    Bartending at my husband's 30th party
    Estella R.

    I've used Top Shelf Bartending twice in the past 6 months. Both bartenders, Julian and Raul dressed professionally, had professional attitudes and were quick at dispensing drinks. Their pricing is fantastic and the drinks themselves were top notch and delicious! I was highly impressed with their overall service and my guests couldn't stop raving about them, the drinks and the awesome party we had. Hiring a bartender for a birthday and having a custom Drink Menu- big crowd pleaser.

    Completely unreliable and non communicative. I made the mistake of trusting that this was a professional outlet.

Before booking, we went to a tasting and got to try a bunch of drinks to pick the perfect menu, which was such a fun experience. They also had a mixed shot called Mexican Candy, and it was a total crowd favorite, highly recommend adding that! Liz gave us an estimate for how much alcohol to buy, and after a few tweaks based on our guests, it ended up being spot-on. We barely had anything left by the end of the night, which was perfect. Our guests kept saying how good the drinks were and that it was one of the best wedding bars they've had. So glad we went with MIA, would 100% recommend them for any event!

After working with them for my bridal shower in August (shoutout to Caleb!), it was an easy decision to hire them again for our wedding. I spent months connecting closely with Liz and truly appreciated the time and attention she gave us while helping plan our cocktail menu and shopping list. Her guidance made the planning process feel so much easier and less stressful. On the wedding day, the bar ran smoothly all night, the drinks were great, and our guests felt well taken care of. In addition to bartending, their team provided three servers who handled set-up and clean-up and did a phenomenal job. We rented plates and cutlery for 136 guests and were responsible for returning every piece -- the MIA team washed, dried, and accounted for everything, which was an enormous help. I truly cannot thank them enough. Thank you so much MIA Bartending team for all of your hard work, care, and professionalism. Ya'll are the best! ~ L&L Guerrero~

Prior to our wedding, Ashley and I communicated over the type of wedding party we were having, as well as how many drinking adults we were having so we could get a proper headcount of how many supplies and ingredients were needed to be purchased. Ashley gave me a list of her award winning drinks to choose from so we could have His and Hers specialty cocktails, which was so much fun to pick from! Closer to our wedding day, she gave us an organized and detailed shopping list which we could order through Amazon to save us the trouble of having to go to our local grocer. On the day of our wedding, we had the pleasure of working with Colton and Tyler. Both showed up in a timely manner and immediately went straight to work. We love that they had a beautiful bar stand set up with a menu so that our guests knew what they were being served. What blew us away was the fact that the drinks were all prepared ahead of time and displayed on the stand so our guests can just grab and go without having to wait in a long line. It is so efficient!! We love it. On top of that, our guests absolutely enjoyed the drinks. We received compliments all night on how amazing the drinks were. We are so thankful for Ashley, Colton, and Tyler for their incredible work. Worth every penny and we'll definitely hire them again for future events!

    Been meaning to make time for this honest, true review…read more I scheduled this bartending company 3 month before our wedding party. We came to an agreement which included 4 hours of bartending service, syrups, garnishes and ice. With the understanding that I would purchase all the alcohol, mixers, and cups. (Totally normal to buy the alcohol btw, not a problem) Paid the deposit and 1 week before the wedding party we started discussing the cocktail menu. They started off by asking me what drinks we would like. I kept it vague and listed drinks I thought people might like available; such as Cran /vodka, rum/Coke, michis, Moscow mules, Paloma's and I think margaritas. Then they asked me to chose 2 signature cocktails that required fancy ingredients. Which I was very excited about! I was expecting a list of alcohol related items once the cocktail list was settled. At this point we had agreed to the signature cocktails and not much else. I received the list. The alcohol and mixers were on the list. There was also a section on the list that included such things as: simple syrup, dried limes, lime juice, hibiscus salt, sugars, cherries, and other items I'd never heard of. So I simply asked for clarification on this section of the list. Just because I wanted to make sure I knew exactly what I was buying on the list. I told them how I was under the impression that I was buying the alcohol and thought they were providing garnishes and syrups. They proceeded to explain that the agreement said 2 syrups and 2 garnishes only. That I was practically paying for the service and that ice is not something they usually include but they had for me because it was negotiated during the quote process. I read the message. Already mentally accepting I misunderstood and while I am replying to their message. They text me immediately. And say...

So when our venue provided a list of preferred bartenders and we saw Alfonso's name on it, we were thrilled and reached out right away! From the beginning, Alfonso was easy to work with, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us create something unique for our wedding. We stayed in touch throughout the year, and about three months before the wedding, we met for a tasting. We came in with ideas, and Alfonso brought them to life while also offering recommendations that made them even better. One of our favorite parts was creating our three signature cocktails inspired by our cats. He helped us fine-tune each drink, and the final result was not only fun and personal but absolutely delicious. Throughout the planning process, Alfonso was incredibly accommodating. Our wedding required a cocktail hour bar setup in one area and then a complete move and setup for the reception bar later in the evening. He handled all of it seamlessly and made sure everything was ready when it needed to be. The drinks were a huge hit. Our guests kept coming up to us throughout the night to tell us how much they loved them, especially the signature cocktails. Alfonso also helped us create a beautiful custom drink menu, and the final printed version looked fantastic. On the wedding day, Alfonso and his fellow bartender were amazing. They were professional, friendly, efficient, and kept the bar running smoothly all night. Most importantly, the drinks were consistently delicious from start to finish. We are incredibly grateful for all of Alfonso's hard work, creativity, and attention to detail. He helped create such a fun experience for our guests, and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding bartender for their event.

