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
I used Top Shelf for for a Christmas Eve Party. We had about 80 people and hired one bar tender and two servers. The staff that came were professional and efficient, the party went seamlessly.
We used Top Shelf events for our daughters wedding on March 16, 2024. Jacob, Nick and staff did above and beyond service making the wedding extra special for everyone. We had a champagne wall that was exquisite!
We used Top Shelf Events for our wedding and I cannot recommend them enough! Jacob is the most responsive vendor I've ever worked with. We used a venue that allowed us to supply our own alcohol, and Jacob was fantastic as we worked out the logistics and had a million follow-up questions.
I honestly can’t say enough good things about Top Shelf Events! They were the alcohol vendors at our wedding on 10.4.2025 and when I say they blew it out of the water I’m not exaggerating! The drinks were amazing and the bartenders were even better!
Booking Top Shelf Events for a wedding
Weddings come up for Top Shelf Events — 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 Shelf Events
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at Top Shelf Events — 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.
