Why Seafood and Ice Are the Perfect Pair
Seafood is always a symbol of luxury, but at weddings and galas, it’s more than just food — it’s an experience. Guests want something fresh, elegant, and unforgettable.
That’s why event planners in Miami, Palm Beach, Naples, and Jacksonville often turn to seafood displays on ice. Not only do they keep seafood chilled and safe, they also create a stunning visual centerpiece.
Shrimp Towers on Ice
A shrimp tower instantly becomes the highlight of any event.
- Keeps shrimp cold and fresh for hours
- Adds a dramatic focal point at receptions
- Can be customized with initials or logos
In Palm Beach country clubs, shrimp towers on ice are a signature feature for black-tie galas.
Raw Bars & Oyster Stations
Raw bars carved from ice tables make oyster stations clean, stylish, and interactive.
- Built-in ice channels keep oysters and clams fresh
- Dry ice can add fog effects for extra drama
- Guests enjoy watching shuckers at work
In Miami waterfront weddings, these bars double as entertainment. Guests gather to watch shuckers work while enjoying the display.
Lobster & Crab Displays
For larger events, nothing says abundance like a spread of lobster tails and crab legs displayed on block ice trays.
- Sculpted edges can match event themes (shells for beach weddings, snowflakes for winter galas)
- Guests are drawn to the impressive scale and presentation
Fruit + Seafood Pairings
Seafood displays pair beautifully with fruit on ice.
- Citrus, watermelon, and berries add bright color contrast
- Keeps everything fresh and tropical
- Perfect for resort weddings in Naples
At Naples resort weddings, Fruit and Seafood ice tables are a favorite among couples looking for tropical vibes.
Branding & Sponsorship Opportunities
Seafood ice displays don’t just serve food — they can showcase brands.
- Logos can be etched into ice bases
- Sponsors can be featured inside decorative frozen columns
- Guests spend plenty of time at these stations, ensuring maximum visibility
