Say "I Do" to an Experience Worth Savoring
Weddings in Auckland are evolving — they're becoming more personal, more relaxed, and way more flavour-forward. And right at the heart of this transformation? A rising star in the culinary world: food truck wedding catering.
Forget stuffy, plated meals. Picture handcrafted sourdough pide cooked on-site in a wood-fired oven, served fresh from a custom-built yellow truck — that’s the Woodspirit promise. Our Turkish-inspired menu turns your wedding meal into a shared experience, one that's smoky, interactive, and unforgettable.
Because food shouldn’t just be something your guests eat. It should be something they remember.
Why Food Truck Catering Is Stealing the Show
Traditional wedding catering can feel a bit… predictable. Food truck catering, on the other hand, offers something entirely different. Here’s why so many Auckland couples are switching lanes:
1. Interactive & Entertaining
Guests don’t just eat — they watch the magic happen. From rolling the dough to firing it in the wood oven, every step adds to the festive atmosphere.
2. A Visual Feast
Our truck doesn’t just cook food — it complements your aesthetic. Whether you're tying the knot in a vineyard, backyard, or on a rooftop, we fit right in and look the part.
3. Tailored to Your Guest List
From intimate elopements to 200+ guest celebrations, we scale up (or down) with ease.
4. Fully Self-Contained
No kitchen? No problem. We bring everything we need and leave nothing but satisfied guests.
5. Flexible Setup
Whether it’s a midday garden party or a twilight soirée, our mobile kitchen fits seamlessly into your schedule and flow.
Meet the Menu: Turkish-Inspired, Kiwi-Loved
Our showstopper? Turkish pide — a boat-shaped sourdough flatbread packed with bold, Mediterranean flavours. It’s often called “pizza’s cooler, ancient cousin.”

Sucuk: Spiced Turkish sausage, cheese, and chilli oil.
Mince & Cheese: Spiced lamb mince with gooey cheese.
