A popular trend in wedding cuisine in 2016 is the introduction of food trucks into your wedding reception! Food trucks are also a great way to keep planning a little less stressful. No need for entree counts and place card designations when hosting food trucks. A fun and interesting way to keep guests both happily fed and entertained, many couples are hosting a full out food truck food feast!
Tiny trucks, big fun
Consider something a little whimsical during cocktail hour. A small bites food truck is a great way to kick off the party! Having a shiny push cart filled with mini hot dogs and burgers is a fun way to welcome guests to the evening. Complete the look with a custom sign on the cart, and server dressed in garb! Another fun way to kick off the night cart style, an espresso cart. Get some caffeine in your guests so they can party all night!
Variety Rocks!
From tacos to lobster rolls. Pulled pork sandwiches to pizza, the options for what you want to pull up to feed your guests are endless! When choosing food trucks, it’s important to consider all your guests. Make sure there is enough variety to satisfy all by offering salads and healthy options. A great plus to food trucks is the ability to do this! Hosting a vegetarian truck would not only please your vegetarians, but also those who just like veggies and healthy options. Have fun when choosing what options to offer your guests, but be sure to be mindful, over indulging in many food truck options can be difficult on the budget.
Dessert Trucks Too??
Of Course! Couples are having a lot of fun this year adding a food truck as a late night snack, or additional dessert offering. How about some nice, fresh hot donuts? You can do that! Ice cream and Gelato can also be put on a truck or cart for fun guest service. Adding a food truck or cart later in the evening is a great way to keep your guests mouth’s happy by treating them to some more yummy food. Adding a dessert truck is a fun way to add more personalize to your wedding by sharing some more of your favorite treats with your guests. Everyone remembers the wedding that the ice cream man showed up to!
There are some things to consider
The Season. The summer seems to be the perfect time to have a food truck affair, but be mindful of your guests standing in line outside to get their delicious food. Depending on your location, you may want to consider hosting a food truck affair during cooler months. This is not to say you should not have food trucks in the summer. If you do host a food truck affair in the summer, consider shady locations for the trucks, or providing shade for your guests as they stand in line.
Do the Math. Food trucks are a great way to feed many people at one time, this is why they are popular at fairs and events, but it will take time for all your guests to get through the food line. You may want to consider offering multiple trucks to keep guest lines moving quicker.
The Look. Food trucks come in many varieties! From vintage to modern, a kitchen on wheels to a cute rehabbed trailer. If the food truck look is important to your event, be sure to do your research on what companies offer what trucks.
A food truck reception is a fun and unique wedding reception trend in 2016! If you are considering this for your wedding, be sure to do all your homework on menus, costs, and timing. A food truck affair is surly something your guests will rave about! Have fun exploring this option for your wedding!
