I work in the wedding industry and I have worked with Top Shelf many times over the years. I knew I wanted to hire them for my wedding before I was engaged, it was always a given! I didn't even contact other bartending companies. Top Shelf has ...
an amazing reputation in the KC wedding industry. They are professional and very experienced. There's no one else I'd trust more!
Their prices are really reasonable and the entire process is easy and straightforward. They help with selecting the alcohol and creating the menu. We did a full bar and we added on a signature drink. They had lots of options for fun signature drinks.
We loved both of our bartenders and our guests did too! Everything related to bartending ran so smoothly and we were beyond happy with their service. We highly recommend Top Shelf!! Hire them for your event, you won't regret it!!

ervices that we wanted for my daughter’s wedding. Erin provided great counsel, was flexible to meet our specific needs, and the Top Shelf team were friendly, efficient, and trustworthy. I am so happy, we didn’t try to DIY with our wedding beverages. Top Shelf helped us to be totally present at our daughter’s wedding and not be concerned with anything but celebrating a very special occasion.
Top Shelf was so easy to work with. They put together a personalized plan for us which included two signature drinks. All of our guests complimented how nice and fun the bartenders were which we were thrilled about. At the end of the reception,...

e provided an updated estimate each time. Their estimation was almost spot-on, they really are experts at this! The bartenders on the day-of were professional and efficient. They provided two in-door bartenders and an outdoor bartender which was so helpful with our venue set-up. Overall, we had an amazing experience with Top Shelf and would HIGHLY recommend them.
We had a great experience with Top Shelf for our wedding! The cool thing about them is they own a liquor store and provide bartending services. We compared options of going through a local liquor store for delivery and hiring separate bartender...
s, and found Top shelf to be very reasonable in pricing. It was worth it for us to go through them to handle everything from the alcohol, cups/garnishes, and bartending!

s or questions and they were so patient and helpful. They never made me feel like I was asking too much and offered solutions to problems I hadn't even thought of. They were also so great to work with on our specialty drink. We got to pick a few options to taste test and decide on our favorite. My husband loved being able to name the drink and create a poster for our guests.
At the reception, they were so professional and so helpful. We got a lot of great compliments on our bartenders service and we were so impressed. Overall such a great team to work with!
We used Top Shelf Bartending for our wedding reception in March 2023 and they did a fantastic job at a great price! They worked with us to create a menu of speciality cocktails as well as a selection of beer, wine, liquor, and mixers...and the...
y were even accommodating when I made a last minute change to the menu! Our speciality drinks were awesome (sangria, old fashion, bee's knees, and port light) and our guests raved about the service. We also also appreciated the personalized service we received as we planned out the various aspects for our event's beverage service. On the day of the event the bartenders were awesome and our guests were well cared for and always hydrated. The pricing is hard to beat. The ease of having them provide everything while also not charging you for unused product is a huge benefit to the budget. They are professional from start to finish and we didn't need to worry about anything! We highly recommend Top Shelf Bartending!
We hosted a retirement party and decided to hire Top Shelf to bartend the event. Best decision! They are so professional, handled all the drinks after an in-depth consultation and even made recommendations for us so we could focus on enjoying...
our night. Kimberly was SO awesome! She kept a watchful eye on Vern (the guest of honor) and I all night and never let our cups run dry. She brought Vern’s drink of choice and water to him as his sat down with food. She gave us helpful tips with setting up the food and games. She helped keep things running smooth even outside of serving drinks. We had such a great time and she was a ROCK STAR!!

g your wedding (you can bring your own alcohol or buy it from them). We decided to buy everything from them, they have a long selection of beer, wine, and spirits and are open to finding other things for you if you want to. Their prices are good too and we even got a refund because we didn't consume everything.
The service of Darcie on the wedding day was outstanding. She was very kind and helpful to us and our guests.
Thank you!
They were very flexible in determining our drinks menu with us and helped us figure out what we needed and in what quantities. The bartender we had did a great job keeping everyone happy!

Hi Annie,
Thank you for your review and it was truly a pleasure serving you and your guests!
Top shelf was a preferred vendor by our venue and I totally understand why. Everything we needed, they were a step ahead. Absolutely amazing. And they would come up and make sure I was happy throughout the night and really made everything worry...

