Perfect from start to finish!

We've always loved visiting Pippy's truck for delicious food so they were of course our first choice when it came to having our wedding welcome party catered. Heather made the process so incredibly easy thanks to her responsiveness and organization. The hot dogs, tacos and sides were incredible and our guests are still talking about it! The service and food was top-notch and we couldn't be happier! Highly recommend!

Everything we wanted

The Sunday brunch for our wedding was one of the last things we booked, and surprisingly one of the hardest. We wanted a variety of hot and cold items, and coffee, that would help give pep to everyone’s step the day after our wedding, and Heather’s food delivered 200%. I can’t even explain how much life those breakfast burritos breathed back into me on Sunday morning. And I tried a bit of everything—the yogurt and granola, fruit, sausage, coffee, bagels—it was universally delicious. We couldn’t be more thrilled we worked with Heather, and you won’t be, either. Her communication, variety, service, everything was excellent.

Gourmet Cuisine from the Nicest Person in the World

Working with Heather was the single best decision we made when planning our wedding.

First let's talk about the quality of the food. It was 100% top tier. We asked Heather to put together an eclectic selection of dishes spanning Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America, and everything was stunning. The charcuterie boards she prepared for our cocktail hour were comprised of incredible locally-sourced provisions and arranged beautifully. Dinner highlights included a perfectly cooked Argentinian skirt steak with gorgeous chimichurri, deeply delicious Thai Larb, and too many mouth watering sides to name. I cannot express just how elevated Heather's cooking is—and all from a humble truck. (Huge pro-tip: arrange for hot dog's at the after party, they are mind blowing.)

Second, let me tell you about Heather as a person. As it turns out, she ended up working with us for over two years, thanks to Covid. We we were scheduled to get married in May of 2020, but that got cancelled. Then we were on for October, then June of 2021 and finally September of 2021. Throughout it all, Heather stayed supportive and engaged, even as she was challenged with keeping her business going in the middle of a pandemic that his food and hospitality especially hard. We will be forever grateful to her for her utter steadiness, profound kindness, and unstoppable optimism. She is a treasure of a human being, truly.

Food truck for wedding

This review is long overdue! We had the best experience with Heather and Pippy's Food Truck. She went above and beyond and made our night extra special. We loved everything and our family and friends loved the food. I feel nostalgic just thinking about it! Pippy's was a hit and everyone was wonderfully surprised we had a food truck waiting at the end of the night. I hope to Ise their services again!

Delicious and fun!

Pippy’s was the perfect caterer for our rehearsal dinner. Heather was amazing to work with. She tailored the menu to our (extremely difficult) allergy needs, and everyone absolutely loved it! They raved about how good the dessert ones and every single person had second or third helpings. I would absolutely recommend!

Best food; best service; best people!

Pippy’s catered our wedding; the food was a huge hit! I can’t emphasize enough how delicious and fresh everything was or how beautifully everything was laid out. Our guests raved about all of it. And the Pippy’s staff were so kind and generous; it felt like we had a few more friends at our wedding! We plan on making anniversary trips to visit Pippy’s food truck, and we already can’t wait. Thanks again, Pippy’s!!!
