As brides are searching for something to set their wedding apart from most, mealtime is an easy way to mesmerize guests. Whether that is setting up a popcorn station, handing out single-serve strawberry bites before the ceremony, or kebabs to serve on the go, there are many ways to wow guests - one popular trend in 2021 is food trucks. 

Guests may not walk out of a wedding remembering how the perfectly wrapped napkins looked or that the DJ played the wrong opening song, but the food served will be the conversation starter for every attendee.

Get Creative