Top Shelf did an amazing job for my wedding at the Rhapsody back in November! They were really great to work with leading up to the wedding. Responsive, professional, human, and very kind and worked with us. The night of the wedding, our barten...
der was wonderful! We had so many compliments from guests that the bartending service was amazing. I feel bad - I sat down to eat at the reception and I hadn't even thought to get alcohol yet, and some lady I didn't recognized asked if I wanted anything to drink, and I think I just asked for a water. I was slightly confused that some rando was asking what I wanted to drink, but I later realized it was the bartender!! That's on ME for not noticing or introducing myself before that! She was attentive all night and was very quick and efficient. Unfortunately our cake topper had taken a tumble and shattered everywhere, and we ended up putting the parts back on top the cake. She thought it was so funny, took a picture, and made it a point to find me before I left to send me the picture! She was so sweet, funny, and a great person for the crowd we had. Thank you Top Shelf for making our night so fun!!!
Such an awesome bartending service! Very friendly workers, and totally fair prices.
Top Shelf was one of the highly recommended vendors from our wedding venue and I completely understand why. We received SO MANY comments from our wedding guests about how great our bartenders are, I have officially lost count. They were so gr...
eat with all of our guests and made every interaction fun. They even helped out with unrelated things throughout the night. When our ring bearer (he's 3) decided he didn't want to stand in line to walk down the aisle, they bribed him with a cookie!
When my mom needed help loading gifts into her car, they helped her load a cart and wheel it out to the parking lot.
They even remembered our guests' drink orders and had the drinks ready as guests approached the bar. They did so much to ensure the entire reception - not just the bar services - went smoothly, and that was so appreciated.
When my husband and I started planning our wedding, we knew we had two primary goals for the reception: 1 - we wanted to people to dance, and 2 - we wanted and open bar. I spent months trying to price out alcohol on my own and always ended up feeling like I wouldn't be able to get what I wanted within my budget. Top Shelf helped me better plan for the right number of people so that I could get the bar choices I wanted and stay within my budget. I can't recommend them enough; they truly helped make our reception fun and memorable.

Wow, you made our day Jenna! Thank you so much for such a heartfelt review of our team. We are elated to hear you had such an amazing experience! Sounds like our team nailed it and we couldn’t be prouder. We wish you both the very best!
This was the vendor we needed to use for our venue and they were great to work with. The packages are great and the service was wonderful.
My husband & I got married 10/16/2021 & hired Top Shelf for our alcohol & bartending as our venue let us bring whoever we wanted in. They did such a great job on our wedding night! My husband & I were able to go to Top Shelf prior to our weddin...
g to do a tasting for signature cocktails & I am so glad that we did - they were amazing!! It was such a great experience & we were able to talk through all wedding logistics. We were insistent that we were going to have a party group who liked to drink & Top Shelf provided the perfect amount of alcohol where we never ran out but pretty much used all of it! I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for super friendly bartenders, awesome drink options, and the ability to bring in your own alcohol!
Excellent service! We ran out of beer and they went out and got more for us no problem. Also affordable, highly recommend.
Used Top Shelf for my daughter's Nov. 20, 2021 wedding in Kansas City (130 people). The 2 bartenders were over the top professional. As quests came up they remembered what people were drinking and would ask do you want another xyz? One of th...
em asked me for the bride and groom’s favorite drinks and had them ready the minute they arrived. Also one of the gals spotted someone who had walked in off the street and checked in with us to make sure we knew who they were (we didn’t). I really appreciated everything they did to make the night flawless. I’d highly recommend them--so easy to work with and quite reasonable price-wise.
Amazing bartending service, great variety of wines and beers and good customer service. I’m sure they have many good bartenders, but I can’t imagine one better than Darcie. Darcie provided next-level service to me and our guests, and took initi...

Top Shelf was outstanding to work with in every way! On the day of our Rehearsal Dinner at Mildale Farms, Erica and Tim were both top notch- not only in setting up and bar tending- but also in serving every wish as planned. As well, they were...
so courteous to our guests. Erica even helped a few of our late arrivers to find a table for dinner and made that just as effortless as possible for all. You won’t be disappointed with Top Shelf- they are “top drawer” in every way!! 5 gold stars, well deserved!!

erything was incredibly professional, and Darcie and Erika went above and beyond. Many of our guests mentioned how great they were- not just waiting for people to order, but coming into the crowd to offer refills. They also continuously made their rounds picking up empty cups and trash which was a huge help to me! If we ever find the energy to throw another party, we will absolutely give them a call. THANK YOU to Top Shelf for delivering such amazing service. Will recommend to all of our friends!!!

