I love, love, love shaved ice and I really want to have it at the wedding.  I heard that there are a couple of shaved ice trucks out there and there are others that will set-up their equipment on a regular table.  If any of you had or is having shaved ice at your wedding, can you please let me know what company you are using?
Thanks!!

    What a fun idea!!!  Definitely would be a great "midnight snack" to cool off from dancing! I don't know of any trucks but if you google it and then maybe call a few places they can probably help you out or reccomend some places to try!

    You read my mind! If we have any extra funds in our budget - I'm totally going to splurge on this! I was thinking of just renting one from the party rental places, but I would want a person manning the station as well - not just the rental.

    I love this idea. We didn't have it, but we did pass sorbet cones as our late night snack.

    You could call Waiola's or Shimazu (local shops in Honolulu) to see if you can rent their services for a couple hours.

    Waiola's -- /> (808) 949-2269
    Shimazu -- /> couldn't find a phone number, sorry!

    My fiancee's sister had Waiola's come a few years ago to the Royal Hawaiian to do shave ice during the cocktail hour, since it was hot.

    I am planning to do the same and have shave ice for cocktail hour...

    I would recommend it as a cocktail hour item, because that's when the guests will really appreciate it, since it will probably be the hottest at that time of day.  Nighttime snack is fine, but Hawaiian nights are usually more breezy and cool...

    Good luck!
