If you think taco bars are exclusively for Cinco De Mayo parties, you’d be mistaken! Wedding taco bars are becoming increasingly popular because they offer the happy couple an option that is usually more cost-effective for feeding a crowd, and because they’re delicious.
Whether you’re including a wedding taco bar in the reception dinner offering, or as part of the rehearsal dinner, bridal shower or engagement party, the set up is about the same. And it always leads to happy guests – that’s almost a guarantee!

The Set Up
Offer guests a wide variety of options to add to their tacos: different meats, lots of toppings, and different sauces. And don’t think it has to look like a picnic spread, we love this more upscale set up (above) that displays all of the taco fixings in an elegant yet simple way.
Provide signage that let’s guests know what all their choices are, and don’t forget to make it cute and fit in with the rest of your event’s aesthetic!
The Decor
No set up is complete without pretty signage that defines the space, while candles and florals that match your wedding or event colors tie it all together.
If your event is more rustic or country, we love the idea of flanking your taco bar with gorgeous greenery and elegant signage. Keep the color scheme warm and neutral.
Depending on the event, you may want to have a little fun with this aspect of your party! Use fun signs or decor if you’re hosting a backyard wedding, rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, or engagement party. If your wedding has more of a country feel, this cute sign may still fit right in.
The Bar
Don’t forget to extend the taco bar beyond just the taco fixings. We love a margarita bar! Show off the pretty tequila bottles in the back, lovely margarita glasses, and of course, don’t be afraid to add color to the space!
If a full margarita bar isn’t your speed, you can always offer guests these super cute mini margaritas – pre-mixed and perfect for guests to grab and hit the dance floor.
