The Ice Butcher in Miami Beach
Art, Energy, and Ice-Cool Style
There’s nowhere in the world quite like Miami Beach — where art, fashion, luxury, and nightlife come together in one unforgettable mix. From black-tie galas at The Faena, to celebrity-studded events at The Fontainebleau, to intimate rooftop weddings at The Setai, Miami Beach hosts some of the most glamorous celebrations on the planet.
And when presentation matters as much as the experience itself, there’s one thing every elite event needs: ice that makes a statement.
At The Ice Butcher, we specialize in custom ice sculptures, seafood displays, cocktail luges, branded cubes, and illuminated ice bars that turn events into works of art. Whether you’re hosting a luxury wedding, a brand launch, or a private dinner overlooking the ocean, our creations deliver a perfect blend of elegance, precision, and Miami Beach flair.

Our Signature Ice Offerings in Miami Beach
Custom Ice Sculptures
In a city that defines glamour, our custom-carved sculptures are true showpieces. From wedding monograms and fashion logos to avant-garde art installations, each piece is designed to command attention. At The Faena, we’ve created modern, sculptural forms that complement the property’s bold, theatrical aesthetic — pieces that melt slowly under the golden glow of the hotel’s chandeliers.
Ice Bars
Miami Beach and ice bars are a match made in heaven. Imagine sipping champagne or espresso martinis from a glowing bar carved with your logo or wedding motif. Featuring LED illumination, embedded bottles, and etched designs, our ice bars are staples at The Fontainebleau, The Setai, Soho Beach House, and 1 Hotel South Beach.
Ice Luges
Luges bring fun and flair to any Miami Beach event. Whether it’s a martini luge shaped like a seashell, a brand logo luge at Art Basel, or a wedding monogram luge on the beach, each one turns a simple pour into a performance. At Nikki Beach and The Edition, our luges often double as interactive art.
Mini Ice Showpieces
For luxury dinners or brand activations, mini sculptures offer elegance in compact form. Think of logo-etched ice centerpieces for sponsor tables or mini coral sculptures glowing under candlelight. They’re ideal for charity dinners, hotel galas, and intimate restaurant events.
Seafood Displays
Seafood and Miami Beach go hand-in-hand — but on sculpted ice, it becomes a visual masterpiece. Our carved seafood towers, coral reef displays, and ice basins keep lobster, oysters, and shrimp chilled while dazzling guests. Whether at Soho Beach House, The Setai, or a private villa, these displays are as functional as they are fabulous.
Branded Ice Cubes
In Miami Beach, every detail counts. Our custom logo cubes freeze full-color designs or metallic inserts inside crystal-clear ice — a small luxury with massive visual impact. Perfect for cocktail hours at The Setai, VIP lounges at The Faena, or corporate activations at The Fontainebleau.
Dry Ice & Block Ice
We also supply dry ice for fog effects, cocktails, and culinary presentation as well as block ice for cooling and carving — essentials for chefs, caterers, and bars across South Beach.
Ice in Action: Real Miami Beach Events
At a Faena gala, an ice sculpture resembling a crystal obelisk reflected the red and gold hues of the ballroom lighting — a centerpiece that guests couldn’t stop photographing.
During a Fontainebleau New Year’s Eve party, a 10-foot ice bar embedded with bottles of Dom Pérignon kept guests refreshed into the early hours.
For an Art Basel VIP event at The Bass, an entire series of modernist ice sculptures mimicked gallery pieces — the perfect fusion of art and atmosphere.
At a Setai rooftop reception, mini logo sculptures graced each table, glowing subtly against the ocean view.
At a Soho Beach House private dinner, branded cubes featuring the client’s monogram were served in every cocktail.
