Is there anything more joyful—and more Italian—than a scoop of artisanal gelato under the Tuscan sun? Whether you’re planning a rustic countryside celebration or a refined villa affair, gelato is a deliciously charming way to add personality, playfulness, and tradition to your wedding day.

At Unique Events in Tuscany, we believe that even the sweetest details can become unforgettable memories. Including gelato in your wedding is more than a dessert choice—it’s a moment of delight your guests will talk about long after the last bite.


Can you picture it?

A vintage gelato cart rolls into your garden reception. Flavors like pistachio, lemon, and fig beckon your guests. The sun is setting. Laughter, clinking glasses, and the scent of florals fill the air…


1. The Gelato Cart Moment

This is by far the most iconic (and Instagrammable!) way to serve gelato at your wedding. We collaborate with local gelaterie that bring vintage carts directly to your venue, staffed by charming gelatai ready to scoop a curated menu of flavors.

Perfect moments for a gelato cart:

  • After the ceremony, as a refreshing surprise
  • During cocktail hour
  • As a fun alternative to cake or late-night snack

You can also style the cart with floral garlands, signage, or even custom cups with your initials.


2. Signature Gelato Flavors Inspired by You

Make it personal by working with local artisans to create a custom flavor or mini tasting menu. Think:

  • A nod to your story (like limoncello if you got engaged on the Amalfi Coast)
  • Family-inspired recipes (like ricotta and fig from Nonna’s kitchen)
  • Seasonal picks like strawberry in spring or chestnut in fall

We can even create a “his & hers” (or “hers & hers” / “his & his”) gelato bar with your favorite flavors side by side.


3. Gelato as Wedding Favors

Send your guests home with a sweet memory. While real gelato doesn’t travel, you can gift artisanal gelato-inspired products:

  • Mini jars of gourmet toppings (like salted caramel or hazelnut sauce)
  • Locally made biscotti to pair with gelato
  • Custom gelato spoons with engraved names or dates
  • Personalized packaging of a voucher for a local gelateria (great for weddings in town!)

It’s a charming way to continue the story after the wedding ends.


4. Gelato-Inspired Dessert Tables

Want to skip the traditional cake? Or maybe you’re planning a relaxed, countryside celebration where guests can wander and mingle? A gelato station with toppings like fresh fruit, chocolate drizzle, and amaretti crumble lets everyone create their own perfect bite.

Bonus: we can coordinate matching aesthetics between your florals, tablescape, and dessert table for a seamless look.


5. A Sweet End to the Night

Imagine your guests dancing under the stars, and just when they start to feel warm… out comes a gelato tray with mini cones or cups passed around the dance floor.

It’s the unexpected delights—like a final scoop of creamy espresso gelato—that make your day unforgettable.
