A burger truck at a wedding is part dinner, part entertainment. Here is how couples in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey plan it so the food lands hot and the timeline never slips.

Decide where the truck fits in your timeline
There are three slots that work well: a cocktail-hour snack station, a full dinner service, or a late-night send-off after the dance floor opens.
Late-night service is the most popular booking we take. Guests have been drinking and dancing for hours, and a smashburger with hand-cut fries at 10pm is the thing they text you about the next morning.
- Cocktail hour: sliders and fries in cones, 45-60 minutes
- Dinner: full burger, fry and lemonade service, 60-90 minutes
- Late night: burgers and fries only, 30-45 minutes
Get your headcount and service window right
Plan on roughly one burger per guest for a late-night service and 1.25 per guest for dinner — seconds happen. Our window moves quickly, but a single line still needs time.
Tell us the guest count and the exact window you want food served in. If the window is tight, we add staff rather than rushing the griddle.
Check the site before you sign anything
Ask your venue three questions: where can a truck park, is the surface level and firm, and is there overhead clearance. Grass is fine when it is dry; soft ground after rain is the one thing that can stall a setup.
We are self-contained and do not need venue power, but we do need a clear, reasonably level spot and access to it before guests arrive.
Lock the date early and keep the paperwork simple
Saturdays from May through October book first. Once you pick a date, a 25% deposit holds the truck and the rest is due before the event.
You get a one-page agreement covering the menu, arrival window, service window and headcount — no fine print to decode.
