If so, who did you use, would you recommend them and how was it price-wise? I think it is such a fun idea

My sister is considering this for her wedding next December. Their DJ does it- After Hours Entertainment. I think its a couple grand depending on the package you pick.

I used tobo foods for my wedding back in 2011. I loved it. It was a bit pricey if I remember correctly. I want to say like 1300. But I had personalized newspapers and food.

My cousin had a philly cheese steak one, I think Chiddys was the name, last summer, it was awesome! He charged her by what people ordered off the regular menu.

Our school did this for a BBQ. The line was SO long! Food trucks notoriously take FOREVER to get the food out. If you have a small group, great. A large group...I wouldn't do it personally

My parents' friend's daughter used them. She had all sorts of snacks and candy and had personalized containers to put them in. People loved it!

If I was doing hot food, I would do something that doesn't really take individual cook time to put out...like maybe churros, pretzels, hot dogs, etc. I feel like a long wait would put a damper on a party.

I don't know if there is one nearby here, but in Boston, there is a cookie truck that makes hot cookies to order and can make them into ice cream sandwiches. It is the most amazing thing around.

Same with us. Our school did it and people waited a long time for food. I would only do it with less than 50 people.

Ooooh...i never thought about this. Good point. Swell Taco has one. I wonder if that would move faster since they can probably pre make tacos, etc
