Other Preferred Partners
While some clients may be looking for more traditional wedding bartending service at their reception, other clients may be looking for all-in-one mobile bartending services out of a trailer or truck.
Clients looking for an alternative bartending service are still encouraged to contact Top Shelf Bartending. Hosts may have some luck searching “bartending services for weddings near me,” but Top Shelf interacts with new vendors on a weekly basis.
We are continuously partnering and building relationships with caterers, DJs, photographers, and other people providing professional bartending service.
Wedding Bartender Jobs
Top Shelf Bartending is always looking to add members to our team. There are times during our peak season when we run 6-8 or more events on a Saturday or Sunday. We need as many dependable professional bartenders available as possible.
We have had great success training the right people from scratch. Sometimes, professional bartenders tend to have big egos, and that’s not really the nature of wedding reception bartending or private party bartending.
Wedding bartending service is mainly about taking care of the guests – whatever that might mean on a given day – so that the hosts can relax a little bit and enjoy the day.
As a professional bartending service, we are always looking for people with good attitudes who can get along well with wedding guests and hold conversations with people at corporate functions or private parties.
We feel that we can teach a lot of people how to make mojitos or handle volume crowds during cocktail hour. What we can’t teach is grace and a bit of humility, or dedication and work ethic.
Professional bartenders and servers looking for additional work during the spring and summer are still encouraged to contact Top Shelf. It’s always great to add seasoned pros who know how to make exceptional cocktails. But please understand that bartending wedding receptions isn’t quite the same as serving regulars at a corner bar or slinging drinks at a club.
