That's an MSU football player driving 30 to 45 minutes for shaved ice. As an authentic shaved ice story goes, that's the one I think about most. It's why we keep doing what we do.
How Snow Stars Works at Any Event

_edited.jpg)
Block-shaved ice - soft, snow-like texture, never crushed. Ramon hand-shaves every cup from real ice blocks at every event.
100% raw cane sugar syrups, never corn syrup. Fresh fruit cut the morning of the event for our signature Mangonada, Strawberry Delight, and Pineapple Coconut combos.
Owner-operated by Ramon Vela. Same person at every booking - no franchise rotation, no swapped-in driver, no event handed off to a stranger.

Frequently Asked Questions
Birthdays, school events (field days, fundraisers, PTA, end-of-year), corporate events (appreciation, picnics, team gatherings), weddings, tournaments and team events, and festivals and community events. If your event type isn’t listed, ask - we say yes more often than no.
Tell us your guest count and event length. Rising Star ($250) covers up to 50 guests in 60 minutes. Superstar ($400) covers up to 100 guests in 90 minutes. Mega Star ($550) covers up to 150 guests in 120 minutes. For larger events - 150+ guests, multi-hour, festivals, weddings of 300 - we build a custom quote with our 2-truck capability.
We service a 1-hour radius from Dimondale. That covers all of greater Lansing plus surrounding communities like Mason, Charlotte, Eaton Rapids, and Williamston. Outside that range, contact us — we sometimes accommodate longer trips for the right event.
For rain or extreme heat, we coordinate with you on a covered location - a garage, tent, awning, pavilion, or indoor space. If the event itself is cancelled or moved due to weather, your $100 deposit is refundable up to 14 days before the event; closer to the date, we work with you to reschedule.
Two to four weeks is the sweet spot for most dates. Summer weekends (May–September) and festival season fill up first - book 6–8 weeks ahead if you can. Last-minute is often possible too; send your date and we’ll confirm same-day whether we have availability.
