In recent years, weddings have undergone a makeover. The couples are stringent, away from formal matters and are personal, easy and joyful. A trend that surprisingly reflects this change? Wedding food truck. Once only street parties and used for the afternoon, food trucks are now coming into weddings and stealing the limelight.

From pizza and petu burgers made of wood to rich desserts, food trucks are providing couples with traditional eating options that are fresh, delicious and fun. But do a lot of lovebirds choose food on wheels for their special day? Let's look at the growing popularity of wedding food trucks.

1. A Fun and Casual Dining Experience
Let's be honest—weddings can be too staid. With assigned seating, several courses, and strict timeframes, some guests would just like to have a good time and relax. Food trucks introduce a casual and celebratory vibe to the proceedings.

Rather than waiting in line at a buffet or waiting for table service, the guests can pick and choose what they desire, when they desire it. It offers a sense of novelty and excitement, where taking a bite is an event unto itself. Picture your guests wandering toward a taco truck beneath string lights or discussing with a chef as he cooks fresh ramen: that is an ambiance.

2. Correct for the Budget and Scalable
Weddings are expensive. Industry surveys indicate that catering itself can take up 20-30% of your budget. Waitstaff, rentals, and venue demands are part of traditional full-service catering, and these can add up fast.

Food trucks can eliminate much of that cost. You're not renting out formal table service, linens, or hundreds of employees. Most food trucks have simple pricing by guest or item, allowing you to keep costs in check and limit surprises.

Also, food trucks can be sized to suit the number of guests. Having a micro-wedding with 30 guests? One truck may suffice. Large bash with 150 guests? Hire two or three trucks for variety and quicker service.

3. Ideal for Outdoor and Unconventional Venues

No kitchen? No problem. Food trucks are their own little worlds, so they can pull up to nearly any place with minimal preparation. All they typically require is room to park and a flat area. And, they bring a visual element to your wedding aesthetic—bold colours, chalkboard menus, and the aroma of sizzling food are all part of the appeal.

4. More Variety, Happier Guests
One of the greatest wedding catering challenges is making everyone happy. With a plated meal, guests tend to predetermine from a couple of choices—nice but dull. Buffets provide more options, but food trucks are next in line.

You can even coordinate the trucks to reflect different stages of the event:

• Light bites during cocktail hour
• Full meals during the reception
• Dessert and coffee trucks later in the night

5. A Conversation Starter
Let's face it—nobody remembers the chicken breast with mashed potatoes at most weddings. But they will recall the taco they constructed themselves at a food truck called Holy Guacamoly. Food trucks become a conversation starter, facilitating guests to communicate and discover with each other.

This is particularly wonderful for weddings with strangers as guests. Waiting in line for a food truck or choosing a menu... just breaks the ice and enters the realm of common experiences.

6. Great for late-night snacking
After some hours of dancing to cocktails and good music, guests feel hungry again. Instead of serving up leftover merged sandwiches, why not paint a lovely scenario of a truck arriving at the stroke of midnight, or a cart dispensing hot espresso and sweet treats? Instead of taking out the merged sandwich or the remaining, paint a midnight slider truck arrival or a coffee-end-donut cart offering warm espresso and sweet gifts.

Late-night food trucks are a delightful surprise that tells your guests you cared about their comfort and pleasure all night long. It also serves to sober up the drunk and rev up the dance floor—double whammy!

7. Green and low-exploited options
Many contemporary food trucks are now focused on environmentally friendly measures, such as prodigal thorns, recycled containers and locally citrus production. For green-conscious couples, it can fit perfectly into a green wedding strategy.

Furthermore, food trucks tend to produce less food waste than conventional catering, limiting it further if people are ordering what they desire rather than being served set portions.

Things to Consider Before Booking a Food Truck
While food trucks offer tons of benefits, there are a few things you'll want to plan for:

• 
  Time and coordination
  Line management is important to reduce the service time, offer many trucks, or wait for a long time to give food from the trucks to guests sitting in the trucks.
• weather backup
  If you are planning an external wedding, make sure that there is shelter nearby in case of bad weather. Some trucks have awnings or tents, but always have a backup plan.
• Strength and setup
  Food trucks are mostly independent, but see if they require power sources, water hooks, or generators - and if your site will support it.

Final cutting
Food trucks are not a craze - they are a declaration. They talk with the love of the authenticity, creativity and remembering experiences of today's joints. Whether you are comfortable and casual or smooth and contemporary, food trucks can be designed to match your style.

Finally, it is about serving love with a side of fries.
