- Want your wedding guests to be extra excited when they receive your wedding invitation? Add a note that a gourmet food truck will be visiting your reception site. The hot trend of food trucks has moved into the wedding space, with many couples choosing to save money and help small businesses by booking a food truck for their special day.

Who: Adventurous modern couples hire food trucks.
- When: While some couples hire food trucks in place of a buffet or sit-down meal, others hire the truck to occupy guests between the ceremony and reception (that hour-or-so-filler-while-the-wedding-party-poses-for-photos-time). Another option is to hire the truck to provide refreshments as your guests leave as a combination novelty snack and wedding favor.
Where: Surprisingly, finding a parking spot for your wedding food truck may be your biggest obstacle. Many receptions sites that function as hotels may not have a prime parking spot available during your event, but this detail must be pre-arranged prior to the event with support of your wedding planner or location staff.
Why: Couples choose to hire a food truck because the concept is original and fresh. Food trucks also offer a great opportunity to showcase personal tastes or the flavor of local food specialties.
