This is an increasingly popular option for many reasons.

This is not just about choosing your favourite cuisine though, or giving your wedding guests something to talk about. The advantages of wedding food trucks include the potential to manage reception costs and create really versatile catering for your ‘do’.
What you need to consider for a reception food truck
Your first step is to research nearby food vans that serve food for events, or else a van for hire with a chef willing to make the commute.
You also need to decide whether this will be the sole source of food for your entire reception catering, or is it just a convenient and unusual way to keep evening guests fed and entertained following a sit-down meal?
Thirdly, you need to find a venue that is willing to accommodate this wedding catering option. As mentioned, this is a flexible and fun thing to do, so you could choose to hold a more informal or even open-air wedding reception safe in the knowledge that your event catering is easily sorted.
