Some brides dream of the quintessential princess wedding — big
dress, horse and carriage, sit-down three course meal. But equally,
many couples are totally turned off by this traditional idea. These
sorts of weddings can be really expensive, and for a lot of people
they are overly formal and don’t allow for individual expression. So
people are casting their net a little wider in pursuit of wedding
celebration ideas which are a bit more fun and quirky.
One of the best ways to create an individual and memorable wedding
is to choose an alternative to the traditional wedding breakfast. Many
people are now opting for more informal catering options which allow
people to move about and mingle while they eat. Not only does this
save on the stress of producing a seating plan, it also makes for a
more sociable event and allows guests to eat at their own pace.
Why Mexican Street Food Works So Well
at Weddings
There are numerous options for informal outside wedding catering,
but one particularly striking idea is to serve Mexican street food to
guests. A mexican
street food van hire works really well for relaxed outdoor
weddings because, let’s face it, if they’re eating authentic Mexican
cuisine in the sunshine then your guests will feel like they’re on
holiday!
Mexican food is great fun, and quesadillas, nachos and burritos are
all really easy to eat on the move — perfect for allowing guests to
catch up with all of the family and get to know the in-laws! They’re
also great for children, so parents can relax and let the little ones
enjoy their food without worrying about them making a mess. Most
importantly, this is a really memorable option which provides a
talking point for the wedding. So if you’re planning a wedding, step
away from the boring old sit-down meal options and embrace something a
little different — your guests will thank you for it!
What Does a Mexican Street Food Van
Serve at a Wedding?
KK Catering’s Kantina Diablos unit is one of the most popular
wedding catering choices we offer. Guests build their own burritos
from 12-hour smoked pulled pork or chipotle chicken, loaded with lime
and coriander rice, pinto beans, fresh guacamole, pico de gallo,
grated cheese and sour cream. No two burritos are the same — and
that’s exactly the point.
Then there are quesadillas — large toasted tortillas packed with
melted cheese and a choice of fillings — and loaded nachos smothered
in cheese, guacamole and sour cream. Everything is freshly cooked on
the van throughout service, so every portion is hot and made to order.
Nothing sits under a heat lamp going cold.
Vegetarian and vegan guests are well catered for too, with bean
burritos, cheese quesadillas and veggie nachos available as standard.
The van is fully self-contained and runs from a standard 13-amp
electricity supply — no venue kitchen needed.
Perfect for Evening Receptions and
Late-Night Wedding Food
One of the most popular ways couples use Kantina Diablos is as a
late-night wedding food option — serving after the first dance to
refuel guests and keep the party going. The informal, interactive
nature of a burrito bar creates exactly the right energy at that point
in the evening. Guests gather around the van, chat while they wait,
and get a proper hot meal rather than a tired buffet.
It also works brilliantly as the main wedding reception catering
for relaxed outdoor weddings, marquee receptions and barn weddings
where the dress code is relaxed and the atmosphere is more festival
than formal.
