Our Sweet Journey
We’re the Raney family — a bunch of ice cream lovers (and parents of four wild and sweet kiddos) from central Alabama who believe life’s best moments are meant to be celebrated. For us, soft serve has always been part of the fun — from birthdays and ball games to just-because nights at home.
That joy is what sparked Sweet Treat Rentals. We wanted to help other families, friends, and communities create their own sweet memories — with soft serve machines, fun flavors, and even frozen margarita/slushy machines for the grown-up parties.
Because sometimes, a swirl of ice cream or a frozen drink is all it takes to make a good day even better.

We rented Sweet Treats soft serve machine for a fundraiser! It was FABULOUS! We had nonstop compliments that it was delicious! It was great to have the machine set up and taken down for us by Jared at Sweet Treats- and they raised a lot of money at the fundraiser thanks to the ease of everything!

The Icecream is SO good! They came right on time to set it up and also to pick up. It was clean and such a hit at the graduation party! We will definitely book again! Thank you Jared for helping to make our day even sweeter!!

Sweet Treat Rentals is awesome! We rented a Soft Serve Machine for my 12 year old’s birthday party yesterday. He even set it up, while we were away, as a surprise! The kids (and the adults) loved it! We have already booked for my youngest daughter’s birthday party next month! No matter the event, they have the ice cream covered! You can even pick your flavors! Such an easy process…customers for life! Thanks Sweet Treat Rentals!
