East Coast Joe's

Probably one of the best food trucks, hands down, we have ever tried. They serve lobster & they know how to do it right. We had Connecticut style with butter & it was so tender. The roll was also very good...excellent quality ingredients. When we want a good quick lobster fix, we'll have to start tracking this guy down. If you ever see this truck anywhere, get a lobster roll...you won't be disappointed. More...

Hi Anwaar!

Congratulations on your engagement! We have availability for your date. For
weddings, we typically do appetizers that are plattered, and then dinner
out of the food truck, but we have done it several different ways - plated,
buffet, family style, etc. so the truck is just an option for service. We
also do yummy desserts! Do you have a preference of what you'd like for
your wedding? Also, do you have any particular menu items that are "must
haves"? We create a custom menu for every client, so we would love to hear
your thoughts and put together some packages for you to review. We can also
start with your budget, and give you options in your price range, if that
is easier. Also, I do want to note that our food truck was bought brand new
from the factory, so it is a 2018, and is absolutely built to travel. :)

We look forward to working with you.

16:26

Hello! Thank you so much! Do you guys have any type of packages you offer?
We would like to do it this way- with pattered appetizers and think we want
to do dinner from the food truck? I will think about that some more. The
menu looks great. Honestly I am having a difficult time to give you the
must haves. I want the guests do have a variety of options just because of
food restrictions they may have. Anything on the menu with pork we could
take off the list - is it possible to make adjustments like for i.e no
bacon on the BLTs provided?

Do you have any structured pricing around # of appetizers served and how
many main items we could choose from to offer to the guests? We could start
building from my proposed budget as the baseline and will see if need to
make some adjustments for budget perspective!

Happy to hear about the new truck! Excited to work with you guys.

17:07 

Anwaar,
We dont really have packages built. Every wedding we have done has been so
different, making it hard to stick to packages. Take a look at the menu we
have online and send me over some of your must haves. Also, if there is
something you dont see, I am sure I can make it happen. There is no problem
with modifications. Once you send that over I can build a few options for
you with pricing. From there we can tailor it to your budget to assure you
get everything you want. Feel free to ask any questions.
Stay good,
Joe

Hello! In the excel spreadsheet- these are the things that caught my eyes!
Looking forward to your feedback.

Awesome!! I'll look at this in more detail on Monday and get you over some
prices. Do you have a ballpark budget?

21:27

26 APRIL 2019

Hello! We were thinking around 1K?

22:26 

Hi Anwaar,

Our food minimum is $1500 And our travel fee is $350, plus tax and service.
We wouldn't be able to work with that budget, I am sorry.

22:33

Okay that's fine. Did you get a chance to look over our spreadsheet for
pricing?

22:56 

I did look at it. I got side tracked with events. I promise I'll get
something to you before Monday morning.
Stat good,
Joe

30 APRIL 2019

Hi Anwaar! Sorry for the delay- it's the tail end of our busy season so it's been a little crazy. I've attached your spreadsheet with the base pricing. Let me know what stands out! I have today off, so I should be able to get back to you fairly quickly. :) We aren't the cheapest truck, but we use quality ingredients and make everything from scratch (but our bread comes from Noble Bread in Phoenix, and our fries are locally-sourced as well, Frites Street). I love that you have the lobster fondue fries on there for a side. It's amazing!


Reach out with any questions. Thanks!

Hi Joe! Thank you so much for the spreadsheet. We would like to proceed in
booking you for our big day! Question, if I change my mind on certain
options on the menu, will we have any flexibility in changing some? Also,
could we review a contract? Thanks so much. And looking forward to your
feedback!!

20:07 

Hi Anwaar,

That's awesome! We are thrilled to hear that! I can get you over a contract
first thing tomorrow morning. The menu is completely flexible, we just need
to know about 2 weeks out. I'll send over the contract and more details
tomorrow. Thank you!

20:19

12 MAY 2019

Hey Joe. Just following up on the contract

18:07 

Hi Anwaar,

I'm sorry for the delay, we took an impromptu trip to see my mother in law
this week for Mother's Day. I do have my laptop though and I should be able
to get it over to you tonight!

18:11

No worries!! Happy Mothers Day!

