Dessert Carts for New Jersey Weddings: Gelato, Espresso and More
Your guests will forget the centerpieces. They'll remember the gelato cart.
A dessert cart gives a wedding a moment of its own: a striped awning, polished gold domes, a server scooping to order and a line of guests who suddenly have something to talk about. Whether you're marrying in Hoboken, Jersey City, Cape May or anywhere in between, it's one of the easiest ways to make the night feel personal.
Which cart is right for your wedding?
Gelato. Our signature. Up to four seasonal flavors, including dairy-free sorbet, with toppings included and cones available as an extra. Perfect for a summer cocktail hour or as a lighter alternative to a plated dessert.
Espresso. A barista-run espresso bar after dinner keeps the dance floor full. Lattes, cold brew and matcha, with tea, decaf, and oat or almond milk available as extras.
Churros. Fried to order and served warm. A crowd favorite as a late-night snack.
Hot chocolate. Classic, dark and white chocolate with a toppings bar, made for fall and winter weddings.
Cannoli boxes, macarons and crêpes. For couples who want something a little different.
Some couples pair two carts, like gelato and espresso, so there is something for every guest from cocktail hour to the last dance. We also have gluten-free and nut-free options.
Make it yours
The cart is part of your décor, so we dress it for your day. We can add your monogram, your names and your wedding date to the cart, match the styling to your palette, and serve from personalized cups and signage. It photographs beautifully, which your photographer will appreciate. Personalization needs 10 days before the wedding; shorter timelines are often possible with a rush fee.
Timing your dessert cart
Think about when guests will enjoy it most:
Cocktail hour: gelato or espresso while photos are being taken.
In place of, or next to, the cake: a gelato or macaron cart as the dessert course.
Late night: churros or hot chocolate when the dancing peaks.
Every package includes two hours of service, a uniformed server, and full setup and breakdown, so your planner and venue have one less thing to manage. All the cart needs is access to power. We're fully insured, and certificates of insurance are available to venues on request.