Top Shelf was exceptional to work with from the moment we reached out to them. You will also be hard-pressed to find better pricing on anything you'd like at your wedding! They kept our reception running so smoothly and made sure everyone had a...
great time. I loved that we could truly customize our menu to have whatever we wanted. Most places force you into all top shelf or all premium or all well... Top Shelf makes sure what you want served is available. I loved that I could place Woodford Reserve behind the bar just for my dad!
They have a wonderful handle on providing excellent service with delicious drinks at a more than fair price. I'm so happy we hired them!
Erin worked with us to accommodate our beverage needs for both our daughters' weddings. Their staff is professional, accommodating, and friendly to guests.
Wow! Top shelf did an amazing job! Over and over again I would recommend their services. When arranging their services for our wedding they were very organized and communicated very efficiently. My husband and I don’t drink much so creating our...
drink menu was daunting but Top Shelf gave us great suggestions and made creating our bar menu one of the easiest things we planned! Our bartenders were not just “people behind the bar” as they went out of their way to serve our bridal party, while still caring for our guests, and they also assisted me with my dress before I started my walk down the aisle. I was so impressed by their hard work and kindness, they absolutely exceeded my expectations.
The top shelf team was great to work with. They customized the bar menu to what I wanted, added on tea, water, and lemonade, and were more than willing to make adjustments as needed. They were very professional and wonderful to work with at the...
wedding. I would highly recommend them for all bartending needs!
Easy to communicate with, great service, and my reception guests seemed happy the whole night. Awesome experience with Top Shelf
We had a great experience hiring top shelf bartending for our wedding! We went and sampled their wines, beers, and picked out our signature drinks (whiskey & coke and Bellini bar) and all were delicious. We also had a champagne wall and they pr...
ovided the plastic flutes and it looked beautiful! Even our final bill wasn’t near as expensive as we all were predicting, because they take back unopen bottles/cases. I personally didn’t interact with the bartenders that night (struggle of being the bride lol!) but I didn’t hear any complaints and the tip jars were full. I would definitely recommend this company over and over!
Top Shelf was overall AMAZING. They exceeded every expectation that I had. The lady that was bartending for us that night was so helpful, polite, and overall so good at her job! They made sure everything went smoothly and that I had no worries...
other than enjoying my wedding. ABSOLUTELY recommend them to anyone who needs a bar service for an event!
Top Shelf did an amazing job! They kept my husband and I's drink flowing as well as our guests! I would choose them again and again.

The team at Top Shelf was amazing! When first booking them we were short on time but they ensured that everything was taken care of. When we had to postpone our event due to COVID-19 they were accommodating in every way.

drinks arrived early, and were gone the next day, so we did not have to worry about them. They even overstocked our bar so none of our guests went thirsty, and bought back what was unopened.

Top Shelf went provided outstanding customer service from the moment we reached out to them, through service, and until the very end of the night. They were enormously helpful in determining what we needed to offer our guests and accommodated t...
he little touches that made the event special to us - glassware to cut down on plastics, an important value of ours, Bells Two Hearted for our bridal party, and Veuve Clicquot just for us. They were active in helping us all along the way without question! I had several guests comment on how attentive, friendly, and upbeat Tiffany and Chad (the bartenders) were and I could not agree more! They were absolute stars behind the bar!
When planning a wedding there are seemingly a million decisions to be made and it can be overwhelming at times. Looking back no planning, there was one thing that helped put my mind at ease and that was that we had hired the best vendors to ensure our night would go smoothly. Top Shelf is undoubtedly one of the those vendors. I had not a care in the world on our day and they helped make that happen.

Justin to go over the signature drink he was very knowledgeable and worked with us to get our perfect drink. The day of the wedding I was surprised to fi d out that the signature drink was of a very generous size. The bartender was very friendly (had a couple girls swooning over him too 😉), clean, and honest. He was also very attentive and took initiative by preparing drinks for my groom and I while we were standing out in the cold waiting for pictures. I would definitely reccomend this company for their professionalism and great services.

Our reception was a huge success and a non-stop party thanks to Top Shelf!