15 MAY 2019

Hi Anwaar,

Here is a sample contract. The menu/setup will need to be finalized 2 weeks
out, and RSVPs finalized 1 week out. The travel fee for Sedona is $350. The
only thing that will need to change on the contract is the sales tax...
Sedona's is 9.85%. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Do you want me send over an official contract with your details to hold the

11:48

Hey Joe,
Yes please!

21:49

Hey Joe! I am not familiar with the other form of payment so will send a
check instead unless you have something like chase quickpay?

00:43 

Yeah we have chase quickpay. You can send it to my phone number,
303.525.4949. Thanks!

03 SEPTEMBER 2019

Hi Joe! Looks like the wedding is rolling up pretty fast!

I will hopefully get to finalize guest count and menu soon. Let you know

I had a few questions. In regards to plates and utensils- what will be
provided?

Also what about beverages? What kind of non alcoholic beverages do you have?

00:04 

04 SEPTEMBER 2019

Hi Anwaar!

We are getting excited! We do several great beverage options... we have a
kegerator on our food truck, so we can have three different beverages on
tap. We love to do organic lemonade (we do a ton of flavors- we only use
all natural cane sugar and real fruit, no artificial ingredients- so let me
know if you have a flavor preference, we try to keep it seasonal.) We can
also carbonate those drinks if you want it to have bubbles.

We can also do a variety of infused teas, too. Fruit and/or herb infused.
It's great to have a tea and a lemonade on tap, so people can do half tea,
half lemonade- especially the ones who prefer a lighter option. :)

For plateware, we do our basic food truck plateware... compostable paper
boats, deli paper, and compostable silverware.

For an upcharge, we can do compostable bamboo plateware and silverware
which is really awesome and elegant!

Let me know if you have any other questions. Can't wait to see your menu
options!

00:00

Can I see a photo of the bamboo platearae and utensils? That sounds really
cool

I like the lemonade and tea options!! Would also like to make sure there is
water and soda available too!!

So excited to work with you:)

00:06 

Absolutely. Let me know if you have a preference of bottled water and soda.
We can do anything from basic bottled water and canned soda to elevated
products- Fiji bottled water and bottled soda (Mexican Coke with real cane
sugar, etc.).

Or we can do water dispensers - we usually do cucumbers and lemons in the
water, with compostable cups.

Please see the attached photo for the bamboo ware. We can get all different
shapes and sizes, so we can re-visit once we have the menu.

We can't wait to meet you! Feel free to send us any more questions. :)

I would like to proceed with the below menu. The ones that are crossed off
will no longer be on the menu.

I would also like the bamboo plates and utensils. Love those

For beverages I would like organic lemonade, iced tea, Mexican Coke with
real sugar, and water with lemon slices available!! Do you guys serve
coffee as well!

Looking so forward to this. So far my guest list is at about 55 people

Hi Anwaar,

We are in Thailand, but we get back on Wednesday. Is it ok if I go through
your email then?

Thank you!

23:53

Yes no worries! Have fun!

23:54 

23 SEPTEMBER 2019

Hello Joe! I hope your vacation was great! I am ready to finalize the menu and the timeline.  Please  review the notes from my last email- the menu is attached. Again the ones that are crossed off will no longer be on the menu.


I would also like the bamboo plates and utensils. Love those

For beverages I would like organic lemonade, iced tea, Mexican Coke with
real sugar, and water with lemon slices available!! Do you guys serve
coffee as well? Wondering if I need to print this item on my menu!

As far as timeline- my event starts at 5pm. We would like to start serving food at 6PM. What do you recommend when to get there? I was thinking 5PM.  And just confirming you would be there through when the event ends(10PM)?


Thank you in advance!

22:44 

24 SEPTEMBER 2019

Hi Anwaar!

I apologize for the delay! We have carved out some time tonight to review
everything. I'm so happy you chose the bamboo plateware - it is awesome!
Keep an eye out for an email tonight.

Thank you!

11:14

25 SEPTEMBER 2019

Thanks Joe! Looking forward to it. As soon as you confirm I will go ahead and print my menus!

00:43 

Working on it now :)

Hi Anwaar,

Please see the attached file for information regarding your wedding.

Also, can you please send us the address of the venue? Thank you!

03:42

anwaar-and-ed.pdf

Everything looks spectacular. I just have a question. Instead of the
cucumber appetizers could we replace this with tomato and mozzarella
skewers?

