Best Wedding Food Truck Ideas of 2023


Weddings are the celebrations of a lifetime—and they’re anything but one-size-fits-all. Everyone’s dream wedding looks different, but no matter the style, theme, venue, season, or budget, weddings all have one thing in common: they’re an occasion that calls for delicious eats!

If you want something a little more unique than a standard sit-down meal or buffet line, consider renting an LA food truck! Not only does opting to have top-notch mobile eats drive right up to your big day mean that all your guests will get to enjoy fresh, tasty treats, but it also couldn’t be more memorable. A food truck wedding is a great way to bring a unique twist to your special day, and is sure to satisfy a large crowd with different tastes.

Here at FTALA, our mission is to help people make their special days even more extraordinary. When it comes to getting married, we have a few ideas that can help you feed your wedding guests in style. Read on to learn the best full-service food truck wedding ideas of 2023:

Tie the Knot with Tacos

Weddings are all about love, and who doesn’t love tacos? Hiring an LA taco truck means your guests can celebrate you and your spouse while also celebrating one of the world’s tastiest foods. Freshness is the key to good tacos, which is why hiring a taco truck is the way to go if you want to serve these universal favorites. Luckily, LA is the epicenter of incredible Mexican taco trucks, and you can choose from top-notch vendors like:

Whether you want traditional street-style tacos, a modern take on classic options, or creative fusion tacos, you won’t regret tying the knot with tacos fueling the big day.

Say “I Do” to Dessert

While there’s nothing wrong with a traditional tiered wedding cake, there are plenty of other fun and exciting options for serving sweet treats at your wedding. Opting for a dessert food truck is unique, unexpected, and sure to be a true crowd-pleaser. You can stay somewhat traditional by offering cupcakes from My Delight Cupcakery, or you can truly break the mold with something like crepes from Crepes Bonaparte, or even donuts from Glazed & Confused.

 You can rest assured that when you enlist the services of one of LA’s best dessert food trucks, you won’t find many people saying “I don’t” to dessert!

Happily Ever After Starts with Snacks

For most people, a wedding is the biggest party they’ll ever throw, and every good party needs snacks. A wedding calls for more than a measly snack table with a few bowls of chips and dip, and a food truck is the best way to keep everyone happily munching and crunching throughout the entire event or even just for cocktail hour.

For a fun snack that everyone will love, consider hiring Wetzel’s Pretzels. Between their Original Pretzels, Pretzel Bitz, and tasty dips, no one will fall victim to pre or post-ceremony hunger when you hire this food truck!

The joy of food trucks starts with the creative freedom in your cocktail hour. Traditional catering might offer some classic appetizers that everyone expects, but there’s no better way to wow your guests than by providing them with their favorite food that catering companies might not offer, like bite-sized grilled cheese or hot dogs, mini waffle bites, or any other of your party’s favorite hors d’oeuvres!

Burgers > Bouquets

Though the bouquet is undoubtedly an important part of most weddings, in our opinion, burgers are also a perfect way to commemorate an exciting union. Whether a traditional bacon cheeseburger or a sloppy bbq sandwich is your idea of joy, or if a veggie burger is the way to your heart, any one of LA’s burger trucks can help you ring in your next chapter of life with everyone’s favorite comfort food.

We’ve all had the typical entree options offered by traditional catering companies, so why not support local food with a catering experience centered around American street food classics!

Take a look at these options:

  • Messi BurgersKnown for their homemade burgers and fresh ingredients, Messi Burgers is all about the toppings. From classic options like bacon and avocado, to more unique pairings like pineapple, your guests can make their burgers as ‘Messi’ as they please. Just be sure to keep plenty of napkins on hand. If you’re wearing a white dress, you might want to don a full-on bib for this one, but trust us—it’s worth it!
  • Monty’s Good BurgerIf you want a burger you can truly feel good about, Monty’s Good Burger is an excellent option. They’re 100% plant-based, and their offerings are so tasty that even the most dedicated carnivore will rave about them.
  • Nexx Burger Nexx Burger takes American classics to a whole new level. By focusing on using high-quality ingredients and emphasizing a commitment to excellence, they make juicy burgers, crispy fries, and classic milkshakes your guests will love.
  • The Steamin’ Burger True to their name, these burgers are steamed rather than being cooked on the grill. The result is a healthier burger that won’t leave your guests feeling bogged down—so they’ll be free to tear up the dance floor or indulge in dessert. Although these burgers forgo the usual grease, they’re equally tasty and come in a range of styles. The best part is, these burgers are actually stuffed with unique ingredients, so you’ll get flavor in every bite.

  Vurger Guyz These ‘Guyz’ serve up some of the best burgers in LA—and they’re vegan! Going plant-based doesn’t mean sacrificing taste when you choose the Vurger Guyz. They even offer a selection of vegan tacos, so there’s something for everyone at this vegan food truck.

Keep the Party Going with Pizza

If you want your guests to party all night long, you need to provide a hearty, tasty dining option that will serve as the fuel for your late-night dance party. Pizza is notorious for being late night grub for a reason, and when you get a food truck like Angelenos’ Wood Fired Pizza to serve it, the pies are sure to be one of the highlights of the evening (besides the vows, of course!). Late-night snacks are a great way to bring a wedding reception into the deep hours of the night, and where traditional wedding catering falls short, food truck catering picks up the slack.

 Pizza is also affordable and easy to eat, so you won’t have to worry about breaking the bank or figuring out complicated dining logistics. The less you have to worry about on your big day, the better!

Your Big Day Deserves the Best Food Truck

Wedding planning can be complicated and exhausting, but one thing you can feel confident about is that when you work with one of FTALA’s trusted vendors, the food is going to be perfectly executed. 

Already booked a catering company? Don’t fret! Add on to the experience of your wedding venue with a mobile bar or ice cream truck to bring another element of culinary delight to the overall catering experience for your guests. Providing an alternative type of food to the pre-planned menu of your rehearsal dinner can foster excitement for the big day to come, and surprising your guests with brunch options the morning of or after your wedding will make the catering experience feel complete!

Wow your guests by bringing LA’s best mobile vendors to the party, and start your happily ever after with the most delicious meals and snacks in town. No matter if you’re having a formal wedding with hundreds of guests, or an intimate, casual celebration with close family and friends, food truck catering can (literally) deliver exactly what you’re looking for on your happiest day!
