How much does an ice sculpture cost?

How much are Ice Carvings?

The short answer, $800 dollars per block of ice used.

The longer answer, every special event has different needs, themes, and budgets. In fact, close to 90% of the sculptures we provide are custom made to order, tailored to the specific needs of each individual client. We understand how important it is to you that your event is a success and want you to know it is our desire to help you do just that. That is why we only charge for the amount of ice carving blocks used. We use a U.S. standard Clinebell block that is approximately 10” x 20” x 40”. We can use that ice to make many different shapes and sizes. We can stack it to make your sculpture wider or taller either way you cut it, an average size single block sculpture is somewhere around 3.5 foot wide by 3.5 foot tall. For this 1 block sculpture the price is $800. We of course can add more blocks to make your display larger and more impressive. That price point includes the delivery within our normal 75 mile radius, setup of the sculpture, drain gear and battery powered LED lighting. We can create a sculpture for any budget, so please contact us today. We provide free quotes and design work!
