I contacted Ice Cuisine to create a smaller ice sculpture for an engagement party and it turned out perfectly! They're able to create a sculpture that fits your vision and it was reasonably priced. The day I called I had my sketches and my contract sent to me so they are very efficient! The ice sculpture got so many compliments and I was just so thrilled. Holly is the sweetest! Thank you guys!

Best Ice Sculpture in STL! We were referred to Ice Cuisine and are so happy we were! Not only are the employees amazing to work with but the sculpture itself was breath taking. We had them use our company logo and it was the center of our party. Almost every picture taken that night was around the ice. We 100% will be using them for all of our events going forward. They were professional and came back and took it down after our event. Could not be more impressed with this company. Thank you Ice Cuisine!

We offer several packages to fit people's budgets the package she picked she was supposed to return the tray three days after the event and she did not. Therefore she was charge $15 for tray rental, if we don't have Trays we can not help other people with ice carvings because we don't have anything to put the ice in. As it was stated in the contract she signed 6 o'clock was the cut off time to return the tray on the third day.
