How would you like to serve gelato at your event?
Flavors — countertop Galaxy V1
Packages include one active flavor. The system has one freezing tub, so simultaneous two-flavor service is not promised with a single countertop machine. Sequential flavor service, or the addition of a second machine to your quote, is available after administrative review.
Flavors — mobile gelato cart
The cart's two independent freezing cylinders permit up to two simultaneous flavors, subject to final operational confirmation. Additional flavors are possible through preparation, rotation or added equipment after manual review.

Frequently asked questions
Which Fabbri gelato system should I rent?
The Gelato Galaxy V1 countertop machine suits smaller indoor events, chef stations and dessert tables. The Fabbri 1905 mobile gelato cart suits weddings, larger events and guest-facing mobile service.
Can I rent a countertop gelato machine in New York?
Yes. The Fabbri Gelato Galaxy V1 countertop machine is available from $395 per day across Long Island and New York City. Equipment-only rental requires commercial approval, a signed agreement, an appropriate operating location and a qualified operator.
Can the countertop machine serve two flavors at once?
The countertop Galaxy V1 uses one freezing tub. Multiple flavors may require sequential production, advance preparation or additional equipment, and must be reviewed before confirmation.
Is a security authorization required?
Yes — a $2,500 refundable authorization for the countertop machine and $5,000 for the mobile cart. Neither is included in the estimated rental total and both are handled after quote approval.
Can I book instantly online?
No. Both Fabbri systems are quote-request products. Availability, electrical compatibility, access, flavor plan and staffing are confirmed by FFS Event Rentals.
This is a preliminary estimate and not a confirmed reservation. Availability, delivery access, equipment requirements, staffing, menu selections and final charges must be reviewed by FFS Event Rentals.
