What is included in the full-service experience?

One of our expert paleteros running the experience at your event, 2 chocolate dippings (white and dark recommended), 4 toppings of your choice, the Morelia branded cart and coolers, and delivery and setup the day of your event. Guests walk up, pick their paleta, dip it and choose their toppings, so dessert becomes part of the entertainment. No electrical outlet required.

Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes. We are kosher certified by Kosher Miami. Our fruit paletas are water-based, so they are naturally dairy-free and vegan-friendly, and we also offer gluten-free, nut-free and sugar-free options. We have 12+ flavors, including mango, strawberry, lime, Belgian chocolate, Sicilian pistachio, dulce de leche, Oreo cookies and cream, strawberry cheesecake, mint chocolate chip, Greek yogurt with berries and Dubai chocolate. Tell us about any restrictions when you inquire and we will build the flavor menu around them.

What is the minimum order and how many guests can you serve?

Minimum 50 paletas, with no maximum. We scale from intimate dinners to 2,000 guests and beyond. We usually recommend one paleta per guest plus about 10 percent extra when dessert is served late in the night, because most guests come back for a second one.

How much space and setup time do you need?

The cart needs roughly an 8 by 8 foot area. We set up 30 to 60 minutes before the event and breakdown takes about 20 minutes. No electrical outlet is required for the full-service experience, since our freezers hold temperature outdoors in Miami heat. We leave the space exactly as we found it.

What areas do you serve, and do you travel?

We deliver and set up across Miami-Dade and Broward for a flat $60 fee, from Wynwood, Brickell and Coral Gables to Aventura, Sunny Isles, Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale. We also travel to Palm Beach, the Florida Keys, the Treasure Coast and Fort Myers for a travel fee. We have served the Formula 1 Grand Prix at Hard Rock Stadium, the University of Miami, Brickell office towers, oceanfront condominium associations, private estates and hotels, and we provide certificates of insurance for venues that require them.

How do we book and what are the payment terms?

Send us your date, venue, guest count and preferred service style and we will send you a quote. A 50 percent deposit is due upon acceptance of the quote and the remaining 50 percent the day of the event. We invoice by card, payment link or bank transfer, whichever your planner or venue prefers.

What is your cancellation policy?

Full refund up to 2 weeks before the event. No refunds after that point. If you need to move your date, contact us as early as possible and we will do our best to accommodate.

How far in advance should we book?

Two to three weeks is comfortable for most events, and popular dates in season book earlier. Short notice is often possible, especially for self-service delivery, so ask us even if your date is close. Booking early also gives us time to run your flavor selection.
