If the idea of a seated dinner feels too formal for your big day, or if you just want to offer something different than an extravagant grazing table at your cocktail hour, there's another option that's become increasingly popular in recent years: wedding food trucks. These meals (or drinks) on wheels are an alternative to traditional catering options and provide guests with a unique experience that they'll remember for years to come.

Whether you want to serve classic street food, like tacos or lobster rolls, or want a mobile bar service that offers cocktail hour beverages, like Champagne and craft beer, there's no shortage of options or inspiration when it comes to food truck wedding ideas.

Want to find an option that's just as cute near you? Start by considering the companies you've spotted around your own city or hometown—or see if one of our favorites, featured ahead, suits your wedding style.
