“We had the Icecream Truck at our wedding recently and it was quite honestly the hit of the entire wedding! The ice creams tasted wonderful, and the Truck looked so cute parked up under the trees. I can quite honestly say it was one of the best decisions we made, and all our guests raved about it. Daisy was fabulous, and even stayed behind a little longer when we experienced a slight hitch in the kitchen, which delayed the food. The icecreams were enjoyed by young and old alike…” –Tracey Ashworth
