Testimonials

The team at Bottoms Up is ELITE! I reached out to Melinda with just a month to go before our wedding, and she immediately put us at ease. She was responsive, detail-oriented, and professional from the very first call. She helped us plan a bar menu tailored to our guests, shared a thoughtful buy-list that saved us time and money, and guided us through cocktail choices that fit the vibe of our wedding perfectly.

On the wedding day, her team was punctual, organized, and an absolute well-oiled machine. They set up a full bar that looked fantastic, and for 7 straight hours they served 200 guests with ease — beer, wine, a full bar, and two signature cocktails. Guests raved about the drinks, and the bartenders were warm, professional, and efficient the entire time.

Bottoms Up made a huge wedding stress disappear for us. Melinda and her team knocked it out of the park, and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone planning a wedding or event. Thank you for your professionalism, excellent customer service, and delicious cocktails — you guys are awesome!

My wedding was one month ago and I'm still so happy thinking about the success of the bar provided by Melinda. She asked a lot of good questions during the planning phase and spent a long time with me designing the drink menu and alcohol shopping lists. She would check in often in the months leading up to the big day. She's friendly, nice and takes a lot of interest in getting to know her couples. She will give you all the tools you will ever need for anything bar related!
