PRIVATE PARTIES and WEDDINGS
If you are ordering ice sculpture for a private event or a wedding - you can ask for
frosted or clear ice.
Frosted ice blocks cost less, and the frosting can be used for interesting creative effects.
On this picture you can see that parts of the sculpture are not transparent - that's the frosting inside the ice block. Coors Light picture on top of this page is clear ice.
Most of the pictures on "PHOTOS' page are frosted ice sculptures.
We can't insert any logos or photos into frosted ice - they will not be visible!
If you want 100% clear ice (especially for a wedding, where perfect pictures are a must) - we can sure do that, but it will cost more as Chris will have to drive out-of-town to get the clear blocks and they are pricy!
Frosted ice sculptures for private/non-profit parties are 300$ and up, clear ice is 400$ and up. Delivery, lighting and ice-trays are included for events in New Orleans. If you are located outside NOLA-metro - there will be additional transportation charges, we also may not be able to deliver sculptures outside NOLA metro on weekends when Chris have several deliveries every night ( but you can send somebody with a truck to pick it up)
Meeting with a client and deposit is required.

ICE SCULPTURES "BUILT TO LAST"
This fleur-de-lis sculpture was carved at 4 pm and delivered at 5.30 pm. This picture was taken at 11 pm in the end of the indoor party. You can see how the sculpture looks 7 hours after it was carved - it has melted very little, and still looks great.
Jazzy Ice Sculptures are 10-12" thick and have details on the sides - they are truly ICE SCULPTURES, not just thin flat "ice-signs". This helps to keep the sculpture steady, less likely to fall down or be knocked off by guests, and it also make them melt slower and looks great longer, even in hot temperatures. They last about 4-6 hours in summer, and for 10+ hours in winter, except for writing, which starts melting off within an hour or two.
TV APPEARANCES/"HOLLYWOOD SOUTH"
This is Chris with Anne - WGNO anchor on News With a Twist "Beat the Heat" special. He got 2d place in "10 best things to do in New Orleans during summer heat" and carved several ice sculptures and an ice helmet for the show under the oaks in City Park.
This is his return to TV after Katrina, he used to do a lot of TV work before the storm, and is very grateful to come back on the blue screen...He was a featured extra on HBO Treme and is registered with several casting agencies as an actor.
Chris is always ready for TV shows/movies, documentaries about New Orleans artists, rebuilding after Katrina etc etc. He is a great story-teller and a " local character".
