Top Shelf was our #1 favorite wedding vendor!!! When we started our planning, we were very indecisive on alcohol/drink options (my husband and I really didn't know what we were doing with wedding planning) but Kristina was so patient and helpfu...

l and went back and forth with us until we crafted the perfect drink menu. She gave us a great discount for our rehearsal dinner/wedding reception combo, helped us stay in budget, and was just so easy to work with throughout the whole process. The bartenders for both events were so fun, down-to-earth, and easy talk to - they totally matched the vibe of our party and had fun with our guests! Exactly what I wanted for our wedding. The drinks were DELICIOUS (*we highly recommend the painkiller and mojitos*) and they packed us a great mini drink cooler that we took on our honeymoon. We would totally recommend Top Shelf to our friends (and we will totally use them again for any of our future parties!)

Kristina and her team at Top Shelf Events were absolutely amazing for our wedding at Pebble Hill Plantation! She was very communicative throughout the entire planning process and crafted our bar menu based on our preferences. She also included ...

several little touches such as bottling our signature drinks so we could taste them during our catering tasting and delivering a batch of margaritas to the bridal party while we were getting ready!
