FH and I are huge ice cream fans, so we definitely want to do an ice cream sundae bar I cant offer much help as far as philly, but I know some rental companies offer soft serve ice cream machines and you would just have to get the mix, toppings, etc. if you wanted to do regular ice cream that might be easier..just have to get buckets of ice cream and you could probably work something out with your caterer!

Do you have a Cold Stone Creamery nearby? They offer staffed sundae bars as well as self-serve ice cream bars. =)

This sounds amazing...I would not think this juvenile at all. I would be so happy to go to a wedding that did this!

Thanks Ladies.......I was hesitant to even post this question on here, b/c I really thought it seemed a bit "pin the tail on the donkey", lol. But now I feel much better! It is just something we are thinking of doing, b/c it seems that, in addition to the wedding cake, the majority of people have cupcakes, little teeny desserts on trays, the usual wedding fare.

Cristi - we DO have Cold Stone Creamery near us........I think! Did not come up on Google Search though. I'll have to go onto their site. Thank you!

I don't have advice, but I wanted to say that sounds AWESOME, and as I guest I would love it.

Thanks Beth. Seems soft serve ice cream bars are not very popular in the Philly area! But I am gonna keep on searching!

I love this idea too! My FH and I almost did this, but went with a dessert bar instead. I can't help you in your area but we found a place for ice cream at a Bridal Show. milkandhoneychattanooga.com

I'm sure you've done a ton of Google searches already, but did you try gelato?

I don't have any advice, but we had a Kona Ice truck come to our reception to serve up Shaved Ice and it was a HUGE HIT!!! Hope you can find a vendor because I know your guests would love it!

Jill I didn't try gelato.......I'll give that a go. Kimberly, not sure what a Kona Ice truck is; will have to look it up. Thank you!!!!!!!

We do ice cream bars for events all the time. Have you talked to your caterer? Before you go book food, talk to your caterer/venue. They may have rules on bringing in outside food

Try party rental places that rent out margarita machines and stuff. I found a ton of them that also rent out soft serve machines. Might not come up in a google search? I love the idea!

I'm having a Ben & Jerry's ice cream bar that is offered through my venue. Everyone is really excited about it!

I know Marble Slab also offers this service! It is something I am doing

Not juvenile at all

SOUNDS AWESOME

i lubbb icecream!

There are a couple different ice cream food trucks in our area. They could drive to your location and would have everyting on board

The thing with the truck idea is, it's an indoor reception, so not sure how the "ice cream truck" would work. I don't think it would.

We asked out caterer about doing on in lieu of a dessert table. They said they would look into it, but the problem would be that a dessert table is self serve, whereas an ice-cream bar, due to health reasons, would need staff to serve the guests. Still hoping we get one though!!!!!
