The 16 foot ice bar carved from a single block of ice. Guests strolled up to the bar and ordered their drinks on this work of art. The last time this ice bar was created by the artist was for President Carter. But don't set your drink on it, it will end up on your new black leather shoes that you just bought to photograph wedd..........nevermind.





The couple's initials were carved into the ice bar in gold





The ice bar was delivered with eight champagne chillers, four on each side
