Special Events Ice
If you are preparing to host a special event, you need to think about where you are going to get your ice. While the nearest gas station is a fine option when you are just looking to cool a few drinks at the backyard BBQ, it isn’t the way to make a good impression at your special event. So if you are looking for quality ice, who do you turn to?

Types of Ice
You might be amazed by how many different types of ice there are. No matter what type of ice you need, we are confident that we can offer it to you. Read below about some of the different types of ice we can provide for your special event.
Block Ice
Block ice refers to large blocks of ice, as you would imagine from the name. This type of ice is used to get things cold and keep them that way for a long time. If you have ever seen a genuine ice box, block ice is what it was made for. Due to it being a large, solid mass, it takes a long time to melt, and it can keep food and drink at an ideal temperature for an extended period of time.
Block ice can keep your buffet at a safe temperature, ensure that your seafood is served cold, and even allow you to keep fresh meat out safely so your guests can select their preferred cut. It can also be used in shaved ice machines, allowing you to make your event quite the special treat.
We offer our block ice in 25-pound increments, topping out at 300 pounds. We offer several levels of clarity, including Clinebell ice blocks. If you need ice blocks for any reason, we have you covered.
Ice Sculptures
If you are looking to make your special event stand out from the rest, and ice sculpture is the way to do it. We can offer you large, impressively detailed sculptures as well as small, simple pieces. The smallest ice sculpture we offer is a shot glass. The largest? Well, the sky’s the limit.
Our ice sculptors are true artists. They take a difficult, delicate medium and work it into something enchanting. We can create sculptures from photos, sketches, or create something brand-new for you. We always love a challenge here at Crystal Ice.
Cube, Crushed, and Cocktail Ice
If you have a special event, you will need to keep the drinks flowing—even if they are just soft drinks. And that means you need plenty of ice. Here at Crystal Ice, we have multiple types we can keep you stocked with.
- Cubed Ice: Your typical, squared ice cubes, but we offer them in multiple sizes so you can get the look and cooling you want.
- Crushed Ice: Always fun, and a quick way to cool drinks. This ice helps to give an added layer of interest to your drinks.
- Cocktail Ice: Many cocktail recipes are specific about the type of ice you can use. We can stock you with any type you need.
No matter what type of ice you need, Crystal Ice can provide ice delivery whenever you need it.
