Food Truck Weddings Q & A Session 2 - Who brings the beer?

Easily the most popular question our catering team gets asked these days involves
one very important phase of the wedding - Who brings the beer?

Forget the love and cherish, til death do you part - We need to get the beer selection ironed out.
And what about Aunt Claire? She only drinks Zinfandel and Syrah, but we need to have a couple white wines since the wedding is in July.


How can we break bread with all of our friends and relatives with no vino?

You will hear me talk often about the new era of food truckers - This Q & A Session is no different.
There was a time when food trucks at weddings involved a cupcake truck.
Having a truck come for late night eats like pizza or sliders was the next generation.
Both of those circumstances still exist and most likely always will at weddings.
There is always a place for cupcakes and pizza.

On the other hand, you can hire the right food trucker to handle the appetizers, the main entrees
and the sides, the desserts, the late night bites and the liquid courage.



Planning your wedding is hard work, there are tons of items to cross off the list.
Finding the right food trucker can actually make your job easier.
All the pieces in the puzzle apply to that statement - From the 1st consultation to the tasting, make
sure that you are working with the right crew for the job. Ironing out the menu can take a few
revisions, this is one of the biggest days of your life to date. Part of that menu is the beer and wine selections.
Whether you like a wine from a local vineyard or a great wheat beer from Colorado, just be sure to tell your food trucker what styles of beer/ wine that you like.
I tell all of our brides and grooms to bring their favorites to the tasting. There is no better way to
iron out the drink selection than seeing what goes best with the food on the menu.
Look around and see who has deals on catering and drink packages - Booking one crew to
handle everything can give you peace of mind.

If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comment box or shoot me an email through our website - www.wanderindago.com

Keep the questions coming, no matter what the topic. I will be doing Q & A Sessions once or twice monthly. I think our next topic will be wedding planners - We are getting lots of questions on how food trucks work together with wedding planners.
Let us know your thoughts on planners.

Have a great day -
