Refrigerated Containers for Events, Festivals & Catering
A wedding with 200 guests. A 3-day music festival with 50,000 attendees. A film shoot on location for two weeks. Each one needs more cold storage than the venue's walk-in can provide — and each one has a hard end date.
Conexwest delivers refrigerated and freezer containers to event venues, festival grounds, stadiums, and film sets across all 48 states. Day-of delivery on common configurations. Generator-friendly for off-grid sites.

Common Event cold storage questions
Yes. Daily and weekend rentals are available on all common 20ft and 40ft configurations. A single-phase 20ft is the most common pick for weddings and single-day events; a 20ft 3-phase rental works for corporate events with venue power. No monthly minimum required for events.
A 20ft single-phase rental holds enough cold storage for 100–300 guests including cake, floral, beverages, appetizers, and main service. A 40ft 3-phase rental handles 300–800 guests or multi-day events. For festivals with thousands of attendees, plan on multiple 40ft units per day of programming.
Yes. Dual-voltage refrigerated containers run on properly-sized portable generators. A 20ft dual-voltage rental fits weddings and film shoots; a 40ft dual-voltage rental scales for festivals and stadium ops. Always confirm wattage with our team — undersized generators cause early shutdowns at the worst moment.
Pre-cooled on arrival. We pull the container down to your target temperature before leaving our depot, so you can load product immediately. Critical when you have a tight load-in window between truck arrival and guest service.
Standard refrigeration units are similar in noise to a commercial walk-in compressor. A 20ft single-phase rental is the most commonly chosen quiet-operation pick for proximity to ceremony spaces and indoor receptions. Confirm noise sensitivity at quote.
Yes. We deliver to festival load-in week ahead of gates-open, as long as the site has stable ground for the container truck and the planned power source is in place. We coordinate timing with your site ops team for staging and final placement.
Yes. Caterer and event-producer volume pricing is available on 5+ rentals per year. Common arrangements: fleet rotation of 20ft 3-phase units for back-to-back weekend events, dedicated commissary unit, or seasonal block bookings for summer festival circuits.
Rental extensions are available as long as the next renter doesn't need the unit. Notify our team as early as possible during your event — we'll confirm extension pricing and pickup reschedule. Day-by-day extensions are common for festivals that run into a strike day.
