Looking to book The Truck? The trucks are available for booking from the beginning of May until October! And like anything in Ottawa, there’s a form to fill out! Questions? Send them to events@themerrydairy.com
How it works:
Book a truck to come to your event! We offer soft-serve from our large truck (1986 Kurbmaster) and scooped ice cream from either our small (1976 Chev) or large truck. Dairy and vegan options are available. There is a minimum order for all events, and we are able to cater within 40 km of downtown Ottawa. Fill out the form below or email events@themerrydairy.com with the details of your event! Our catering packages begin at 100 guests and we can serve scoops or soft-serve ice cream depending on which truck is available. For School and Community Events, please see below.

School and Community Events!
Thank you for reaching out! We’d love to partner with you to bring our ice cream truck to your school event—it’s always a joy to be part of the fun!
To make this a great experience for everyone, we work with schools and organizers to ensure a successful event. Our standard setup includes a two-hour visit with a minimum sales target of $600 (about 135 scoops at $4.42 + tax). If sales fall short, we simply work together to cover the difference. For example, if 50 scoops are sold, the remaining balance would be $353.50 plus tax.
How we can work together for the best results:
- A little planning goes a long way! Events tend to do best when there aren’t competing frozen or sweet treats at the same time (like sno-cones, freezies, or churros), but we’re happy to discuss what works best for your event.
- Let’s spread the word! We can provide ideas for promotion—like posters, social media announcements, or email reminders—to help get the community excited.
The best part? The more scoops sold, the larger the donation back to your school! We love giving back and can chat about how this works to ensure it aligns with your fundraising goals.
If this sounds like a great fit, let’s connect! Complete this form, share the best number to reach you, and we’d be happy to schedule a call to go over the details together. Booking for Schools Form
Looking forward to making your event a sweet success!
Weddings and other life events!
Make your special day extra special by treating your guests (and yourself) to The Merry Dairy’s ice cream delivered and served right at your chosen venue. Ice cream can be the perfect treat for this special day – after the ceremony, an appetizer for cocktail hour, dessert after dinner, or even a snack once the party’s started. And yes, we can work with your caterer! If we can park our truck there, we can go! 🙂
The Fine Print:
Filling out this form is only a request, not a confirmation of booking!
Our events team will work with you to determine the best event duration for the number of guests you plan to host.
Our big truck occupies approximately three car-sized parking spaces.
