    Ice cream is way better than cake!

    So glad we went with ice cream for our hot July wedding! The ice cream was so delicious, provided the perfect break from the heat, and Derek Smiley was so helpful in figuring out how to transport that much ice cream that far in that heat! 10/10 would recommend!

    Smiley's Ice Cream's reply:

    Thank you, Nikki, for allowing us to make your wedding day a little sweeter. We're glad you and your guests enjoyed the ice cream and we thank you for taking the time to share your experience with others! We wish you and your husband the best as you venture through this new and exciting phase of life together.

    Delicious Ice Cream; Unique Wedding Experience

    My husband and I love ice cream and often find wedding cake so-so, so we were thrilled to find Smiley's! It was a breeze to work with Derek and he even came in on his off day so that we could do a tasting and meet face-to-face. We loved supporting his family operation and it was a great value for the price. Our guests (many of whom we'd consider ice cream connoisseurs!) RAVED about the ice cream and loved the experience. Derek arrived on time and was able to serve people quickly despite the high demand. We highly recommend selecting Smiley's for your wedding dessert!

    We love Smiley's!

    We LOVED Smiley's! Probably the best vendor decision we made. Guests loved it. SO easy, nice, and stress free to work with. We had 10 flavors and it was so delicious. Smiley's was truly one of our favorite parts of our wedding!! Book them!

    Smiley's Ice Cream's reply:

    Erin, it was such a joy to serve our ice cream at your reception! Thank you so much for this thoughtful review and sharing your experience with future brides who might be wanting ice cream served on their special day. Please try and come back to our shop on occasion and let us know if we can do anything help make future anniversaries even more special.
    Best!

    Adding ice cream to our event was over the top. For a June wedding, everyone was able enjoy a cool treat (or in some people's case treats :-P). Derek provided an excellent service and gave us many (almost too many) flavors to choose from. He even made sure we had ice cream waiting for us after the wedding! I would highly recommend using Smiley's for any event! Their ice cream is hands down the best around!

    Our wedding plan grew from a single kernel: ice cream. We must have ice cream. We booked Smiley's Ice Cream before we even had a venue. We conducted an ice cream tasting. (We did not conduct a tasting for the caterer.) If you're getting married in the area and you want ice cream at your wedding -- and you should -- then Derek Smiley is your man. Not only is his ice cream fresh, delicious, and plentiful, he is a delight to work with. He takes ice cream seriously, as it should be taken. We forgot spoons for the tasting. He came with spoons and extra ice cream -- free of charge -- for my sister-in-law's birthday. We requested eight flavors for the reception. He came with two extra.

    We could not be happier. Book Smiley's Ice Cream for your ice cream needs.

    Thank you Peter for your very thoughtful review! It was a joy making your special day a little sweeter!

    Smiley's Ice Cream was a fantastic addition to our wedding menu. Instead of cake, we chose to have an ice cream bar complete with 5 different flavors, several toppings, and sprinkles in our wedding colors to boot! Derek was extremely flexible in coordinating his arrival and set up with the rest of our reception dinner. He was willing to make sure we had exactly what we wanted in every avenue of service including flavor choices, topping selection, even the bowls and utensils! Everything went off without a hitch and the ice cream was hit with our wedding guests! Definitely recommend Smiley's Ice Cream to anyone wanting to do something a little different for their wedding!

    My hubby and I are not huge cake fans, so we knew we wanted something different at our reception, and we could not have made a better choice with Smiley's Ice Cream! The ice cream is made on site at your reception venue and is fresh and delicious. All of my guests loved it! Derek is super easy to work with, professional, flexible and eager to please. You can't go wrong with Smiley's Ice Cream!

    The ice cream was amazing! We asked for a new flavor and the made it! My guest loved their truck. Derek was great to talk to.
