From flower arrangements to music and lighting concepts, there’s a lot to agree or disagree over when it comes to creating the perfect wedding concept. However a wedding catering van is one thing you can be sure you’ll always be on the same page about. Wedding catering vans have increased in significant popularity over the years. They tick so many boxes when it comes to  a catering option that fits the whole guest list, as eclectic and wide ranging as it may be. 

So before you go choosing any old option for the most special day of your life, as it’s the trendy thing to do, we want to show you and your partner-to-be how to spot a duff catering van option from the real deal. You want a catering van company that will contribute to the fun and laid-back atmosphere that encourages guests to mingle, and of course, to dance well into the night. 

What does a wedding catering van service entail?

Wedding catering vans are a popular choice for couples who want a more unique and casual catering option for their wedding. These vans are specially designed to cater weddings and other special events, as they allow for large gatherings that can be served quickly. 

Menu options for you to choose from

Wedding catering vans typically offer a variety of menu options, including street food, gourmet burgers, tacos, pizza, sandwiches, and more. Many catering vans also specialize in a particular type of cuisine, such as Italian or Asian fusion.

Customised options for your special day

Most wedding catering vans allow couples to customise their menu based on their preferences and dietary restrictions. This means you can choose the specific dishes you want to serve, and make any necessary adjustments to accommodate your guests’ needs.

Wedding catering vans are highly flexible and can be set up in a variety of locations. They are ideal for outdoor weddings and can be set up in a parking lot, backyard, or other outdoor space.

What should you look for when choosing the right wedding catering van?

When it comes to filtering out the right wedding catering van option from the endless subpar options out there, there are some key elements to ensuring the service is of the highest standards, delivered by a team that’s friendly and welcoming to all your nearest and dearest. 

So here’s what to look for when choosing a wedding catering van company that you can depend on to do the best job.

Extensive Experience

Most wedding catering vans are run by experienced chefs who have worked in the restaurant industry for years. They are skilled at creating high-quality, delicious food that will impress your guests and that can be worked around your schedule, so if you’re looking for a snacking station for guests throughout the day, or a more substantial option, then it’s important to look for a catering company that has experience doing it all. You can ask for references, look for reviews from previous clients online, and better yet ask to see a portfolio of previous wedding clients and the delicious spread prepared for an array of wedding styles.

Top-standard Service

Many wedding catering vans offer a range of service options, where they will handle everything from setup to cleanup so you won’t have to worry about any mess left after service. Our staff are fully trained to our standard, and we select people that are passionate about good food and creating good times. Without a talented team to deliver our services and serve up our delicious menus with a smile, we would not be where we are today as a highly-recommended wedding catering van company. 

Personalised to your day

Some wedding catering vans offer personalised branding options, such as custom food catering details which can add a unique touch to your wedding and make your catering option feel more personal to you and your partner. We can discuss all possibilities of catering options in our initial call, and will collaborate on ideas to ensure we can deliver a fairytale service, for your fairytale ending. 

What to consider before hiring a wedding catering van:

Budget suitable 

The first thing to consider is your budget and how much you’re wanting to invest in the catering side of things. We can offer a variety of catering options available at different price points, so it’s important to have a clear idea of how much you can spend and we will work around you and the unique requirements of your guest. 

Guest count 

You’ll also want to consider the number of guests you’ll be inviting. Some catering options are better suited for smaller or larger weddings, so make sure you choose an option that can accommodate your guest count. However our catering vans have served weddings of all sizes, so we’re always ready to take on a catering project at a moment’s notice. 

Style and theme

Consider the overall style of your wedding when choosing your catering option. Do you want something formal or more relaxed? Will your catering choice fit in with the overall theme and ambiance of your wedding? Our catering vans add a charm and trendy sophistication to any style of wedding, which is why we quickly established ourselves as one of the best catering companies around. 

Taste testing

As with any wedding catering service, a taste test is always in order. This is the ultimate tip when it comes to ensuring you’re happy with your final catering decision. If you’re content with your option, you can even give details as to slight changes you want to make to ensure the menu is completely unique for your guests.

The key to choosing the best catering option for your wedding is to ask lots of questions, share your weird and wonderful ideas that you’ve always envisioned for your wedding, and get inspired by our stunning portfolio of eclectic wedding catering jobs.
