Excitement, nervousness, stress and happiness are just a few of the mixed emotions we all feel when planning a wedding. It’s one of the most important days of your life, where all your family and friends come together to celebrate you and your partner.
The catering choice for the big day could be the difference between a good day and a great day for both you and your guests – because, let’s be honest, we have all been to *that* wedding where the main memory of the day was how bad the food was. With so much choice out there it can be tricky to pick a favourite, but with food choices for weddings and other events continuing to expand, street food catering seems to be a firm favourite for many.
What is street food catering?
Street food…it’s kind of a big dill.
Mouth watering, affordable and an instant crowd pleaser. Street food enquiries are coming in thick and fast, not just for weddings, but across event planning as a whole.
Street food catering does exactly what it says on the tin. Think trendy food trucks and gazebos with friendly servers who know just what flavours your taste buds are after. From bratwurst and smashed burgers to burritos and gyros, you have access to a huge variety of types of food to leave all your guests happy, and more importantly, with full bellies.
Do you have a cousin who can never decide what she wants to eat? Or perhaps a brother that simply wants to eat everything in sight? Street food caterers can provide a wide variety of options for guests to choose from and create a festival vibe, which can make for a perfect alternative to a traditional sit down meal with a set menu.
Five reasons to choose street food for your wedding day
Street food catering could be the perfect choice for those who want to save money on their wedding day without compromising on taste and quality. Here are five reasons why street food catering is a must-have for your special day.
1.
There’s something for everyone
With so much scope for food and drink options at your wedding, street food means you can provide your guests with a variety of dishes to suit each and every person, no matter how fussy.
2.
Keepin’ it fresh
There’s nothing worse than dry, unseasoned meat, or a frozen burger. With street food, you have the assurance that everything is freshly prepared, ready to serve up to guests at the perfect moment.
3.
It's not just about the food, it's about the atmosphere
Your wedding is going to be a memorable day regardless, but with street food, you can take it to another level. Street food caterers provide a unique experience for wedding guests with new flavours and a welcome change from a sit down meal. It gets people mingling with people they may not usually interact with – something that makes weddings that little bit more special.
4.
Budget friendly
Street food catering is a great way to make sure you stay on budget for the big day, without compromising taste and atmosphere. The main reasons for this are that street food caterers, typically, do not require front of house staff, nor do they have to hire out cooking equipment, as they already own it. So, for a minimalistic approach to food, while maintaining grateful flavours and service for guests, street food caterers are a true winner for anyone looking to save on costs.
5.
Flexibility
Whether you’re having a festival wedding, an outdoor reception, or a more casual laid back affair, street food is a great choice for any venue. It’s not just flexible in location, either. Individual street food caterers can provide an array of different dishes from across the world, giving you a more diverse choice for your guests.
