Why Ice Cream is the Perfect Substitute (or Compliment!) for Wedding Cake
We LOVE when our couples want to add personalized details to their wedding day. One of our favorite examples of this? An ice cream cart! We chatted with Engaged Wedding Library Vendor, Neighbors Ice Cream, about their ice cream cart and why we are convinced that it is a MUST-HAVE for your wedding day!
Neighbors Ice Cream Cart is such an awesome addition to any wedding! We hear it all the time- not everyone is a big fan of cake, but they still want some type of dessert for their reception. Not only does this offer a refreshing twist, but it also ensures your guests have a memorable and unique experience. Ice Cream is such a crowd pleaser! When you book Neighbors for your wedding, you have the choice between as many as 75 different flavors! Their most popular flavors include Cappuccino Crunch, Brown Butter Bourbon Truffle, Key Lime Pie, along with the classic (and our favorite) Cookies and Cream. With so many options, you truly cannot go wrong!
David, Anne, and their staff are always so great to work with, helping each couple curate a personalized menu of 5 flavors to serve on wedding day. They also offer sorbets, dairy alternatives, and sugar free options! Plus, you get the choice of 3 different packages:
1. Just ice cream/ice alternatives
2. Ice cream + toppings bar
3. Ice cream + toppings + milkshake bar
Unlike a wedding cake, which is typically limited to a few flavors, an ice cream bar allows guests to mix and match from a variety of flavors and toppings. From classic vanilla and chocolate to more exotic flavors, the possibilities are endless. Add in some fun toppings, and it makes for a delightful experience for every guest, regardless of their preferences! What’s not to love?!
Even if you are still planning on having a wedding cake, Neighbors Ice Cream + cake make a perfect pair! It can be such a fun, interactive detail that your guests are sure to never forget. An ice cream bar is more than just a dessert; it's an experience. Guests can enjoy traditional cake plus the interactive element of creating their own sundae, which adds such an engaging atmosphere to your reception. It's a great way to break the ice and keep the energy high during your celebration. This personal touch will not only delight your guests but also create lasting memories of your special day!
