Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Shalden

How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In Shalden, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening tacos are typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the wedding breakfast, evening food or both with you.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue.
- We pack down and leave our area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
