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've worked with Ariel and his team a few times now, and I've always had a great experience. As a wedding planner it can be hard to find reliable vendors, which is why I'm so grateful I found Top Shelf Tipsy! They arrive on time, get set up early, and their team is knowledgeable and professional.
I had an amazing experience with TopShelfTipsy!! Thank you to Ariel and Joe for great customer service and timeliness. We used this service for a birthday party and I booked with them very last minute, with only a week before the event and they kindly were able to honor every request. Thank you
Ariel is/ was very professional and accommodating to my needs. Amanda was ahhhmazing serving up drinks, kindness, and laughter! I will definitely use this service again!
I recently worked with TopShelfTipsy for my wedding in early June and they made the process easy from start to finish. Out of all of the mobile bar services I looked at, they had the nicest bar in my opinion. Ariel was very helpful when it came to figuring out how much alcohol I needed.
Booking TopShelfTipsy for a wedding
Weddings come up for TopShelfTipsy — 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 TopShelfTipsy
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at TopShelfTipsy — 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.
