We attended the Berghoff catering roundtable tasting and learned a lot about this infamous organization including how sustainable they are in working with local farmers to provide their ingredients. In addition, their whole team top down knows everything about the organization from the kitchen to the client. The passion they have is outstanding and if i were seeking an event caterer, they would be my #1 call. Below is the tasting menu which was served to us during the tasting. Everything below is perfectly proportioned and tasty, however, the “stand out” for me was the Bacon Wrapped Chorizo Stuffed Date Skewer!!

Our ice bars are designed and sculpted to your exact specifications. We’ve made ice bars for everything from private parties to new product introductions. With our in-house technology we can freeze almost anything in our crystal clear ice blocks. We can add products and advertising messages or include a perfectly cut corporate logo. We can design and engineer almost anything you need. (An average bar is approximately 8 feet long and 45 inches tall). Contact us for a consultation.

An ice luge is an ice sculpture that is designed to chill beverages while traveling through the ice. Ice luges are entertaining additions to any party. We design our luges in two ways…liquids may be poured and slide down directly on cut trails created on the surface of the ice. These work perfectly for shorter events. For a longer events we can freeze clear vinyl tubes inside the ice. You can pour through them using funnels at the top.We can create a unique luge just for you, or you may want to choose from our many popular designs.

Man, A Chainsaw And
A Block Of Ice…

these are the tools that created the oldest and largest ice sculpture company in the Midwest.

In 1980, with a dream and a desire, Jim Nadeau set out to introduce the art of ice sculpting to the Chicago land area. Now, 29 years later, with a talented staff of professional carvers and state-of-the-art CNC technology, Nadeau’s Ice Sculptures is Chicago’s premier ice carving company, qualified to handle any ice-related project, from wedding ice sculptures and corporate logos to large ice festivals.

We work closely with hotels, restaurants, country clubs, caterers, banquet halls and ad agencies, both in the Chicago area and nationally. We’ve created ice displays that have been seen in national print ads, on billboards and in TV commercials and motion pictures. At ice festivals and trade shows we’ve provided entertainment with on-site demonstrations and interactive displays.

Whether you’re planning a corporate event, the wedding of your dreams, a bar/bat mitzvah, a birthday or an anniversary, we can add that beauty of ice.
