The Balenti Wedding — Where Classic Elegance Met Party Vibes
On June 28, 2025, elegance and energy collided at the Balenti wedding—an Oklahoma wedding celebration that was the perfect blend of timeless sophistication and unforgettable party vibes. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Sorelle, The Meadow on Deer Creek, this stunning event brought together elevated bar service, flawless food, and incredible attention to detail.
A Wedding Ceremony That Showcased Their Love
The ceremony was beautiful and classy, truly reflecting the deep love between Abigail and Cade. It was heartfelt, romantic, and full of personal touches that set the tone for the evening. But when it came time to celebrate, the party kicked into full swing—and Top Shelf Cuisine & Cocktails helped lead the way.
With vibrant signature cocktails from Top Shelf and impeccable food service from the Burlap Napkin at Sorelle, every element of the night felt seamless and elevated. The drinks flowed, the dance floor stayed packed, and the energy never dipped.

A Venue That Felt Like Home
From the moment they booked, the team at Sorelle made the bride and groom feel like part of the family. Every step of the way—from the first tour to the final toast—was filled with warmth, support, and genuine care.
When it comes to planning an Oklahoma wedding, it’s about more than just a beautiful venue or good food. It’s about finding vendors who listen, care, and bring your vision to life. For the Balentis, that made all the difference.
The Love Story That Started It All
Their journey began at SWOSU, where sparks flew between a football player and a cheerleader. Three years later, he proposed in her childhood backyard surrounded by close family—turning a private, meaningful moment into the start of forever.
Why They Chose Top Shelf Cuisine & Cocktails
When it came time to choose a wedding bar service, the couple knew they wanted more than great drinks—they wanted a team that could match their energy and vision.
“They [the Top Shelf team] were so easy to work with, have the best drinks, and made us feel so special,” shared bride Abigail Balenti.
From tastings to timeline planning, the Top Shelf Cuisine & Cocktails team provided a personalized experience. Every detail—from signature drink selection to execution—was thoughtfully handled.
The Signature Cocktail That Stole the Spotlight
After exploring a few options, one cocktail stood out above the rest: the Pink Bikini—a refreshing blend of Malibu, Amaretto, and raspberry lemonade.
“I changed my mind with drinks, and it was your team that helped pick the Pink Bikini!” Abigail said.
The cocktail quickly became a crowd favorite and perfectly captured the couple’s vision for a celebration that was light, fun, and full of good vibes.
