Careful positioning of your ice cream sellers around where key activities are taking place will greatly enhance your event and provide event goers with easy access to ice creams during any interludes in your event program of activities. Try to provide where possible shady flat areas with adequate space for queuing customers, litter collection and perhaps an area where people may sit, using straw bails as seats is a possible idea to consider.

Determining how many ice cream sellers to book for your event depends largely upon the amount of people you anticipate to attend, the type of ice cream being sold (hard or soft ice cream) and the capabilities of each ice cream seller. Many professional mobile ice cream sellers are geared and experienced to handle large crowd sizes independently, so select a suitable business who will be able to advise you on how many vans will be needed.

It's advisable to book key event services such as ice creams vans as early as possible (several months prior to the event) to avoid last minute disappointments. Pitch fees.  Organisers of very small events tend not to charge a pitch fee and may have to pay the ice cream sellers expenses, medium sized event pitch fees are charged by either a fixed rate or percentage of sales and larger events will often tender out concessions.

Useful notes. If you're planning to hire an ice cream seller for your summer wedding, make inquiries as early as possible and expect possible higher fees during the peak summer months and summer events season. Food safety. Every mobile ice cream business is required by law to be registered with their own local council food hygiene and food safety department and be able to provide you with evidence of when the ice cream van or ice cream  unit was last inspected. Insurance. Public liability insurance cover is also a legal requirement that must be in place and evidence provided.
