Engagement Party Gelato Catering at Halifax Hoboken

When Melissa contacted us about catering an engagement party, we started with the basics: the venue and the estimated guest count. Once we learned the event would take place at Halifax Hoboken for around 100 guests, we proposed two catering options based on the size of the celebration. They chose an 8-tub setup, which gave guests a mix of classic gelato flavors and refreshing sorbets, including vegan-friendly options.

How the event started

When Melissa contacted us about catering an engagement party, we began the same way we do with most event inquiries: by asking for the venue and the estimated guest count. Once we learned the celebration would take place at Halifax Hoboken with around 100 guests, we put together two catering options based on the size of the party and the amount of gelato needed.

Choosing the right catering option

They decided to go with an 8-tub setup, which gave their guests a wide variety of flavors to choose from throughout the event. The final lineup included two tubs of milk chocolate, plus peanut butter, lemon sorbet, lychee sorbet, strawberry, ube, and vanilla.

An 8-tub flavor lineup for 100 guests

It was a great balance of familiar favorites and more distinctive flavors. Our milk chocolate is mellow and crowd-friendly, made with Belgian chocolate and Dutch-processed cocoa for sweetness and depth. Vanilla is one of our most versatile flavors, with a sweet aroma from our blend of bourbon and Tahitian extracts along with carefully extracted vanilla beans. Peanut butter added richness and texture, while strawberry brought a bright, ripe fruit flavor that always works well at celebrations.

Vegan-friendly sorbet options

The menu also included a few flavors that gave guests something a little more unexpected. Ube, made from purple yam popular in the Philippines, stood out for both its color and its dessert appeal. Lychee sorbet added a floral, tropical note, while lemon sorbet brought a refreshing tartness from fresh lemon juice and fine zest.

The sorbets were especially useful during service, too. When guests asked for vegan options, we had them ready. That made it easy to accommodate different preferences without needing a separate setup, and it helped make sure everyone had something they could enjoy.

Serving an engagement party at Halifax Hoboken

By the end of the event, we had served more than 100 guests at Halifax Hoboken. The service ran smoothly, the flavor mix worked beautifully for the crowd, and guests were happy to have both classic gelato flavors and dairy-free sorbet options. We were glad to be part of such a special engagement celebration.
