A food truck at a wedding works when a few things get settled early. None of it is complicated. It is all easier to sort now than in the week before.
Where the truck parks
First question, and most venues already have an answer. Grass, dirt or gravel is fine. The truck needs ground it can pull onto and get back out of, close enough that your guests are not walking across a field holding a plate. Ask your venue before you book anything. Some have a vendor area marked out, some stop vehicles at a certain point, and some charge for the spot.
Whether we cook there or bring it ready
Both are on the table. The truck on site means food comes off the grill in front of your guests and the truck becomes part of the evening. Drop-off means we cook ahead and bring it ready to serve, and you give up no space. We laid the two side by side in this post.
Feeding people who agree on nothing
A wedding is the one event where you are feeding your family, your partner’s family, and forty people you have never met. Every meal comes with two free sides and the mains run from no heat to real heat, so people build their own plate from the dishes you picked ahead of time. Brown stew chicken and fried chicken cover anyone who does not want spice. Jerk chicken covers the people who came for it. Curry goat and oxtail cover the people who know the food.
Tell us about allergies and restrictions in your first message. It changes what we recommend.
Timing
Decide when you want people eating and work backward from there. Cocktail hour, straight after the ceremony, or later in the night as the thing that keeps everyone on their feet. Give us the time you want food out rather than the time the ceremony starts and the rest fits around it.
Worth knowing: nobody at a reception eats at the same moment. A line forms, it clears, and a second one turns up later when people have been dancing. Tell us whether you are picturing food out in one hit or spread across the evening and we will tell you what works.
Tell your venue we are coming
Coordinators like knowing. Give them our name, the arrival window and where the truck will sit, and most of the awkward day-of conversations never happen. If your venue has a vendor form, send it over early rather than in the final week.
What to send us
Date, location, rough guest count, and the time you want food served. That is enough to come back with something real. The fuller list is in what we need to quote your event.
