Booked for Wedding

Justin has been friendly, professional and quick to respond leading up to our event (my daughter’s wedding). It was pouring with rain on the day and Justin set himself up under the gazebo, standing there for over an hour, remaining cheerful throughout. His service was first class, friendly and helpful, and the ice cream was delicious. The perfect addition to a magical day (despite the rain!!). I would definitely recommend - thanks Justin!

Booked for Wedding

We have booked Justin's beach ice cream for our wedding's evening reception. From start to finish Justin was amazing. He was super responsive, he went that extra mile of contacting and visiting the venue to make sure he is able to deliver the best possible service. Justin has kindly offered the selection of 7 different ice creams of our choice and that included a vegan option, which our vegan guests were raving about. He was on time and he was super easy to communicate to. I had a mango sorbet and it was super refreshing. Overall, it was a huge success, especially bearing in mind it was on a scorching day. I would thoroughly recommend Justin to any outdoor party, not only weddings, as he is reliable and also reasonably priced, and price/quality ratio is excellent. I would definitely book again for our first anniversary party and will recommend to friends and family. Justin and Justin's beach ice cream most certainly deserves more than just 5 stars! Very happy customers

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
