Located in the heart of Devizes, Wiltshire, Garbanzo's will travel throughout Southern England in order to bring a bit of fun to your wedding reception. Both kids and adults alike will just love dipping into the quirky ice-cream tricycle and even choosing sweeties from Garbanzo's quaint and old-fashioned sweet cart. For summery weddings in particular, this company can provide a range of refreshing treats all served from their traditional tricycles, like locally-made ice-cream or strawberries and cream, and even cider!
Not only do Garbanzo's keep your guests' tummies happy, they also supply an extensive range of garden games like giant Jenga and rounders. Kids at your reception will really enjoy playing these games - you might even catch the adults having a go as well! And their quirky postbox is a really lovely way for guests to leave little messages of congratulations for you both when it's all over.
Husband-and-wife team Paul and Rebecca started Garbanzo's Ice Cream Hire in 2012, inspired by Paul's graduation in events management combined with his lifelong passion to set up his own business. Garbanzo's began life as a single ice-cream tricycle, and has since rapidly expanded to stock all manner of tasty treats and fun items that would be perfect for any wedding reception.
These fun, traditional tricycles will not only add an exciting visual element to your celebration, but will also provide an unusual and quirky dessert option. A nattily-attired, friendly and professional attendant, complete with straw boater, will serve award-winning Marshfield Farm ice-cream or sorbet. This ice-cream is made near Bath from organic ingredients, and comes in over 30 flavours.
If you and your guests have a sweet tooth then Garbanzo's sweet cart would make a great addition to your reception. Paul and Rebecca will fill your cart with high-quality confectionery, including classic candies that will whisk you right back to your childhood. Alternatively, if you would prefer to source the sweets yourself, you can hire the cart 'dry' and then fill it with all of your favourites.
Chocolate is universally popular as a special treat, so chocolate fountains are always a winner. Garbanzo's offer you the chance to hire a high-quality Sephra chocolate fountain for your wedding reception. Garbanzo's will provide a range of tasty treats to dip into their delicious Belgian chocolate, from strawberries to profiteroles, fudge to marshmallows, grapes and even Turkish Delight.
For a typically British summer wedding treat, why not offer your guests outstanding locally-sourced strawberries, served with a luxurious helping of cream or ice-cream. Strawberries and cream will be served from Garbanzo's wonderfully traditional tricycle.
A treat for your adult guests, the Cider Tricycle can be stocked with traditional farmhouse scrumpy or modern sparkling varieties. Whether it's a summer or winter wedding, you can enjoy either a real taste of the West Country or a warming cup of mulled cider.
Alongside the delicious traditional sweet treats and beverages offered by Garbanzo's Ice Cream Hire and detailed above, there are a few other fun and entertaining items that you can introduce as novelties and amusement during your wedding celebrations.
This charming ivory cast-iron Royal Mail Postbox is a wonderful way for your wedding guests to send you their individual good wishes. Little messages can be posted into these cute boxes, so when your celebration is over, and even in years to come, you and your now husband or wife can look over these and be reminded of your big day; perhaps sharing it with the next generation.
If you're looking for an alternative form of entertainment during your wedding reception, why not bring your guests together with a few organised games! Children will love Garbanzo's range of large games such as Giant Jenga and Jumbo Connect 4. You can even hire the equipment for sessions of rounders or boules. These games are sure to be a hit with both children and adults alike.

Thanks so much last Saturday! The ice cream went down really well and everyone commented on how much they loved it! You were such a great addition to our special day and will we definitely be recommending you to our friends :) From the moment we first contacted you right up to the day itself you were really helpful, easy to contact and lovely to work with! Thanks again!
Thank you so much for doing the ice cream cart at our wedding. We loved it and the guests that had some really loved it too. The guy that came was so lovely and a few people commented also on how nice he was too so we were really happy with the whole service. Thanks again.
I just wanted to say thank you for doing such an amazing job at my wedding on Saturday, everyone loved the ice cream cart! I am so sorry I didn't get a chance to come over to say hi and thank you in person! I'm sorry I didn't even get to try any ice cream but I'm glad all of our guests did.
Despite being in Borneo on honeymoon Joe and I couldn't wait to write and thank you and your team. From day one when we first inquired about your services right up to the last days before our wedding, your communication and advice has been exceptional. Despite the weather letting us down the service was outstanding, Clare was fantastic, setting up the ice cream inside to avoid the rain. So many guests have commented on the lovely ice cream and service with a smile. The sweet cart was the highlight for many guests and looked gorgeous. Then there was also the post box and games, my friends and family will tell you I like the little details and all your additions were perfect, we even managed to play the outdoor games before the rain set in! I would recommend you to anyone throwing a party or wedding and only wish we could do it all again! Thank you for helping to make our day so perfect.
Thanks so much for making the Sunday the wonderful day it was! Your ice cream was an absolute hit, most people had at least two visits to sample the delicious flavours! You were so friendly and it was such an honour to have you help to make it such a fun day! All our guests were raving about the ice cream, we could not have hoped for more! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need any more feedback, a testimonial or anything else, we will definately recommend you to anyone of our friends looking for a similar service. Thanks again so much!
Dear Paul, I hope this finds you well. I just wanted to email and thank you again for all the work that you put into Saturday - we were so grateful to have you as part of our day! Everyone commented on how amazing the ice cream was (did I detect some surprise extra flavours there??) and your helpful and friendly attitude on the day was amazing. Thank you also for being so easy to deal with in the run up to the day - you made everything so easy and stress-free, and we really appreciate it. Seriously, thank you so much - you have been wonderful. All the best,
Thank you so much for bringing your beautiful bicycle and wonderful ice-cream to our wedding! It was such a talking point amongst our guests and a huge hit with the kids! From first contact, I was really impressed with your €œcan do" attitude, nothing was too much trouble. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in the future. I just wish id had more time to sample the ice cream myself!
