It works well for wedding breakfasts and milestone birthdays, with a build-your-own taco bar, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. Service is timed around speeches and photos. There is more in our taco bar guide.

Taco bar hire or something else?
