As certified New Mexico wedding experts, we, the Perfect Wedding Guide<\/a> team, spend a lot of time talking about what it is that makes each individual wedding so special. Often, we hone in on the little details in the decor<\/a>, bouquets<\/a>, vows<\/a>, and such. We do so because with hundreds of thousands of weddings happening all over the world, it\u2019s the minutia of the moment that reveals the hidden intricacies of a couple\u2019s wedding. So you might ask yourself questions while planning your wedding<\/a> that seem overly introspective, but are actually totally valid. The colors you choose for your wedding do<\/em> reflect your identities. Your venue, be it chic and modern<\/a> with clean edges, or industrial and rustic<\/a> with an old-world charm, really does<\/em> encapsulate your penchants and personalities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not to mention, as the world continues to be tumultuous and ever-turning, the decision-making of choosing wedding professional<\/a> to trust, which vendor to collaborate with, and which small business<\/a> to support, becomes even bigger than just deciding whose vibe matches yours. If you\u2019re anything like us, then you want to support the kinds of businesses who do good for your community, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So when we first learned about the Street Food Institute<\/a> here in New Mexico, our initial reaction was to jump for joy. Equal parts food truck catering and culinary education program, the Street Food Institute<\/a> nourishes our community not only through their delicious food, but through their sustainable entrepreneur pathways, too. The former provides unique, experiential dining options for weddings and events here in New Mexico, and the latter, long-lasting and life-changing professional development for students from all backgrounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With specific programs for those most vulnerable in our community \u2014 like their partnership with Crossroads for Women<\/a>, an organization for formerly incarcerated women \u2014 the Street Food Institute<\/a> empowers and educates while they feed and delight their customers and friends. You can choose from one of their many fine-tuned, carefully curated menus — brunch foods, taco bars, causal eats, vegetarian cuisine, and asian buffets — or you can take advantage of their professional chef expertise and have a custom menu created to perfectly compliment the other eats and treats at your wedding. With either option, you can move forward with the Street Food Institute<\/a> knowing you\u2019re supporting and celebrating a local business<\/a> who strengthens our entire community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus, if we\u2019re being honest here, we all know the food truck trend is the most adorable and convenient thing to ever hit the food scene here in New Mexico. By partnering with the Street Food Institute<\/a> for your wedding, you can reflect your good taste both literally and metaphorically, and create an experience for your family and friends unlike any other. To contact the incredibly dedicated, incredibly kind team over at the Street Food Institute<\/a>, you can contact them here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
