Summer (June-August)
Peak season for outdoor events on plazas, the Greenway, campus lawns, and backyards. Graduation parties run into July. Book early for a weekend date; a weekday lunch needs far less.
Fall (September-November)
Ideal weather through October and New England's best wedding season. September move-in weeks, Head of the Charles, and quarter-end appreciation events tighten availability.
Winter (December-February)
Holiday parties fill December. January and February have the best availability of the year, served from covered docks, garages, and indoor-adjacent setups.
Spring (March-May)
Marathon Monday closes Back Bay and Copley. Weather turns by May, and commencement season across dozens of campuses makes late May and June the tightest windows of the year.

"We used Nicky V's for our Wellington UCC Fall Festival and were very pleased with the service we received. The process was seamless. They made it easy for us to access them by text messages or phone calls to make changes as necessary. We were informed an hour before arrival and they arrived on time and delivered exactly what was ordered. They even created a unique webpage for the event that could be easily included in emails and social media if we needed to share the event information with others. Thank you Nicky's for a job well done!"

Boston Event Catering FAQs
Questions Greater Boston hosts ask most often
How much does food truck catering cost for an event in Boston?
Event catering typically runs $15-30 per person depending on cuisine and service style. Tacos, sandwiches, and comfort food anchor the value end; New England seafood tops the range. A 100-guest party usually lands between $1,800 and $3,000 including setup, service, and cleanup.
What is the minimum order?
Most events start around 50 guests for a weekday lunch and 75-100 for celebrations. Some trucks serve smaller groups; tell us your headcount and quotes will come from trucks that fit.
How far ahead should I book a graduation party or wedding?
Graduation parties cluster from mid-May through June across the metro, so book early. For weddings, plan early for May through October dates. Weekday events and winter dates are far more flexible.
Can food trucks serve at my venue?
Almost always. Lofts, estates, parks, backyards, and community centers each have their own rules on placement and load-in. Tell us the venue and we coordinate access, arrival windows, and any permit the municipality requires.
Do you handle permits for Boston, Cambridge, and the suburbs?
Yes. Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, and each surrounding town license mobile vendors separately. Trucks in our network carry the permits for the town your event is in, so you don't need to verify anything yourself.
What happens if it rains or snows?
Trucks serve in all weather. For rain, guests order under a tent or covered area; for winter, garages, covered docks, and indoor-adjacent setups work well. Your coordinator confirms a contingency with the venue before event day.
How many trucks do I need?
One truck comfortably serves about 100-150 guests over two hours. For larger events we recommend two or three trucks with complementary menus so lines stay short and guests have variety.
Do trucks serve the Cape, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island?
Coverage runs Greater Boston, the North Shore and South Shore, MetroWest and Worcester, southern New Hampshire, and Providence. Cape Cod events are handled case by case; mention the town and quotes will reflect travel.
Boston is a new market for Food Truck Club. How are trucks vetted?
Boston is one of our newest markets and the roster is being built truck by truck. Every vendor is vetted before their first booking: mobile food permits and insurance certificates confirmed, menus and pricing reviewed, and the operator interviewed about capacity and communication. Post-event reviews feed into the same rating system that averages 4.8 stars across 690+ reviews nationwide.
