GELATO CARTS FOR HIRE

Little Sky gelato carts are perfect for every occasion including weddings, engagements, birthdays, christenings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, plus school, corporate and other events.  We love to scoop up happiness to make your event special and offer six different Little Sky dairy and/or dairy free flavours of your choosing. Additionally, we also offer a custom flavour option as one of your six flavours. There’s two sizes and styles of carts - a smaller, more traditional cart and a larger, more modern cart with a canopy. Further details, package prices and frequently asked questions can be found below.

Cart delivery and pick up within 15km of Brighton is included in the package price. For travel over 20km, a travel charge will be provided at the time of enquiry.  Public Holiday and Sunday surcharges apply.

Custom created & named flavours

Looking for something different to make your event extra special? Little Sky can help you create a custom made and perfectly named flavour for your event.  For weddings, it could be flavour that reminds you of where you both met and for children’s birthdays, the flavour could celebrate their favourite sweet treat.  For corporates, as an example, for The Body Shop we created a Buttermilk Vanilla with Strawberry & Coconut that was inspired by their range of beautiful body butters.  Bespoke flavour costs are dependent on the complexity of the flavour and are quoted on an individual basis. Unique names for existing flavours are complimentary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we taste your gelato before booking?

Yes!  We love to share all our flavours with you prior to your event so you can choose the perfect selection.  Simply arrange a time with us to come into our shop at 332 Bay Street, Brighton.

Do you have flavours that suit people with dietary requirements?

Little Sky’s flavours include dairy, gluten and nut free options.  However, please note that there may be traces of allergens present as all flavours are created in the one kitchen.   We recommend that anaphylactic (highly allergic) people not to consume our gelato. 

Does the cart need power?

No and yes - our bigger cart is self-powered while our smaller cart does require access to a power supply.

How much room do you need?

Both our smaller and larger carts require an area of approximately 2m x 2m (the larger cart dimensions are 190cm long x 95cm wide and the smaller cart is 127cm long x 100cm wide), so we can move around, put up the flavour board and make sure everything runs like a dream.  

Can the cart fit through a standard sized doorway?

No, a standard doorway is 80cm wide and our carts are 95-100cm wide (easy maths!).

Can the cart go up or down stairs?

No, that would be very bad and unsafe for our staff and lovely (and heavy) carts.

Is the pricing for the smaller and larger carts the same?

Yes.

Is there a charge a travel fee?

Cart delivery and pick up is included in the packaged price within 15km of Brighton 3188. For travel over 15km a charge will be quoted at the time of enquiry. 

Do your staff have a Working with Children Check?

Yes, everyone of them, even the van driver.

Do you offer Kosher?

Yes, we work together with Kosher Australia and can provide dairy and dairy-free flavours.  An additional fee and a minimum of 8 weeks is required - please contact us for details.

Is a deposit required?

Yes, a 50% deposit is required at the time of booking, and the remainder is due 4 weeks prior to the event.

Can you hold a date without a deposit?

No, a 50% deposit is required to secure your booking so we don’t disappoint anyone.

Is the deposit refundable if I have to cancel my booking?

Deposits are fully refundable minus a $40 administration fee if you cancel 8 weeks before your event.  After this period the 50% deposit is non-refundable.

What happens to my booking if I need to reschedule my event?

Your booking will be transferred at no cost to the new date if it is free, ie not already booked, if you provide a minimum of 8 weeks notice.   For notice of less than 8 weeks a re-booking fee will apply depending on the notice period provided.

What time should I book my cart for if the event has a meal or speeches?

We recommend booking the timing so serving starts after lunch or dinner, and after (not during) any planned speeches.

What happens if the event is outside and rainy or windy weather is predicted?

We will need a sheltered position under cover as we can’t operate the cart in the rain or strong winds.

When do you arrive at an event?

We arrive approximately 30 – 45 minutes prior to your booked serving time in order to unload, position and set up the cart.

Can you arrive earlier so not to interfere with the event proceedings, for example speeches etc?

Yes, we can drop off earlier in the day at an agreed time.  An additional fee will apply, please contact us for details.

Are your cart package prices negotiable?

No, please understand our prices are fixed and carefully considered.  We are a small business that only uses quality ingredients and we always pay our staff fairly.

I want to book! What happens next?

Great news!  Please send us an email and we will get back in touch within 24 hours to confirm details and send you a booking form.

“I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible gelato you provided at our wedding. . .

The gelato you served was nothing short of exceptional. Sam, myself, and all of our guests were blown away by how delicious the gelato was. We have received countless compliments about choosing to have gelato over a traditional cake, and it's a decision we would make over and over again.

We look forward to hopefully crossing paths again in the future and enjoying more of your delectable gelato. Thank you once again for making our wedding day even more special with your amazing treats.”
