We had the joy of catering an unforgettable outdoor celebration in Marlboro, New Jersey with our artisan gelato cart — a refreshing alternative to traditional ice cream stations. Hosted under the summer sky, the celebration was filled with laughter, love, and over 150 scoops of handcrafted gelato.
Gelato Cart Setup for an Engagement Celebration
We served guests from 5:30 to 7:30 PM at a beautiful outdoor celebration in Marlboro, NJ. Thanks to our mobile dessert cart, lines stayed short and the atmosphere relaxed. Parked at the center of the backyard, the cart offered guests a sweet, interactive break between toasts. With friendly staff and a clean, elegant setup, our gelato station quickly became the photo-worthy highlight of the late-afternoon celebration.
Custom Flavor Lineup
The couple selected a custom six-flavor lineup that delighted every guest:
- Dark Chocolate
- Mango Sorbet (vegan)
- Pistachio
- Espresso
- Cookies and Cream
- Salted Caramel
Each scoop was served with care using dedicated utensils, and guests could top their gelato with classic add-ons like chocolate sauce, rainbow sprinkles & amaretti crunch. Guests agreed it was the standout treat of the night.
Why isn't our pistachio gelato bright green?
Bright green pistachio ice creams are usually colored with artificial dyes — a nod to the once-dyed shells used when pistachios were picked by hand. Today, we roast California pistachios on-site for a deeper, more authentic flavor. That process naturally gives our pistachio gelato a greenish-brown hue. No dyes, no additives — just pure pistachio flavor, the way it should be.

Why Gelato is the Perfect Engagement Party Dessert
Gelato brings joy and elegance to any celebration. Our gelato isn't just ice cream; it's a culinary experience guests rave about. It's interactive, refreshing, and photogenic — making it a favorite among wedding and engagement planners throughout New Jersey. Unlike standard ice cream, gelato is smoother, denser, and made with less air — offering a more flavorful and luxurious experience.
