Picking out your wedding day meals can be tricky, let alone during a worldwide pandemic. But what better way to hold a smaller-scale, socially-distanced wedding than to have your vendor come to you? Whether you want the entire meal catered by a food truck or you’re just looking to enhance the meals you already have set in place with a specialized vendor, these options will let you show off your own personality and offer a unique experience that guests will never forget. Here are the contenders.
Savory
Fancheezical
For the couples who are young at heart: Instead of having a custom cocktail at your wedding reception, why not have a custom grilled cheese? Treat yourself to one of their specialty sandwiches like “the Hill”, featuring tomatoes, pesto and provolone.
Rocket Fine Street Food
This food truck has made it their mission to deliver a delicious burger made with organic, local ingredients. The Vulcan burger, which is smothered with caramelized onions, applewood-smoked bacon and spicy rocket sauce, is a must-have for meat-lovers. For vegetarians looking for an out-of-this-world veggie burger, the sweet potato and black bean burger is your go-to.
Plouf Plouf Gastronomie
Plouf Plouf may be a food truck, but it’s one of the most gourmet food trucks around. Serving fine French cuisine free of antibiotics, hormones and high fructose corn syrup, you can guarantee your guests will leave happy. Try the truffle mac and cheese, duck burger or grilled salmon. Bon appetit!

Sips
Del’s Frozen Lemonade
A refreshing cup of frozen lemonade is just what you need at the reception of your summer wedding. As Rhode Islanders, we’ve been taught to always stop at the sign of the lemon so it makes perfect sense to include a Del’s truck on your special day. Serve the traditional lemon flavor or mix it up with flavors like cherry, blueberry or watermelon.
Beer and Bubbles
An open bar on the go, what’s better than that? Beer and Bubbles Truck is sure to be a crowd-pleaser on your wedding day. The truck comes fully-stocked with four different beer, wine, or prosecco options of your choice, allowing guests to help themselves throughout the day.
