OWNERS
Situated in Grand Rapids, MI, Semifreddo is a catering service that offers a unique combination of delicious food stations for your wedding, featuring both handcrafted frozen treats and savory bites. Our specialty is semifreddo, a lighter, fluffier alternative to traditional ice cream, made from scratch using locally sourced dairy and the finest ingredients. We also offer artisanal baguette sandwiches, perfect for a cocktail hour snack or a late-night bite. Made with premium ingredients, these savory sandwiches provide the perfect balance to our sweet semifreddo offerings.
Founded by husband-and-wife team Jordan and Emily Shirk, our locally owned Grand Rapids business brings a personal touch to every event. For your wedding, we add an extra touch of charm with our stylish cart and trailer. These are more than just food stations—they're a vibe! With vintage flair and an inviting design, they create an Instagram-worthy element for your celebration while serving both sweet and savory treats your guests will love. Whether it's a refreshing dessert during cocktail hour or a satisfying sandwich for late-night indulgence, our cart and trailer deliver a memorable experience that will have your guests raving long after the day is over.

Semifreddo was a fantastic dessert choice for our daughter’s wedding. Our guests enjoyed the flavor choices along with a dairy free option. Our family and friends are still talking...
about how delicious it was. Added bonus, the dessert cart was a stylish addition to the reception.
The owners of Semifreddo were easy to work with and quick to answer any questions. Planning your daughter’s wedding can feel overwhelming, they made the dessert part stress free. We would definitely work with them again.
