Our story

From a simple idea to a signature moment at your event

Amélie started Oooh La Laa with one goal: to make guests feel looked after—from the first smile at the hatch to the last spoonful. The vintage van brings instant nostalgia, but it’s the warm, polished service that people remember.

Today we travel across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Cheshire and beyond, serving weddings, corporate events and private celebrations with a menu built around quality ingredients and crowd-pleasing classics.

A note from Amélie

Why this matters to us

Every event has its own rhythm—quiet moments, big cheers, and everything in between. Our job is to add a little sweetness without adding any stress.


We arrive on time, set up neatly, and serve with a smile—whether it’s a garden wedding, a milestone birthday, or a corporate celebration. The van is a beautiful backdrop for photos, but we’re just as proud of the details you don’t see: tidy service, thoughtful portions, and a team that genuinely cares.

“If your guests feel welcomed and looked after, the whole day feels lighter. That’s the feeling we try to bring—one cone at a time.”

Amélie

If you’re planning something special in the Midlands, we’d love to hear about it. Tell us your date, your venue, and the kind of atmosphere you’re creating—we’ll help you choose the perfect setup.
