The Jones wedding was so fun! The bride and groom chose to have us set up next to the bar so that the adults could take their treat over to the bartender for a fun addition 😉 but don’t worry, we were enjoyed plenty by the kids too; shaved ice is a fun treat for ANY age!

And just look at that beautiful bride enjoying her wedding cake shaved ice! 🍧🤩 Congratulations again to the Joneses! 🤍
