wedding usually means two to three bartenders, and going thin here is the classic cocktail-hour line mistake. Second, drinks per guest: plan on roughly two drinks in the first hour and one per hour after; a dry-hire bartender can turn that into an exact shopping list for your headcount so nothing runs out and nothing goes back to the store.

Corporate events with Top It Off Liquid Catering
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at Top It Off Liquid Catering — holiday parties, launches, client mixers. For office events, three things are worth settling on the first call: whether they carry the liquor liability insurance your building or venue requires, whether they can run a mocktail or zero-proof menu alongside the bar, and how invoicing works if your company needs a W-9 and net-30 terms.
