You may have noticed the same musicians in all of our photos. Every time you book with Top Shelf, you work directly with the same lineup of versatile performers. Many competitors build your entertainment from a wide, generic pool of available musicians who may be playing together for the first time at your event. Not us. By always providing the same trusted performers, Top Shelf delivers an individualized, all-inclusive show far exceeding that of a typical band.
We understand that your event is special and unique, and we fully cater every aspect of the night to your crowd. You will feel confident knowing the same dedicated professionals who are with you throughout the early stages of planning will still be working hard through the last song of the night. In addition to providing an unforgettable entertainment experience, we are a knowledgeable customer service team of booking professionals prepared to help with your event's logistical details. As an internally owned organization, we are committed to delivering exceptional, personalized service to each client relationship, every step of the way.

I can’t recommend Top Shelf enough. They were preferred vendors with my venue and our coordinator thought they would be the best fit for the party atmosphere I wanted. I was still initially hesitant making such a big decision without seeing them live first, but trusting everyone was the best thing we did. The booking process was easy and straightforward. Olivia worked with us for months getting ready… but the party was what made the night. They’re one of the best bands I’ve ever seen anywhere… and by far the best at any wedding I’ve ever been to. So I’m happy it was mine.

We had the incredible fortune of having Top Shelf at our wedding, and it would be a mistake for you to choose anyone else. From start to finish, the entire experience was effortless, making our planning and working with them a breeze. One of the standouts was the amazing medleys and mashups they created. They seamlessly blended all our favorite songs, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long! Their show is truly unmatched by any other wedding band I’ve ever seen. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the night was.
We also want to give a special shoutout to Olivia, who handled all the emcee work… She was amazing during the weeks leading up to the wedding and kept everything flowing perfectly throughout the night!
I can’t recommend Top Shelf enough. They made our wedding day a celebration we’ll cherish forever!

We recently had the pleasure of having Top Shelf at our wedding, and we cannot express enough how incredible they were! From the moment we contacted them, the entire process was seamless and stress-free. Their professionalism and attention to detail made planning our wedding music a breeze, and we felt supported every step of the way...plus, their performance was nothing short of spectacular. The musicians were extraordinarily talented, and their ability to read the crowd and adapt their setlist on the fly was amazing, ensuring that everyone, from our grandparents to our college friends, was on the dance floor having the time of their lives.
The energy they brought to our reception was electric, and we have received countless compliments from our guests about how amazing the music was. It truly set the tone for a night filled with love and celebration.
If you’re looking for a wedding band that will not only meet but exceed your expectations, Top Shelf is your band. They made our special day even more unforgettable, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone wanting to create an extraordinary musical experience.

BOOK THIS BAND. We had Top Shelf for our wedding reception and it was epic. Jonathan was so helpful and communicative from a planning perspective prior to the event. The reception itself was SO fun and the band sounded amazing. I had so many people come up to me to say it was the best band they had seen at a wedding. The song list, energy and vocals were fantastic, and we did not leave the dance floor the entire night. Seriously, they made the entire evening!!!!

I hired top shelf for my wedding and oh my god I am SO happy that I did!!
From the first consultation to the day of, they were responsive, organized, and made me feel completely at ease.
They even listed to our vows during the ceremony and when my (now) husband mentioned a song I played for him when we started dating… they played it as we were walking back down the aisle!! It was absolutely amazing.
Then the reception was a HIT!! Everyone was dancing all night and the band was soooooo good.
Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special - we love you guys!!

TOP SHELF 5280 was the BEST INVESTMENT ever when it came to planning the wedding. Overall they were so easy to work with and flexible to accommodate for all music genres, favorite songs and special dances. They had the widest selection of music to choose from when evaluating 7 different band options, and even learned a few new songs for the special occasion.
They operated with extreme professionalism, but also shared their own experience from numerous weddings over the years to make it a truly special evening for everyone in attendance.
The investment is well worth it to create the very wedding you dream of having. They even provided musicians for the Ceremony, Cocktail Hour and the entire Band for the Reception event which made it simple to also only have to work with one musical vendor.
Their talent and experience exceeds every expectation you could ever have, and will make your wedding day memorable for everyone who attends. Even weeks later our friends and family are still reaching out in awe of this amazing group of individuals and the band overall. Comments to this day have been "Best Wedding Band Ever", "We have never been to a wedding as fun and memorable as this one", "I would love to get married all over again just to have this band play for us".
Your wedding day should be all that you dream of, and this band will no doubt make all your dreams come true. Don't miss the opportunity to have Top Shelf 5280 make your wedding the BEST DAY EVER!!

We partnered with Top Shelf 5280 for our wedding, and they are absolutely phenomenal. They are extremely talented musicians and our guests were dancing all night. They have an immense repertoire and can perform songs from any genre/decade. They're great at reading the room to keep the dance floor alive. Moreover, having Olivia as our MC was great. She along with the entire team made sure transitions were seamless and the flow of the wedding felt great even though we had a few curve balls. So many guests commented on how great Top Shelf was, and I couldn't agree more!

I found Top Shelf because the band I had initially hoped for was already booked. I was a little scared to hire a band I hadn't personally seen, but I trusted the referral band and the reviews and it was the best thing that could have possibly happened for us. The booking and planning team was excellent and brought up potential issues and ideas we had never even thought of, helped us finalize a timeline that felt extremely natural, and were honestly one of the best bands I've ever seen. It's impossible to do them justice in a short review, but our friends talk about our wedding more than festivals we've been to. They absolutely made the night and I can't believe how big of a difference a seemingly small decision change made for our wedding. I can't recommend them enough.

I would give them 100 stars if I could. They were so wonderful. They created a playlist that was better than anything I could have made on my own. They were SO FUN! The band had some incredible musicians and the singers were so great and talented. They had the most creative mashups and really kept the party going all night long. We got the most compliments about our band following the wedding.

I knew this Band was going to be good from watching all the videos and talking with the representatives. If you love a band that can LITERALLY play all genres, and transition into each different type unnoticeably...UNREAL. They not only exceed my expecting beyond my imagination but I can definitely give them so much credit for making my wedding the most ELECTRIC wedding I've ever seen. Not a single person left the dance floor that night. 10 out 5 Stars

This band was amazing. I loved their high energy music. I didn’t realize how much more fun a live band could be at a wedding until they blew me away. Great selection of music, hardly any breaks, I have no idea how they do it. Great quality, so much fun!
