Wedding ice cream catering, fresh-churned at your venue

From a private-estate reception in Palm Beach to a country-club rehearsal dinner in Wellington — Don Carr churns the ice cream on-site and Dorothy coordinates with your planner so the dessert moment lands at the beat you set.

What we bring to a wedding

A dessert moment that looks like it belongs to your day

We style our setup for the wedding — flowers, fairy lights, and a presentation that fits in with your décor rather than reading as a food-truck billboard.

Don churns the ice cream on-site so guests are served the moment they walk up — no warming, no melt-down at the back of the buffet line. Dorothy handles the venue conversation in advance: load-in window, power needs, where we park, what time service starts, and the cue from your coordinator for when service begins.

We tailor the format to your venue and guest count — talk through what you have in mind during your inquiry and we'll work out the right fit together.

Built for the wedding day

What every wedding booking gets

A menu tailored to your day

We'll talk through flavors, vessels, and sundaes that fit your wedding. Have an idea you want to incorporate? Ask us during the inquiry and we'll see what's possible.

On-site fresh-churn

The ice cream is made at your venue, not pre-packed in a commissary. Guests get the texture and temperature the way it's meant to taste — which is the whole reason this format exists.

Coordination with your planner

Dorothy handles the venue and planner conversation: load-in window, power needs, where we park, what time service starts, and the cue from your coordinator for when to open the cart.

Pack-out at end of event

We arrive on the load-in window your coordinator set, we serve through the window you set, and we pack out at the end. Venues and planners notice — it's part of why we get re-booked.

How it typically works

From inquiry to event day

Send an inquiry with the date, the venue, and a rough guest count. Dorothy will respond as soon as she can and typically asks a few clarifying questions before holding the date.

We talk through the menu with you — flavors, vessels, sundaes, and how the dessert moment fits into your timeline (passed during cocktail hour, after dinner, or a late-night surprise).

Your date is typically locked on the calendar with a deposit, and final guest count, timeline, and any venue-specific instructions are confirmed in the weeks leading up to the event.

If your venue requires a Certificate of Insurance, share the requirements during inquiry and we'll confirm what we can provide before contract.

On event day we arrive in the load-in window, set up out of guest sightlines, and open the cart on your planner's cue. After service we strike, clean, and pack out.

Wedding questions, answered

What planners and couples ask first

What's the minimum guest count for a wedding booking?

We tailor the format to your venue and guest count — talk through what you have in mind during your inquiry. What we ask up front is the count, the timeline, and the venue, so we can recommend the right setup and service window.

How much space do you need at our venue?

We tailor the format to your venue — talk through what you have in mind during your inquiry and we'll confirm the exact footprint with your coordinator during planning.

Do you provide a Certificate of Insurance for our venue?

COI is commonly requested for Palm Beach County weddings, especially at private estates, country clubs, and the waterfront properties along the Intracoastal. Share your venue's specific requirements during the inquiry and we'll confirm what we can provide before contract.

Can you do the rehearsal dinner AND the reception?

Yes, and many couples book both. The rehearsal dinner is usually the smaller, more relaxed format — sometimes just sundaes from the cart at a backyard or restaurant patio. The reception is the bigger production. We treat them as one booking with two service windows so the menu and the moment carry through the weekend.

Can we add a dessert table to the booking?

Every wedding is a little different — ask us about your dessert setup during the inquiry and we'll talk through what fits your venue, your timeline, and the moment you're picturing.

Will you coordinate directly with our wedding planner?

Yes — Dorothy handles all planner and coordinator communication once your date is held. We work through your planner on load-in timing, the cue for service, where to park, where to plug in, and how the service moment fits into your timeline. The couple doesn't have to be in the middle of the operational details on the wedding day.
