The Ice Butcher in the Upper Florida Keys
Where Coastal Luxury Meets Ice Art
The Upper Florida Keys — from Key Largo to Islamorada — are world-famous for turquoise waters, fishing legends, and one-of-a-kind celebrations. Events here blend island charm with upscale luxury, and guests expect unforgettable details.
That’s where The Ice Butcher makes an impact. We bring custom ice sculptures, seafood displays, glowing ice bars, cocktail luges, branded cubes, and dry ice effects to the Keys’ most exclusive clubs and luxury resorts. Whether it’s a wedding at Ocean Reef Club, a corporate retreat at Baker’s Cay, or a party at Holiday Isle, our ice creations set the stage for memories that last long after the sun sets.

Our Ice Creations in the Upper Keys
Ice Sculptures
Perfect for weddings, anniversaries, and galas. From romantic swans at Baker’s Cay to company logos for Ocean Reef Club fundraisers, sculptures add artistry and impact.
Ice Bars
A glowing bar carved from ice transforms any reception into an event centerpiece. With embedded bottles, etched panels, or LED accents, they’re perfect for corporate retreats at The Bungalows or charity galas at Ocean Reef.
Ice Luges
Fun, interactive, and photogenic. Martini luges shaped like dolphins, fish, or even playful Keys-themed designs delight guests at Holiday Isle parties or Islamorada weddings.
Seafood Displays
In the Keys, seafood is non-negotiable — and it belongs on ice. We create shrimp towers, oyster stations, and lobster displays carved into ice trays that keep seafood fresh and guests impressed. Perfect for fishing tournaments at Angler’s Club or destination weddings on the beach.
Mini Ice Showpieces
Affordable centerpieces that surprise and delight. Mini sculptures are ideal for intimate dinners at Ocean Reef or private celebrations at waterfront estates.
Branded Ice Cubes
Cocktails are elevated with logo-etched or full-color branded cubes. Imagine every mojito at The Bungalows carrying your initials, or every martini at Ocean Reef Club featuring a sponsor’s logo.
