Planning an unforgettable event in Phoenix? Whether it’s a wedding, corporate gathering, or neighborhood block party, nothing gets guests buzzing like delicious food served straight from a truck window. But if you’ve never booked a food truck before, the process might feel a little overwhelming. Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! At Food Trucks PHX, we make it simple to bring the Valley’s top mobile kitchens straight to your event.
In this guide, you’ll learn the essentials of how to book food trucks in Phoenix, plus a few insider tips to make your event smooth, stress-free, and delicious.
Step 1: Know Your Event Details
Before reaching out, nail down the basics:
- Date, time, and location of your event
- Estimated guest count (this helps determine how many trucks you’ll need)
- Type of cuisine you’d like (burgers, tacos, BBQ, vegan, desserts, etc.)
The more details you have upfront, the easier it is to match your event with the perfect truck. At Food Trucks PHX, we work directly with you to ensure the menu, setup, and service align with your vision.
Step 2: Choose the Right Food Trucks
Phoenix is home to an incredible variety of food trucks—from gourmet burgers and street tacos to plant-based eats and sweet treats. When selecting your trucks, consider:
- Diversity of cuisine: Mixing a savory truck with a dessert truck keeps everyone happy.
- Event style: A formal wedding might call for upscale dining, while a casual birthday bash pairs perfectly with comfort food favorites.
- Guest preferences: Offering options for dietary needs (gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan) is always a smart move.

Booking with Food Trucks PHX is easy. Once you know your event details and food preferences, simply reach out through our contact form. From there, our team will:
- Match you with available trucks based on your event type and guest count
- Confirm pricing and logistics (trucks typically charge per guest or per event hour)
- Coordinate all the details so you don’t have to worry about setup, power, or permits
This streamlined process means you can focus on hosting while we handle the heavy lifting.
Step 4: Day-of Event Success
On the big day, your trucks will arrive ready to cook and serve. Here’s how to set yourself up for success:
- Designate parking areas with easy access for trucks to maneuver.
- Allow time for setup (most trucks need 30–60 minutes before service).
- Communicate with your guests—signs or announcements help them know when and where to order.
Pro tip: Schedule service in “waves” for larger groups to avoid long lines.
