Event Freezer Rental in Calgary & Surrounding Areas
Walk-in freezer and cooler space delivered to weddings, festivals, food-truck rallies, corporate parties and community events — keeping product frozen, food safe and drinks cold from setup to teardown.
Quick answer
An event freezer rental from I Got Chills is a mobile freezer or cooler trailer delivered to your event site, connected to standard power and picked up when your event wraps. Units operate from approximately -18°C to +4°C and are available for single-day, weekend or multi-week bookings across Calgary and surrounding communities.
Cold Storage That Shows Up With the Event
Venues rarely have enough cold storage for a full event build. A single refrigerated trailer parked behind the tent adds walk-in freezer or cooler capacity for the whole run, so caterers are not stacking coolers and hauling bagged ice all weekend.
The trailers run on a standard 115/120V dedicated 20-amp circuit, so most venues, halls and acreages can power one without special hookups. Generator operation may be possible where site power is not available.
Choose the 7' × 8' unit for weddings and smaller gatherings, or the 7' × 12' unit for festivals, multi-vendor food service and high-volume beverage programs. Booking both covers frozen and chilled at the same time.

Frequently asked questions
What is an event freezer rental?
An event freezer rental is a mobile freezer or cooler trailer delivered to your venue, festival ground or private event site, connected to power and picked up when the event ends.
How far in advance should I book for an event?
Book as early as your date is confirmed. Summer weekends, festivals and wedding season fill quickly, and availability is confirmed directly with you when you request a date.
Can I rent a freezer for a single weekend?
Yes. Weekend and single-event rentals are common, alongside multi-day festival bookings and longer seasonal rentals.
What power does the trailer need at an event site?
A standard 115/120V supply on a dedicated 20-amp circuit with a 3-prong connection, GFCI protected for outdoor use. Generator operation may be possible — the customer provides the generator unless otherwise confirmed.
Can the same trailer hold both frozen and chilled items?
Each trailer runs as either a cooler or a freezer at one time, with a published operating range of approximately -18°C to +4°C. Larger events often book two units so both temperatures are covered.
