Ice Delivery in Santa Monica — Fast, Reliable, 24/7
From the Pier to Palisades Park, Crystal Ice keeps Santa Monica cold. Block ice, dry ice, cocktail ice, sculptures, and snow — delivered fast, set up right, every time.
Proudly Serving Santa Monica Since 1956
Crystal Ice is family-owned and operated. We’ve kept Santa Monica’s events, restaurants, and homes supplied with quality ice for more than 70 years.
Whether you’re catering an event near the Third Street Promenade, running a bar off Ocean Avenue, or hosting a wedding at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, we deliver exactly what you need — when you need it.
We serve:
- Homeowners and private parties
- Event planners and caterers
- Restaurants and bars
- Film and TV production companies
No order is too big. No event is too small.
Block Ice
Solid, dense, and slow-melting. Block ice lasts far longer than cubes — ideal for buffet displays, seafood bars, drink stations, and outdoor events.
- Sizes from 25 to 300 lbs, in 25-lb increments
- Crystal-clear or opaque, including premium Clinebell blocks
- Perfect for ice luges, shaved ice, and special effects
Dry Ice
Dry ice needs careful handling — and we handle it for you. Our trained team places it safely and walks you through proper safety steps before leaving.
Sizes from small chunks to industrial slabs
- Great for special effects, fog, and long-term cooling
- Safe handling guidance is included with every delivery
Cube, Crushed & Cocktail Ice
Presentation matters. We match the ice to your menu and keep it ready for rapid delivery.
- Cubed: Big rocks, classic cubes, and half cubes for soft drinks and cocktails
- Crushed: Chills fast and fills glasses beautifully for displays and specialty drinks
- Cocktail: Shaved, crescent, gourmet, and specialty shapes for craft cocktails
Ice Delivery

You could run to the gas station. But for a busy restaurant, a packed venue, or a major event, “good enough” isn’t good enough.
We deliver from three local docks — Long Beach, Gardena, and South Park — so we’re never far from Santa Monica.
- 24/7 emergency service: Ran out mid-event? Call us anytime
- Fast turnaround: Delivery in as little as 1–90 minutes
- High capacity: Up to 40,000 lbs in a single delivery
Our delivery is full-service. When our truck arrives, our team will:
- Unload your order
- Place the ice exactly where you need it
- Handle any special setup or equipment
- Double-check everything before leaving
Need storage? We offer ice merchandisers, freezer trucks, and freezer trailers for events of any length. No long-term contracts required.
Snow Productions
A white Christmas in Santa Monica? Absolutely. We transform any space into a winter wonderland — any time of year.
Our artificial snow is made from purified water and a safe nucleating agent, crystallized into authentic, fluffy flakes.
Popular uses include:
- Sledding hills and snowman building
- Snow parties and holiday scenes
- Photo shoots and social media content
- Film, TV, and commercial productions
Every setup includes fast delivery and on-site support. Picture real snow falling over Palisades Park — we make it happen.
Ice Sculptures
Want your event to stop guests in their tracks? Add a sculpture they won’t forget.
We carve to your exact specifications — bring us a photo, a sketch, or just an idea. Our artists use traditional carving, molds, and computer-guided lasers for flawless detail.
- Custom logos, centerpieces, and serving platters
- Crystal-clear ice, with optional color or LED lighting
- Refrigerated transport and professional on-site setup
Perfect for weddings at the Civic Auditorium, corporate launches, and events at venues like the Miles Playhouse. Average delivery is 60–90 minutes, though elaborate designs should be ordered ahead.
