Planning a wedding in New Orleans means you’re looking for something unforgettable, stylish, and fun—and nothing gets guests talking like a tap truck. But if you’re wondering whether it’s possible (or even appropriate) to book a mobile bar for your wedding reception, the answer is simple: yes, and it might be the best decision you make.
Here’s everything you need to know about booking a tap truck for your big day.
Why Tap Trucks Are Perfect for Weddings
Mobile bars are more than just a way to serve drinks—they’re an experience. A tap truck instantly elevates the vibe of your wedding by creating a unique, interactive bar setup that guests love to gather around. It’s photogenic, it’s personal, and it keeps the drinks flowing without the long lines.
For couples who want to blend Southern charm with modern flair, a tap truck offers that ideal mix of style, convenience, and personality.
Indoor vs. Outdoor Receptions: Where Can You Use a Tap Truck?
Tap trucks are ideal for:
- Outdoor receptions at venues like barns, plantations, gardens, and courtyards
- Private properties such as backyard weddings or family estates
- Open-air venues that allow vehicle access for event setups
While most traditional indoor venues may not accommodate a full-sized vehicle, many allow the truck to park nearby and serve through a designated area or patio. Always check with your venue ahead of time to confirm their mobile vendor policy.
What’s On Tap? Drink Options for Every Wedding Style
One of the biggest perks of booking a tap truck is drink customization. Whether you want craft beer, signature cocktails, prosecco, or non-alcoholic options, your drink menu can reflect your personal taste and theme.
Popular wedding options include:
- Local craft beers
- His & hers signature cocktails
- Champagne on tap for toasts
- Rosé, wine, or sangria
- Mocktails, lemonade, or cold brew for day weddings or dry receptions
Your tap setup can also double as a photo backdrop or social media feature—perfect for that hashtag moment.
How Far in Advance Should You Book?
Weddings book fast—especially during peak seasons in New Orleans like spring and fall. If you’re considering a tap truck for your reception, it’s best to reserve it at least 3 to 6 months in advance, or even sooner for high-demand weekends.
Mobile bar availability can be limited, so the earlier you lock in your date, the more options you’ll have for customization and service.
Final Thoughts: Is a Tap Truck Right for Your Wedding?
If you’re planning a wedding that’s laid-back, elegant, and unforgettable, a tap truck could be exactly what you’re looking for. It takes the stress out of bar service while adding a visual element your guests will rave about for years.
Whether you’re hosting a classic ceremony in the French Quarter or a backyard bash just outside the city, a mobile bar brings people together—and makes the celebration flow effortlessly.
