The menu and catering is probably one of the biggest decisions you would have to make when planning your wedding. There are lots of trends that come and go because everyone wants something unique on their special day.

Looking for something ‘different’ for your wedding day? Well, roll in the food truck! Yes – this is an emerging trend in Toronto. Food trucks have been popular in cities like New York and Los Angeles. But as the hype wares off south of the border, it is just starting to become popular among Canadians. It is still a little challenging to organize this in Toronto due to its strict regulations, but you can find many companies catering weddings outside of the GTA. This can be a part of your ceremony, your main menu at your reception or it could roll in late at night to replace the midnight buffets.

Below is a glimpse of some food truck companies that will cater for your special day.

1)      El Gastronomo Vagabundo (http://www.elgastro.com/)