From my very first conversation with Miles, I was impressed. Instead of simply sending me an email or text, he took the time to speak with me personally on the phone and explain everything in detail. He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and personable, and he made sure I had all the information I needed to feel comfortable planning the bar service for our event. That initial conversation with Miles was actually one of the main reasons I chose Tipsy Toucan. The communication throughout the entire process was excellent. They provided me with a very detailed list of everything I would need to have available for the event, and every question I had was answered promptly and thoroughly. I really appreciated how organized and attentive they were from beginning to end. On the day of the party, our bartender, Arturo, arrived and was absolutely wonderful. He was professional, upbeat, friendly, and had the bar set up very quickly. Our guests were so impressed with the cocktails he made, and the bar ended up being a huge hit! The drinks were fantastic, and Arturo helped make the evening even more enjoyable. I also want to recognize Leticia, the coordinator, along with Miles and Arturo. Everyone I dealt with was professional, helpful, and made the entire experience incredibly easy and seamless. I would absolutely hire Tipsy Toucan again without hesitation or reservation. Everything went smoothly, the drinks were fantastic, the service was excellent, and our guests had a wonderful time. My only regret is that I didn't take more pictures of the beautiful bar setup and drinks--but I was too busy hosting and enjoying the party! Thank you, Miles, Leticia, Arturo, and the entire Tipsy Toucan team for helping make my daughter's birthday celebration such a memorable one. Highly recommended!

Informative, to the point, kind, articulate, honest, and intelligent bartender with clear years of experience. I needed a bartender for my wedding in late June 2025, did not know how the process worked on getting signature drinks, the process on buying the alcohol and or the amount I needed. Amber had all the answers. She even recommend some drinks that are her specialty when we said we didn't know what drinks to have has specialty drinks. What stood out to me the most about Amber was her communication skills; there was never a point in the process that I felt she was not listening to me or did not get things done on a timely manner. We bought the perfect amount of alcohol for 70ish people with some to spare of everything! Heather was our bartender the day of, felt bad I did not have a designated space for her when she got there but Heather was quick to adapt and advised us she didn't need a lot of room and where she thought would be a good space..and she was so right! All my wedding guests loved Heather and thought she was efficient and intelligent on any and all drinks that she was able to make with the alcohol available. Hands down the best mobile bartending service in Orange County! Highly highly highly recommend!!!!!

We wanted to have a slow paced dinner and drinks and really enjoy the atmosphere and our server Eric did a great job at pacing the meal for exactly that. The service overall was really attentive with our waters being refilled often and several members of the staff checking in at intervals. There was a mix of attire from more fancy and dressed up to more casual. We started with some drinks- the Matador and the Oaxacan old fashioned. The old fashioned was a work of art- it smelled so smoky and delicious! We ordered the Kanpachi Crudo for the appetizer and when it came out, we were a little disappointed with how teeny tiny it was, but then we tasted it and it was absolutely delicious. What an incredible combination of flavors. We were so glad we ordered it. We had a little bread as well to pace the meal- that was hot and super tender. For our meals we ordered the Flat Iron Steak and the Red Wine Braised Short Rib with pommes and sautéed spinach. Every bite was perfection. We were so happy with our experience here. We still had the babysitter for a little longer and Eric recommended we check out a few other areas of the hotel, which was cool. We did just that and went upstairs to Halo after.

I was a little surprised and thought it was funny when I saw in thier Yelp description that they just flat out put some of their pricing in their bio. That is very upfront-already they were out of my price range as I have hired bartending companies in the past and was just looking for maybe 2 signature cocktails and some standard packages. The owner (Mikey) told me that they offer an incredible cocktail experience and perhaps their services wouldn't suit my needs. Really straightforward and honest. Gave me some good advice about my own party with no pressure and told me to check out their Instagram page for perhaps a future event. Just for fun I checked out their website videos and Instagram and I was in awe or even addicted to their beautiful cocktails. My husbands and our friends all watched the videos and read the reviews. I was so worried- they sounded too good to be true (Instagram beautiful, but disappointing in person). So we kinda all pitched in to hire these guys-we just decided to go all out and ordered EVERY recommendation! We never ordered glassware or tables before and Mikey told us exactly what to order-he was like a wedding coordinator for bars! We got these crazy images printed on rice paper and handmade candy butterflies that looked like really jewelry-just blown away! They were the stars of the party and the vendors. Even the vendors wanted drinks. They had this service where they would just create on the spot which definitely was a pricey option but wow what an experience! It was like a Michelin star cocktail that had Instagram worthy looks all you can drink buffet experience! Every drink that left the bar everyone-would try to take a picture of it. I mean I even saw someone taking a picture of a drink off someone else's phone gallery lol!! Even my wine snob friend and manly beer drinkers wanted in. We are all still talking about the drinks and how passionate they were. Even water and non-alcoholic drinks they left the bar looked too pretty to drink. I swear I heard people saying they felt bad drinking the cocktail's because they were too beautiful! I know this is a long review but I wanted to tell people how amazing this team is. They put everything into each cocktail. I mean you just have to experience it to understand it-it's what Michael told me but wow it's true.
