Mention weddings and everyone has story about how expensive they are.
One of the biggest contributors to the cost, is the food.
What to do ?
How about thinking outside the box, with pop up catering or food trucks.
Using pop ups and food trucks gives the option of a variety of cuisines, while creating a unique talking point for the guests.
One of the most popular cuisines is Italian Pizza, and at Pizza Event we are proud to say we have helped celebrate many a special wedding day with either our Pop Up Pizza Catering or working straight from our Pizza Food Truck.
The food is plentiful and fresh from the oven, and with our 40 years of experience with pizza catering we can serve large groups quickly.
Let’s talk about what to look out for when dealing with food trucks and pop ups.
What sort of food are you thinking of ?
Think of presentation, and how easy is it for the guests to eat
Don’t take any chances on this, go and try before booking, this will give you a chance to see what systems they have in place to cater large groups and also how tasty and fresh the food is.
Take a look at how easy it is to eat, do you need utensils or we talking finger food.
Remember everyone will be dressed in their finest cloths, so make sure we don’t have dripping sauces etc.
Really important, how fast can you feed my party, no good having hungry guests waiting around for a serve of food.
Also important, make sure everything is nice and clean and shinny, no greasy dirty operators need apply. Its a wedding everyone will be dressed in their finest, so demand that the team from the pop up or food truck operators all have uniforms
Remember to check how much space everyone needs.
Again really important, work only with professionals, no amateurs or backyard operators.
Ask for referrals, at Pizza Event we receive around 15 desperate phone calls a year from people who had locked in a caterer for an upcoming event only to find with a few days out the operator can’t be found and is not answering calls, or calls to cancel, usually at the last minute.
Often these hosts have gone for a ‘cheap quote’
In some cases we have been able to come to the rescue, but sometimes we don’t have availability and the host is left to fend for themselves
Unfortunately backyard operators are common in the pop up and food truck world.
We cross paths with operators who work in different professions during the week and then make extra money by operating a pop up or food truck on the weekend.
The last pizza operator we spoke to was a builder during the week and then operated a pizza pop on weekends.
Demand only the best, remember insist that all the staff wear uniforms.
Weddings are large events and expect some of the guests to be
Make sure they are catered for.
Overall the pop up and food truck option is a fun and unique way to cater your special occasion.
Good operators will quote more than backyard operators.
At Pizza Event we invented the Pizza Pop Up.
With over 40 years in the Pizza business and 3 generations of Italian heritage, we know how to help make an event great.
Pizza has proven to be the great finger food or sit down formal food
Nothing beat freshly made and cooked Italian Pizza.
Did you know we have multiple pizza awards, beating pizza chefs from all over NSW and even winning an Australian Award.
We have the option of our Pop Up On Site Pizza Tents or our Live On Site Pizza Truck.
We are passionate about Pizza, and we love helping people make events great.
Your event should be special and if we can help in any way, please don’t hesitate to ask.
