Annette is as lovely and sweet as her delicious ice cream! We hired Dolce Darling for my daughter and son's joint 3 and 6 year old birthday party with around 40 guests. The party w...
as supposed to be outside at a park, but with last minute dreary weather, we ended up having to move the time and location. Even though she had another event that evening, she was so flexible with us and still showed up on time and with all of the awesome toppings and ice cream! She even bought stickers to add to the ice cream cups that went with our party theme :) All of my guests were so impressed by the Dolce Darling ice cream cart and expressed wanting to hire her for their next event. I certainly will be!
Incredible Wedding Desserts by Annette at Dolce Darling!
I can’t even begin to describe how amazing Annette from Dolce Darling made our wedding dessert experience! From the hand-p...
iped cannoli cart to the affogato station, everything was a huge hit with our guests. The desserts were not only delicious but beautifully presented.
The cannoli cart was such a fun touch—at one point, the girls were piping the cannolis right on the dance floor! Talk about top-tier service. It was such a unique and interactive experience, and our guests couldn’t get enough.
And let's talk about the taste—everything was out of this world! The flavors were incredible, and each dessert was perfectly made. It was clear that Annette and her team put so much care and attention into each treat.
The communication and customer service were also amazing. Annette made everything so easy and stress-free, and her professionalism was second to none. She really went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect.
If you want a wedding dessert experience that’s fun, delicious, and unforgettable, I highly recommend Annette from Dolce Darling. She definitely made our big day even sweeter!
Annette from Dolce Darling is very sweet, kind, and great to work with! We hired Dolce Darling for our wedding dessert because we aren’t big fans of cake, and her gelato cart was t...
he perfect choice. We chose three flavors (vanilla, peach cobbler amaretto, and mango sorbet), and our guests were so happy and satisfied. Many got second servings! In addition to the gelato, Annette brought espresso to make affogatos (which was amazing and delicious) and assorted toppings/sauces. She even offered to bring other toppings if we had any specific requests.
We also loved that Dolce Darling had an add-on coffee bar since many of our guests enjoy night time coffee. She’s self-sufficient, so she brings her own cart set-up for gelato/sorbet and tables for the toppings/coffee. Annette provided AMAZING service, and we’re incredibly grateful to have had her on our wedding day.
Dolce Darling was one of the highlights of our wedding reception! Our guests raved about the gelato and the freshly piped cannolis. From our first conversation with Annette, we fel...
t how much she cares about providing her clients with a special experience. She was so excited to be a part of our wedding and went above and beyond to make everything perfect!
