So, you’re planning a wedding and want to add a tasty twist to the traditional sit-down dinner? Enter the food truck—both literally and figuratively :) Here at TGT, we love when our couples get creative, and what better way to do that than with food? Whether it’s a savory snack during cocktail hour, a sweet treat for dessert, or a late-night bite to keep the party going, food trucks offer a delicious and unique way to take your wedding food to the next level.

Here’s why we love food trucks:

1. Interactive and Fun: Food trucks aren’t just about great food—they’re a show in themselves! Guests get to watch their meals being made on the spot, chat with the chefs, and even snap a few pics with the truck. It’s like a little festival right at your wedding!

2. Flavor Explosion: Why settle for one type of cuisine when you can have it all? From sushi rolls to sliders, food trucks offer a range of delicious options that cater to every craving. It’s a foodie’s dream come true!

3. Perfect Timing: Food trucks can show up at just the right moment—during cocktail hour, after dinner, or even as a late-night snack to keep the party going. They’re flexible and ready to keep your guests guessing!

4. Personalized Touch: Pick a truck that fits your style. Whether it’s a vintage ice cream truck or a taco van with funky decor, it adds a personal touch and makes your wedding stand out.

5. Snap-Worthy Moments: Those colorful trucks make for fantastic photos. They add a vibrant pop to your wedding album and give your guests something to talk about.

Tips for a Smooth Experience:

Plan Ahead: Make sure there's enough space for the food trucks to park and serve guests. Check with your venue and your food truck about any power needs, space restrictions or permits needed. Beware of hanging tree branches or string lights!
Menu Variety: Pick food trucks that offer a wide range of options to cater to different dietary preferences. This way, everyone can find something they love.
Timing is Everything: Decide when you want the food trucks to make their appearance. Popular times include cocktail hour, after the main course, or as a late-night snack.
Stylish Decor: Add custom signage or decor to the food trucks to match your wedding theme. This can include branded napkins, custom menus, or decorations that reflect your wedding colors and style.

So, if you’re looking to add a dash of fun and a whole lot of flavor to your big day, consider rolling in a food truck. It’s a tasty twist that will make your wedding memorable—and delicious!
