Food truck rehearsal dinner

Not for an RD, but I have for a graduation party. It was super fun, the guests loved it, and the food was delicious. Most quality trucks have websites, social media and reviews now so just do a little research. It's perfect for a casual concept!

The truck that we rented was a retired, renovated fire-truck with speakers to play music and a built in photo booth. It was a HUGE hit. Not sure if they have any upgraded ones like that in your area, but something to look for maybe!

I have no experience with it but I think it could be an awesome idea!!

Sorry, no experience, but that sounds awesome! Everyone loves food trucks right now!

I love food trucks. They are great. I'm in full support!

That sounds like an awesome Rehearsal dinner, but no experience with them.

Omg that would be so fun!!!

That would be fun!!!

Sounds like fun!!!

I love food trucks and would totally look into having a food truck or two for the RD if my wedding wasn't in January :/

I used a really good gourmet burger truck for a party once. It was lots of fun.

The only thing to remember is that there's generally a minimum fee, so you could be paying more per person than you would with another caterer if there are not going to be many people there. There are usually also travel fees and service fees in addition to the cost of food, and some areas might require you to purchase a permit (for me it was free, but if I did it in the city it'd be an additional $350). It's also hard to keep it to a specific budget since many food trucks charge by the amount of food purchased rather than a set number per person (this is where having a smaller number of people can be a plus - generally you won't meet the max, so it's easier to estimate the total cost ahead of time).

For the one I used, it'd come out to about $50 per person if I used them for my rehearsal, not including drinks, so I decided to do a bull roast instead (pit beef and italian sausage with black bean and portabella burgers for the veggie option) which comes to $14 per person (and they bring the grill with them and do setup, service, and cleanup).

I almost didn't keep reading. No missing limbs? (kidding)

No experience here, but it SOUNDS amazing. Do yo have any particular truck you're looking at? (I love food trucks.)

That sounds so awesome! Food trucks are so fun!

I love that idea.

Love it. Haven't seen if for a RD but have for a wedding. I think it's perfect for what you're describing.
