My partner and I wanted something other than cake for dessert at our wedding. We discovered Dipsy Desserts at Indie Wed Fest in Chicago and contacted them for a quote the following... week. Meghan replied very quickly and provided a quote and additional information. Their pricing was a little more than a wedding cake but included the unique experience for our guests to order customized ice cream treats from their vintage cart.
Pricing was based on the number of guests and when our guest list turned out to be smaller than we initially expected, Meghan gladly adjusted the pricing about a month before our wedding. Around that same time, we emailed Meghan our topping choices.
When it came to toppings, I knew that I wanted cookie dough as an option. In the email I mentioned that we prefer "soft cookie dough (like Culver's) over hard cookie dough (like Dairy Queen)". More on that in a moment...
On the day of the wedding, James showed up early in the day to set-up the cart and worked with our venue to find an appropriate indoor location due to rain. The vintage cart was an exciting hint to our guests about the treats to come. James came back just before the end of dinner as scheduled and was up and ready to serve when we finished our first dances. Our guests enjoyed the ice cream and gave us many compliments. Meghan and James also provided a beautifully handwritten chalkboard menu board.
When I went to get my ice cream bar, of course I asked for cookie dough as one of my toppings. James congratulated us and told me that when they received my email with such a specific request about the type of cookie dough, they decided to actually contact Culver's and were able to buy the exact cookie dough we wanted!
Overall, working with James and Meghan was easy, the ice cream was delicious, and the experience for our guests and for us was delightful and memorable. We highly recommend Dipsy Desserts for all of your catered ice cream needs, especially if you are looking for a unique addition to your wedding!
