Food Trucks: The Grand Finale to Your Wedding

Late-night snacks give a whole new meaning to the term “night cap.” Serving snacks or a late-night meal during the dance reception is no longer considered a trend, but instead serves as a much-needed and much-appreciated interruption to the hours of dancing. As the reception progresses, most people have quickly burned off the 6:00 dinner on the dance floor and have filled up on liquor. It’s practically a scientific fact that cardio plus alcohol equals hungry people. By offering a late-night snack, you are acknowledging that you have taken your guests’ needs
and comforts into consideration. It’s also a subtle way to sober up a few of your guests (your hotel and transportation staff will
thank you!). 

While your guests will certainly welcome any form of free food, hiring a food truck to cater your late-night bite is an avenue worth exploring, especially if you’re looking to create an experience for your guests. When your friends and family have already been wow’ed by your gown, your reception décor, the venue, dinner, and your exceptional taste in dance music—adding a food truck to the mix is like pulling out the ace in your sleeve. Do you remember that feeling when you heard the ice cream truck coming down the street? That excitement is synonymous to the feeling that your guests will experience when a food truck pulls up to your wedding (minus the creepy music). 

Whether you’re a bride who could eat pizza for breakfast or a bride who never passes up a Taco Tuesday, we’ve gathered some of our favorite local food trucks that cater special events. These food trucks offer options that lend themselves well to the late-night, party atmosphere! Spoiler alert: these menus are so enticing, you may just be tempted to have them cater your entire wedding!
