Our Signature Ice Offerings In Tallahassee
Custom Ice Sculptures
From romantic swans and interlocking rings at weddings to state seals and sponsor logos at political galas, sculptures set the tone for events. At University Center Club receptions, the FSU emblem carved into ice is a showstopper.
Ice Bars
Ice bars elevate receptions, serving as both a functional bar and conversation centerpiece. At Hotel Duval rooftop receptions, glowing ice bars etched with logos create a stunning focal point.
Ice Luges
Interactive and stylish, luges are crowd favorites in Tallahassee. From martini luges shaped like Seminole spears at alumni events to initials for weddings at SouthWood House, they add fun and flair.
Seafood Displays
Seafood towers, oyster trays, and lobster spreads carved into ice keep food both fresh and elegant. They’re popular at Governor’s Club fundraisers and Gaines Street weddings alike.
Mini Ice Showpieces
Smaller sculptures are perfect as centerpieces for fundraising dinners or alumni luncheons. Affordable and memorable, they often replace floral arrangements.
Branded Ice Cubes
In Tallahassee’s political and corporate scene, branded cubes are powerful. Imagine every cocktail at a fundraiser carrying a sponsor’s logo or every champagne toast at an FSU alumni event featuring the Seminole spear.
Dry Ice & Block Ice
We provide dry ice for fog effects, cocktails, and catering and block ice for cooling and carving. With outdoor weddings and gala dinners common, professional supply is essential.
