"Josie was my representative and she was VERY easy to work with! She set me up with 6 trucks since we were serving 800 people and on a tight schedule. I could not have had a better experience! I would give 10 stars if I could."

Best Times to Book in Austin

Navigate Austin's event calendar and weather for the best experience

Spring (March-May)

Beautiful weather but extremely busy. SXSW (March) and peak wedding season mean trucks book months ahead. Wildflower season makes outdoor events stunning. Plan early.

Summer (June-August)

Hot but manageable with evening events. ACL Fest prep begins in September, so late summer offers good availability. Floating events on Lake Travis are popular.

Fall (September-November)

ACL Festival weekends (October) are challenging for availability. Otherwise, this is prime event season with ideal temperatures. Football Saturdays add to the festive vibe.

Winter (December-February)

Austin's mild winters allow outdoor events most days. Holiday parties peak in December. January and February offer excellent truck availability and sometimes better rates.

Event Catering FAQs

Questions Austin hosts ask most often

How much does food truck catering cost for a wedding in Austin?

Wedding catering typically runs $15-28 per person depending on the cuisine and service style. For a 150-guest wedding, expect $2,500-$4,500 including setup, service, and cleanup. Late-night taco trucks are an Austin favorite, starting around $800.

How far in advance should I book for an Austin wedding?

We recommend booking 4-6 months ahead for weddings, especially for peak Hill Country wedding season (spring and fall). Popular trucks book up quickly. For other events, 2-4 weeks is usually sufficient.

Can food trucks serve at Hill Country venues?

Most Hill Country venues accommodate food trucks and many prefer them for their flexibility. We coordinate with venues on generator requirements, parking, and setup areas. Our trucks are experienced with ranch and estate venues.

What about guests with dietary restrictions?

Austin's food truck scene is incredibly diverse with excellent vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-conscious options. Tell us your guests' needs and we'll match you with trucks that can accommodate everyone.

Do you handle permits for Austin park events?

Yes! We assist with City of Austin permits for Zilker Park, Mueller Lake Park, and other public spaces. We'll guide you through requirements and help coordinate with Parks & Recreation.

What happens if it's extremely hot on my event day?

Texas summers are no joke. We coordinate shaded serving areas, recommend evening events, and work with venues on indoor/outdoor hybrid setups. Your event manager will discuss heat contingencies.

How do SXSW and ACL affect availability?

During SXSW (March) and ACL Festival (October), many trucks are committed to festival events. Book well in advance if your event falls during these periods, or consider the weeks just before or after when trucks are available but the city is still buzzing.

Can I book the same trucks I've seen around Austin?

Often, yes! Many beloved Austin trucks are in our network. Let us know if you have favorites and we'll check their availability. If they're not in our network yet, we may be able to bring them on board.

How many guests can one truck serve?

A single truck typically serves 75-150 guests within a 2-hour window. For larger events, we coordinate multiple trucks. Austin's food truck culture makes multi-truck events feel natural and festive.

What's the minimum order for Austin events?

Most Austin trucks have minimums ranging from $500-$1,500 or 30-50 guests. Premium trucks and peak-season weekends may have higher minimums. We'll match you with trucks that fit your event size.
