About Mellabella Gelato
Mellabella Gelato is a gelato catering business run from Bungendore by director Melany, who left a career in finance to build something around creativity and bringing people together. She and a small team of women serve small-batch gelato from vintage-style Italian carts at weddings, corporate functions and private parties across Canberra and the surrounding district. The flavour list mixes nostalgic and dessert-inspired gelato with fruit sorbets. Salted caramel is the house signature, alongside choc fudge brownie, lemon meringue pie, and raspberry with white chocolate. A mint choc chip made with rice milk and a watermelon and strawberry sorbet look after dairy-free guests, and every gelato and sorbet is gluten free. Bespoke flavours and colours can be created to match a wedding palette or a company brand. Wedding and private packages are sized by guest numbers – 50, 100 or 150 – with three to five flavours and 60 to 90 minutes of service, and the 150-guest option adds a second server. Corporate packages are sized by scoops, from 100 up to 500 and beyond, with up to eight flavours, up to six hours of service and branding options for brand activations and conferences. Every booking includes delivery, set-up and pack-down, a server, waffle cones, compostable cups, spoons and napkins, and a custom menu board. The carts are self-sufficient for power and water, so they can go almost anywhere, and spring and summer dates are the busiest, so earlier bookings are recommended.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Mellabella Gelato package include?
A vintage gelato cart, your choice of handmade flavours, a friendly server for the set service time, waffle cones, compostable cups, spoons, napkins and a custom menu board, with delivery, set-up and pack-down included.
How many guests can Mellabella Gelato cater for?
Packages start with small celebrations of around 30 to 50 guests and scale up to large events serving hundreds of scoops, with wedding packages for 50, 100 or 150 guests and corporate packages from 100 to 500-plus scoops.
Are there dairy-free, vegan and gluten-free options?
Yes. All of the gelato and sorbet is gluten free, and there is a range of dairy-free and vegan sorbets, including a mint choc chip made with rice milk, so most guests can have a scoop.
Does the gelato cart need power at the venue?
No. The carts are self-sufficient for both power and water, so they can be set up on a lawn, in a garden, inside a function room or wherever suits your event.
Can we have custom flavours for our event?
Yes. Mellabella can create bespoke flavours and colours to suit a wedding theme, a celebration or a company brand, and corporate packages can include branding on the day.
