Every caterer knows the nightmare: a summer wedding, 500 guests, and the dessert table melting before the event even starts. Dry ice for catering solves the cooling problem — and as a bonus, creates the spectacular fog effects that make events unforgettable.
Rams Business Services is the trusted dry ice partner for caterers, wedding planners, and event managers across Pakistan. Order on WhatsApp: +923118140910 — https://wa.me/923118140910. 24/7 service, including event nights.
From weddings to corporate events, our dry ice for catering service covers both cooling and special effects.
Two Jobs, One Product
Dry ice serves caterers in two completely different ways:
1. Cold chain: keeping food frozen or chilled from kitchen to venue and throughout the event. At -78.5°C, dry ice holds frozen items solid for 24–48 hours with no power — perfect for outdoor venues, farmhouses, and marquees without reliable electricity.
2. Fog effects: the dramatic low-lying fog for couple entries, stage performances, first dances, and cake cuttings. This is created by dropping dry ice pellets into hot water — the same product, a different application.
Most event orders include both: pellets for the kitchen coolers and extra for the effects team.
When you order dry ice for catering, splitting one delivery between pellets for cooling and blocks for fog is the most cost-effective approach.
Cooling Applications for Caterers
Frozen desserts: Kulfi, ice cream, and frozen mousses stay perfect in Thermopore boxes with dry ice, even at a sunny outdoor venue.
Meat and BBQ prep: Bulk BBQ meat for a 500-person dawat stays safely frozen during transport and staging.
Seafood stations: Live or fresh seafood displays stay chilled without melting ice diluting the presentation.
Beverages: Keep bottled drinks ice-cold in dry ice-lined coolers — colder and longer-lasting than regular ice, with no watery mess.
Chocolate and mithai: Heat-sensitive sweets survive summer weddings intact.
Heat-sensitive sweets like these are exactly why planners trust dry ice for catering setups at summer venues.
Fog Effect Guide for Planners
The classic dry ice fog effect:
- What you need: dry ice pellets + hot water + a safe container (metal buckets work well)
- How much: 5–10 kg for a standard stage effect lasting 1–2 hours; 15–25 kg for grand entries with multiple fog points
- Timing: add dry ice to hot water 5–10 minutes before the moment — the effect peaks quickly
- Safety: keep the bucket away from guests’ direct reach, ensure ventilation, and never let anyone handle dry ice bare-handed
Pro tip: assign one team member to manage fog timing. The best effects are short and dramatic, not continuous.
Planners who use dry ice for catering regularly tell us fog timing is the single biggest crowd-pleaser at couple entries.
How Much Dry Ice Per Event?
| Event size | Cooling | Fog effects | Suggested total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small (50–100 guests) | 5–8 kg | 5 kg | 10–15 kg |
| Medium (200–400 guests) | 10–15 kg | 10 kg | 20–25 kg |
| Large (500+ guests) | 20–30 kg | 15–20 kg | 35–50 kg |
These are starting estimates. Venue temperature, event duration, and menu all matter. Share your event plan on WhatsApp (0311-8140910) and we will calculate precisely — free.

Delivery: Timed to Your Event
Event logistics are unforgiving — dry ice arriving late is useless. Our event service includes:
- Time-slot delivery — we deliver in the window you specify, not “sometime today”
- Evening and night dispatch — most events need dry ice at 6–8 pm; we are built for that
- Backup buffer — we recommend ordering 10–15% extra; unused dry ice simply sublimates, but running short mid-event is a disaster
- Multi-venue coordination — kitchen pickup, venue drop, effects team handoff

Whatever the city, our dry ice for catering service delivers in your exact time slot, even on event nights.
Safety Briefing for Event Staff
- Gloves and tongs for everyone handling dry ice — no exceptions
- Never place dry ice where guests (especially children) can touch it
- Fog machines/buckets need stable placement away from foot traffic
- Ventilate indoor venues — CO2 is harmless in open spaces but displaces air in sealed rooms
- Brief your team before the event, not during it
Once your team knows the basics, handling dry ice for catering becomes second nature — most crews master it in a single briefing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book dry ice for a wedding?
2–3 days in wedding season, 1 day otherwise. Last-minute? Message us — we keep buffer stock.
Can one order cover both food cooling and fog effects?
Yes — just tell us both needs and we will size the order accordingly, usually with pellets for both.
Is dry ice fog safe indoors?
Yes, in ventilated halls. For small sealed rooms, keep quantities modest and ensure airflow.
What if my event runs longer than planned?
Order a 10–15% buffer. Extra dry ice costs little; running out mid-event costs reputation.
Can I use dry ice for catering at a small home event?
Absolutely — for an intimate home gathering, a few kilograms of dry ice for catering keep desserts frozen and add a delightful fog effect to the cake table.
