Icebox

What Icebox does

Icebox (DBA: Icebox Bar) is a privately held, U.S.-based event bar services company founded in 2008 and headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, with a secondary office in Greenville. The company delivers bespoke beverage strategy, production, and hospitality services for weddings, private celebrations, corporate events, and luxury experiences, and claims the ability to serve events nationwide. Its core offerings are organized around bar packages for each of these four use cases, with crafted cocktails, professional glassware selection, and on-site staff execution positioned as the primary deliverables. The company operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market motion, converting inquiries through email ([email protected]) and phone (800.818.2737) into custom-quoted event engagements, with no published pricing tiers. Core technology is not publicly disclosed; the offering is service- and labor-intensive rather than software-enabled. Revenue is generated on a one-time, per-event basis with no subscription or recurring component, and there is no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional ownership. Marketing relies primarily on the company website, a curated event gallery, and a sister brand site (iceboxlive.com) for adjacent brand-experience work.
