"Jude and his Top Shelf staff impresses us in every possible aspect of doing
business. We were so busy with planning all the details of our wedding, and
Jude was our saving grace with his guidance and suggestions and his
attention to detail. His bars are beautiful, and his staff is professional
and so pleasant. Above all, his dependable nature, excellent knowledge of
the
bar business (what we needed and how much!), and his prompt follow up
and solidifying plans made him truly the easiest and most enjoyable vendor we
worked with for our wedding! Thank you so much, Jude!"

"Top Shelf was great to work with. Jude and his crew were very
professional. I look forward to working with them again soon".
Ricardo Castellanos
Rip and Cristin Coke reception
"Well the dust has finally settled after the "wedding frenzy" and I am left with
beautiful reflections on my most very special of days. Designing and producing a
wedding is an enormous endeavor! Through the eight course months of planning my
enduring Mom and I really learned the value of working with experienced
professionals. Key word being professionals! And that would describe you
and Top Shelf. Another word that comes to mind is "impeccable".
We
sincerely thank you and your lovely Fiance for your expert contribution to our
successful event."

Knowlwood Tennis Club Caribbean Christmas Celebration
"Top
Shelf was excellent once again. The wind and cold did not dampen their enthusiasm
to make the best tropicals drinks ever! We will use them for our next event."

Greg and Mimi Putnam's Just Because/Birthday Party
"Our beloved guests were exceedingly pleased with our bar staff and made
a point to tell me so. I can vouch for their astute observation as
well. An excellent job. I hope we didn't over-extend you yet we
greatly appreciate you sticking with us for as long as you did.
You'll be back.
I even feel comfortable getting your final bill. Again, Mimi and I
thank you very much for the great service and attention to detail. The 'Southsiders' made a big hit."

Brian Greggory 100 year Anniversary Historical House Party
"As
an avid cocktail enthusiast and fine liquors collector, I recommend Top
Shelf Bartending Services to the utmost degree. Their enthusiasm and
fine mixology is truly first-rate. These folks are not hacks sloshing a
drink together; rather, they're artisans that have perfected their art. And, they're pretty fun to have around, too... "

Paul Franz Construction Christmas Party at the Maritime Museum.-Santa Barbara
"In the past, I've always had difficulty booking a bartending service
for our venue. There is a lack of enthusiasm and capability
in the previous services I've used. This is the complete opposite
of Top Shelf Bartending. Not only do they have
everything you need to present a professional image, their service
is impecable going above and beyond their contracted call of
duty. I will continue to refer Top Shelf to anyone who is seeking
a responsible and courteous experience with their bartending
needs. Thank you Top Shelf Bartending!"

Teva Annual Sales Meeting
"We
hired Top Shelf to manage the bar at our open night sales meeting
party. They took a lot of weight off my shoulders as the event
planner. The guys arrived on time, helped us with items we had
forgotten on our shopping list, kept the line moving all night and
served one heck of a dirty martini in the process. Thanks guys, I
would definitely recommend Top Shelf for any event."
Jaime Eschette
PR Coordinator
El Capitan Canyon
"The guys from Top Shelf
were, well, top shelf! They were well-informed, very organized
and a pleasure to work with. As an Event Coordinator, they made
my job very, very easy - they set up, did a fabulous job, packed up,
and left... it was just too easy.
"The group that they served were very happy and recommended that we use
them for all future groups. And we will!"

Subu Iyer & Elyse Jameson Wedding Reception at the Greek Orthodox Church
"The thought of dealing with alcohol at my wedding reception was overwhelming. The guys from Top Shelf made it all so simple. I told them how many people were coming, and what their tastes were, and they took care of the rest. Told me what to buy, where to buy it, and how much. And on the night of my event they were professional and fun. They went above and beyond the call and by the end of the evening my guests were taking pictures with them. I would recommend Top Shelf to anyone!"
Elyse Jameson
Kathy Odell Birthday party
"Top Shelf lives up to its name. The
staff was excellent, the best we have ever used - attentive to detail,
energetic and easy to work with. The bartender happily handled all
requests - some our guests played "Stump the Bartender" and lost.
The Tiki Bar is a real winner - its presence set the party mood from the minute
guests arrived to the last Mai Tai at the end of the evening. Top Shelf
has earned a permanent place on our party resource list."

"Day Before Bartender"
" We hired Jude from Top Shelf to
take care of us at the BBQ (as well as our wedding) – he is great and well
worth the money – really took care of everyone."
"Jude from Top Shelf. This man loves his job – he bartended both our rehearsal
and our wedding – and made both great. He remembered guests and truly took care
of everyone. Great drinks was just the start, this man served my guests and
gave us all a life time of memories – as corny as that sounds – he did. I would
hire him again in a second."
