Here are two tips for couples who'd like to serve gelato at their wedding reception.
They should consider using a gelato cart hire service
Whilst it might be possible for a couple to have their caterer provide gelato, those who'd like to serve this sweet treat at their wedding should consider renting a gelato cart instead. The first reason for this is that a cart that's specially designed for storing and serving gelato can keep this chilled dessert at the perfect temperature. This is important, as gelato needs to be served at a slightly higher temperature than ice cream to ensure it has a soft texture that's pleasant to eat. If the gelato were to be stored in, and served from some generic cooler tubs provided by the caterer of a wedding, its texture might end up being a bit too solid to be enjoyable.
The second reason is that serving this dessert from a cart will add an extra touch of whimsy to the wedding reception. Most gelato carts that are available to rent for weddings and other special occasions are beautifully designed, with colourful and pretty exteriors. The aesthetically-pleasing design of this type of cart could not only make the experience of getting some gelato more fun for the guests but could also allow the couple to utilise the cart as a form of decor, which will make their venue look even lovelier.
They should book a trained person to serve the gelato
If possible, couples who'd like to serve gelato at their weddings should book a trained person to serve it, rather than, for example, allowing their guests to serve themselves or asking a friend to do this job for them. If they rent a gelato cart, the company they rent it from may either be able to provide a trained person to serve this dessert or might be able to help the couple find a professional that they could hire.
The reason for this is that a trained person will know how to serve the gelato in a hygienic way that won't put those who eat it at risk of getting ill. They'll understand, for example, how to keep the cart clean and avoid contaminating the stored gelato. The second reason is that a person who has experience with serving gelato will know how to, balance scoops of different flavours on top of one another, on a cone, in a way that will prevent the scoops from toppling off. This will prevent food waste and ensure that the guests don't have to keep returning to the cart to top up their cones.
