1. Interactive Ice Bars
Imagine your guests grabbing drinks from a bar made entirely of ice! An interactive ice bar not only serves beverages, but also acts as a jaw-dropping showpiece. It provides a unique way for guests to get their drinks while marveling at the icy spectacle. Our team can even transform the bar front and legs to include your event’s theme or brand’s logo to make your ice bar uniquely yours.
To enhance the experience, consider adding an ice luge to the bar top! Guests will love watching the bartender send liquor down the luge into their waiting glass. This transforms an ordinary bar transaction into a truly fun and interactive experience! Everyone will snap pictures as they walk up to the ice bar, thus increasing guest engagement and social media sharing.
As an added bonus, stock the ice bar with engraved cubes or ice spheres! Ideal for specialty drinks, this cocktail ice will serve as a fun surprise-and-delight moment when your guests are handed their libations. Plus, engraved cubes allow for another unique branding opportunity!
2. Floral Infused Ice Sculptures
Fresh floral is a classic and timeless element to incorporate into any event’s design. What guests won’t be expecting though is the floral to be frozen inside ice! Floral infused ice sculptures are exceptionally elegant and unique pieces that combine the colors and textures of natural flowers with the creative artistry of ice sculptures.
These sophisticated pieces allow you to include your event’s color palette into your ice sculpture in a unique way. This idea works particularly well for weddings or events with a botanical garden or garden party theme but is versatile enough to fit any occasion.
3. Multifaceted & Functional Beverage Display
With a full beverage ice display, it’s time to blend functionality with visual appeal! One of the most popular beverage displays comprises of a branded luge with a bottle holder piece. If you’re customizing this for a wedding, you could have your monogram engraved on the luge and it would be surrounded by 2 arcing bottle holders that would display champagne bottles.
If you’re utilizing this for another type of social or corporate event, you might consider having a large custom ice sculpture of your logo with a luge, flanked by a single or multi-bottle holder.
This unique type of beverage display is as practical as it is beautiful, and creates a more visually impactful statement than just a single sculpture on its own.

4. Raw Bar Tower
We’ve talked about drinks, but what about food? It’s arguably one of the most important components of any event, so it’s imperative that you display it well! Instead of having a regular buffet, why not turn your food table into an impressive display?
Perfect for serving seafood, a unique raw bar made of ice is just the answer! While we can create a single level raw bar, like a caviar display, the most striking way to serve seafood is to use a 3-tiered raw bar tower! This has 3 levels from which you can serve multiple types of seafood and comes with a branded logo topper. A display like this not only keeps the food colder for longer, but also transforms your ice sculpture into a show-stopping centerpiece!
To further enhance your raw bar, consider adding ice bowls on either side of the tower for more food, sauces, or other accoutrements.
5. Picture Frame Ice Sculptures
Want to make your event Insta-worthy? A picture frame ice sculpture is just the thing! Crafted completely of ice, this is a life-size picture frame with a cutout in the middle so guests can stand behind the ice for fun photo moment. The frame can be designed as ornately and elegantly as your event is and we can even engrave your company name or logo on the frame.
Our clients love that this type of ice sculpture encourages guest participation and interaction. The more photos that are snapped during your event, the more your event gets shared on social media and generates that much more buzz!
This picture frame concept can also be applied to mascot or character ice sculptures. These creations depict a famous icon, like Chuck Berry or your favorite sports team’s mascot, with a face cutout, so guests can put their faces up to the ice for the photo. Kids especially will love this ice display, so if your event is geared towards a family demographic, this is a great option for you!
