    Best Experience!!

    We booked Top Shelf as our wedding planner and service for our wedding day. It was amazing to work with Jude during the whole wedding planning process. He was so smart with coming up with solutions and so helpful with everything! The wedding day went so smoothly because of him. We couldn’t have done it without him.

    The top shelf service is amazing during the wedding day!! All my guests loved their attentiveness. I appreciated that they brought drinks and appetizers to my family and wedding party while we were taking photos after the ceremony. They kept checking in with me if they need amazing.

    I couldn’t have asked for anything better than top shelf. I definitely recommend for your wedding needs.

    10/10 would hire again in a heartbeat!

    Jude and his team were an absolute dream to work with. During Covid, our wedding went through several iterations, and Jude was so, so helpful when it came to our MANY questions, last minute changes, etc. Having never thrown an event of this scale before, I had no idea what to expect in terms of alcohol needs, glassware rentals, staffing, etc. and Jude smoothly guided my husband and I through the whole process, offering helpful insight and suggestions that ultimately lead to an incredibly smooth day-of. The drinks were delicious, the service was professional and quick, and the whole day went off without a hitch thanks to Jude and his team! I'd absolutely recommend Top Shelf to anyone.

    Go with Top Shelf!

    Jude and his crew were incredible. In the months leading up to the wedding, Jude answered all of our questions in a timely and kind manner. We had some last minute issues pop up with our venue which he helped us navigate successfully. Throughout the evening Jude and Heather were on top of everything - making sure we ate, bringing us champagne/desserts and managing shuttle buses back to the hotel for guests, etc. Honestly, if anything went wrong, we didn’t know! Jude and his team are very experienced, professional and they know everything and everyone in the Santa Barbara wedding scene.

    Lastly, if the above isn’t enough to convince you to go with Top Shelf - they handled everything for us - coordinating, catering, bar service, dining rentals, etc. They are a one stop shop which was especially helpful for us planning our Santa Barbara Wedding from LA. There’s enough to plan and worry about - let Jude and his team take care of as much as possible!

    Super Hero Wedding Planner!

    Jude is so knowledgeable in his industry! He knows all the other vendors in Santa Barbara area, he knows all the venues, and he gives great advice! I highly recommend choosing him in general, but especially if you are having a Santa Barbara wedding because it is ideal to hire a wedding planner who is familiar with your venue. He will know how much space there is for things and he will be realistic with you about what will/will not work. Although he is technically a partial service wedding planner, he will do full-service things for you because he goes above-and-beyond to make sure his brides are happy. He even fought for a refund for us from a vendor that we ended up needing a refund from. It was great that he had a lot of "pull" with that vendor when they were trying to be difficult. I highly recommend hiring Jude as your wedding planner!
