What people are saying about us

Jenni and her Sherpa’licious van were truly fantastic on our wedding day. We could not recommend Jenni & Ice Cream highly enough. The ice cream was so delicious, and we had so many great flavors to choose from. Jenni is an absolutely wonderful person who brought such a fun energy to our wedding day. She went the extra mile to ensure our guests were served ice cream in the most scoop-tacular way! Thank you, Jenni.

Katy Mulqueen

We booked Jenni as an extra-special treat for our wedding. Jenni has been absolutely amazing and gone above and beyond for us. We loved having her share our special day with us; the ice cream was amazing, and all the special little touches were awesome! We had very happy guests! You were a big hit! Jenni also took some time to snap some photos for us and sent them to us, and we loved them all. From the planning, the communication, and all the little extras, you truly have been the best. I would highly recommend Jenni to anyone looking for that extra-special, classy service. Love, the new Mrs. and Mrs. Cleaver xx
