    Hi everyone! I'm new here and starting to really stress about my wedding coming in May! I have 4 main things that I'm looking for advice/suggestions with...

     

    Food truck: Does anyone know of a good food truck that does weddings in Orange County? I've checked out the ones on Yelp but there are only like 4 options and I'm not that impressed. We are looking for burgers or tacos on an actual truck, not a card! Can anyone help?

    Lighting: I'm looking to rent (not buy) cafe/string lights for our reception. The kind that are attached to poles! Google isn't helping me. Can anyone recommend a good company that will rent them out and set them up?

    Vintage cars: I would love to have a beautiful vintage car for the wedding. I'm not looking for a fancy bentley, just something like a 57 chevy or something similar. It could be from a rental company or just rented from a private owner. It also needs to be budget friendly! Any recs?

    DOC: I'm really looking for a day of coordinator to handle vendor communication, set up, break down, and help styling my tables. I've contacting a ton of people who charge $1,500+ which is crazy for 1 day of work! Does anyone have a person they can recommend in the $500 range?

    Thanks anyone for help with any of these subjects! Sorry for all of the questions, these are the things I'm having the most trouble with! XOXO

    These were a few places we are looking into for food catering trucks.

    In & Out  http://www.in-n-out.com/cookout_trailer.asp 

    TK Burgers  http://tkburgers.com/truck.html

    Rasta Tacos  http://www.rastataco.com/ (Cart not a truck)

    DOC coordinator I am going to use is around $500.  Haven't used her yet (since our wedding is in Aug) but the brides she referred me to gave good reviews.  Jennifer   jenakasaka@gmail.com 

    Lighting (not sure if this is what you are looking for) but we are using Baker Party rentals for our lighting and they have string lights available for rent.

    @JohnnaRenee:  Try Kogi (Korean-Mexican) or Dos Chinos Tacos (Chinese-Mexican).

    My parents belong to several hotrod clubs (my dad has a '58 corvette and a '38 chevy with rumble seat).  PM me and I might be able to put you in contact with a private owner of a car that you are looking for!  :)
