If weddings had a red carpet for food, strolling food stations would be the A-listers. Here’s what’s new - you're vibing on the dance floor and suddenly someone walks up with a golden cart serving freshly filled cannolis or a warm plate of jalebis made right there. No lines. No waiting. Just gourmet drama rolling right to you!
We told you about trending live activity stations for your 2025 wedding. And let us tell you, this trend is going to be everywhere this year! What started with that now-iconic cannoli cart has evolved into burrata bars, sizzling BBQ skewers and even hot dog stations with mustard caviar (yes, that's a thing). It's like having a chef on wheels, giving you a personal foodie moment in the middle of the madness. Whether you're planning your own wedding or are just here for the food and fashion, these live strolling food stations are officially the hottest guests at any shaadi.
Let’s roll into the most mouth-watering ideas that are stealing the show and our hearts.
Tiramisu Station
No one says no to tiramisu, especially when it’s being layered in front of you like a performance art piece. A server strolls up, spoons silky mascarpone over espresso-soaked ladyfingers, grates chocolate on top and boom - dessert is served, customised to your vibe.
Cannoli Station – The One That Started It All

This viral sensation put strolling food stations on the map. Picture this: a fancy server carrying a tray stacked with freshly baked cannoli shells. He fills them on the spot with creamy, dreamy ricotta, tops them with chocolate chips, pistachio crumbs, or sprinkles and hands them out like edible confetti. It’s part theatre, part dessert and 100% Instagrammable!
Burrata Trays

Imagine being handed a plate of creamy burrata, split open right in front of you and topped with truffle oil, roasted tomatoes and basil by a strolling food artist. This is not just a dish, it’s an experience.
BBQ Love!
Live BBQ + live music = the ultimate wedding duo. Think chicken tikka, mushroom skewers, or paneer cubes sizzling on a rolling grill while you're vibing to the DJ. This one’s a crowd favourite, especially for pool parties or mehendi brunches.
Mini Hot Dogs Station - Street Food But Make It Fancy
It’s giving NYC food truck but with a tuxedo. Servers with mini grills roll through the crowd dishing out piping hot gourmet hot dogs with all the fixings. Jalapeños? Check. Mustard caviar? Sure. Mac and cheese topping? Why not. Perfect for post-sangeet munchies or late-night snacks after too many thumkas.
Our Very Own Gobi Manchurian
No wedding menu is complete without at least one Indo-Chinese hero, and this one takes the cake. How cool is this server tossing crispy Gobi in hot sauce right in front of your eyes and plating it up with scallions and sesame!

Kulfi On Wheels
Rolled in with flavours like paan, mango, and rose, topped live with falooda, nuts, and rabdi. How fun will this be?
Ice Cream Sandwich Bar
Choose your cookie + ice cream combo, with toppings added live.
Taco Trays
Mini soft tacos made live with fillings like: Butter chicken or paneer tikka or the authentic Mexican Guac, salsa, cheese, jalapeños. Or even tandoori jackfruit for the vegans!
Churros Cart
Hot churros tossed in cinnamon sugar, served with live dips like chocolate, caramel and Nutella.
Falafel Pita Pockets Trays
A strolling server hands you warm pita pockets, stuffed on-the-go with crispy falafels, dollops of hummus, pickled veggies and a live drizzle of tahini or spicy harissa. It’s a Middle Eastern mezze moment, brought straight to the dance floor
So which one will it be for you?
