ICE CREAM STATION

Our tabletop ice cream crocks are the perfect way to serve our handcrafted ice cream to a medium gathering or a crowd! Great for larger events, like WEDDINGS, LARGE CORPORATE EVENTS, and CHURCH GROUPS or medium sized gatherings like TEACHER APPRECIATION OR SMALLER CORPORATE EVENTS. These three-gallon crocks can keep your ice cream frozen for up to four hours indoors, or up to three hours outdoors (not recommended or guaranteed when temperature is above 90 degrees). Each crock holds one flavor and serves 60-75 people! You won’t find a better dessert for this price – it comes out to about $2.00 per person!
Add baked goods, toppings, and sauces to make it a sundae bar! Serving utensils, cups and spoons can also be added.
This station can be a self-service station that is picked up by you at no charge or a full-service station with a scooper that is delivered and picked up from the event location.
Guests using the self-service option are required to pick up on the date selected and return the crocks within 48 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions about Event Catering
Q: How do I book Local Creamery to serve ice cream at my event?
A: First choose which ice cream serving option is right for you from the options above. Then head over to our booking portal HERE and select your option and your date. All you need to do to reserve your date is a $100 + tax, non-refundable deposit.
Q: What if my date changes?
A: Your deposit is transferable if you change your event date. However, it is dependent on if we have the new date available. We can always switch serving options. For example, if you booked our ice cream cooler, and it is not available on your new date we can switch to the ice cream station.
Q: How far do you travel?
A: We can travel up to 60 miles, round trip, from Local Creamery.
Q: Is there a travel fee? When does this fee apply?
A: For deliveries within a 10 mile radius (20 miles round trip), there is a $50 delivery fee. For deliveries outside of a 10 mile radius (20 miles round trip) from our shop, we charge a mileage fee of $0.60 a mile for all miles driven there and back after the 20 miles roundtrip.
Q: Is self-service booking always an option?
A: Yes, for our ice cream cooler and our ice cream crocks.
Q: How many scoops can your event staff serve in an hour?
A: From our Ice Cream Station our staff can scoop 60 scoops per staff member present. If you need more than 60 scoops served in an hour, then there will be an extra fee of $30 per hour for each extra event staff needed.
Q: How do I know how many servings to serve at my event?
A: We recommend ordering 20% less scoops than the amount of people you expect. The sad reality is that not everyone will eat ice cream (shocking, we know!). You will be pre-paying for the ice cream for your event so in an effort not to leave a lot of waste and not over-charging you, we recommend 20% less. This means if you were having a 500 person event you would want to order 400 scoops.
Q: What happens with leftover ice cream after my event?
A: Good news: It’s yours! We hope you don’t have a lot of uneaten ice cream, but in the case that you do, it’s yours to keep! Because you prepay for all the ice cream, anything that isn’t eaten is yours to take home. We don’t think you’ll mind that extra dessert for a little while.
*Please have containers and a cooler or freezer available to store any ice cream left over after your event.
Q: How long can you stay at my event?
A: We can party with you as long as you want! There is an hourly rental fee on all of our events so you’ll want to keep that in mind. Depending on the size of your event and which of our event options you choose, we recommend between 1-2 hours. This is a question that’s best answered on a case by case basis with our owner, Brooke.
Q: How do I select the flavors for my event?
A: This might be the most fun part! Once you have booked your event and paid the deposit, you are welcome to come to the shop and try every flavor in our case! Yep, that’s right, you can taste all of them! We recommend making an appointment with Brooke at a time when the shop is less busy so we can answer all your questions and finalize your flavors. Because our flavors change, we recommend making this appointment around 2-3 weeks out from your event.
Q: Do you offer a sundae bar?
A: Yes! A sundae bar can be added to your catering for an additional $2.00 per person. The sundae bar includes your choice of 2 sauces (chocolate, caramel or peanut butter sauce) and 3 toppings (sprinkles, mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, Oreos, pecans, gummy bears, or whipped cream).
Our house-made waffle cones are another delicious addition at $1.50 each.
And don’t forget about our house made brownies, $3.00 each, and chocolate chip cookies, $2.50 each.
Cancellation policy
We ask that you please reschedule or cancel at least 2 weeks before the beginning of your event.
There is a $100 cancellation fee.
"We’ve been waiting for Local Creamery to open and are so glad we came here to try it! First local ice cream joint with 6 dairy flavor options that exceeded my expectation. They also have a vegan waffle cone option and can turn any of these 6 flavors into a vegan shake.
Interior is clean and spacious with a ton of board games and comfy seating.
I highly recommend everyone to come bring their family here.🍨🍦"