Everything else is great! I am looking forward to working with you guys.
Thanks so much!!

23:47 

Perfect!! We are so pumped! Which cups do you want to go with?

23:54

Also, do you want to do lemonade and tea out in dispensers or served from
the kegerator on the truck with dinner?

23:56

26 SEPTEMBER 2019

Lets do compostable. Thanks so much :)

00:20 

28 SEPTEMBER 2019

Hi Joe


How do people normally serve the food so the lines dont get crowded if serving from the food truck?

13:01 

Hi Anwaar,

Do you have a seating chart for tables? We can send you an email survey to
send out to your guests, where people can choose which entree they want.
Then you give us a list of who is at what tables. They you can dismiss by
tables, and they come up and tell us their name and we hand them their
food. Then there's really not much of a wait because we already know what
they are ordering. :) Or if there isn't a seating chart, there's other ways
around it - we can do the bridge and groom, then the bridal party, then
find a way to break up the rest of the guests. Or we can do it
alphabetically: A-H, I-P, Q-Z. But with 55 people, it should not be that
much of a wait at all -I'd say around an hour? Let me know what you think.

*Thank you!*

14:34

29 SEPTEMBER 2019

Hi joe! Thays great. Please send me the email survey option. Is it possible
to have a few orders of mac and cheese for the kids? I have like 3

22:49 

03 OCTOBER 2019

Hey! I got everyone's orders in advance. Let me know

00:36 

Hi Anwaar,

Can you send the list over with their first and last name, entree, and
table #? (Or the order they will be dismissed)

10:56

07 OCTOBER 2019

Hi Joe,

Please see attached. I had a few that were undecided who will have to order
from the truck the day of! Assuming all comes with fries!

23:13 

seating-chart-and-food-requests.xlsx

Sounds great! If we can figure out a way to dismiss folks in groups of
8-ish, that would be great.

23:58

08 OCTOBER 2019

Hi Joe! I forgot to ask. Is there anybody that you could bring to serve the
food? If not, we could just have the dj call the table numbers

00:00 

10 OCTOBER 2019

Hey Joe

On the list I provided to you could you please add the following orders to
vicky and alfonso : Philly Cheesesteak with ribeye

08:07 

Ok no problem. And we dont have a server, so it is best if the DJ can
dismiss by table. What time is he arriving so we can chat with him?

Can you send me the address and any parking instructions. Also, if there is
a coordinator there, or anyone on site you think we need to connect with,
feel free to send their info over. :)

10:19

Hello! DJ will arrive around 330pm. Noted on dismissing by table.

As for the coorindator I will have 2 people in charge of the food truck
tasks!

Please contact henna tail 18478407491
Or lili shatat +13127990621

As for parking- the event coordinator from the resort says people typically
do the following :
Hi! We just had a wedding last night and had the food truck where the
employee parking is at the bottom of the stairs out front. How fun!! Let me
know what else I can help with.

13:28 

Perfect!

11 OCTOBER 2019

Hi Anwaar,


Do you have any vendors that we will need to feed tonight? If so, how many?

12:55

* I meant tomorrow night :)

12:55

Sorry tonight? Tomorrow we will have to feed the photgrapher , videographer
harpist and DJ :)

12:57 

My wedding is on saturday october 12!!

12:57 

I meant tomorrow. :) 4 vendor meals - sounds good!

12:58

Okay thank God! :)) Joe you almost made me pass out hahaha! Great see you
guys soon!!

13:01 

Hahahahaha. Nothing like a good scare the day before your wedding!! And apps at 6 and Dinner at 7 still the timeline? Just let me know if anything needs to be adjusted. We're excited!

13:03

Right!! Actually... anyway we can start appetizers at 545?

That would be great

13:09 

Yes, ma'am!

Can you send the address, too?


Thank you!

13:10

Absolutely! Its

120 Canyon Cir Dr, Sedona, AZ 86351

13:14 

Thank you! And last question I promise - will the venue have a table/tablecoth for us - for drinks and apps to go on? One 8 foot table is fine.

13:15

Actually I have an extra one I ordered. I will make sure they bring that
one so you could use it! And no worries. I will also check on the table
cloth. Is there anyway we can place the appetizer closer to where the
courtyard is or would we need to have it by the food truck? And no
worries.please ask any questions you need

13:26 

We can have the apps and drinks wherever you would like. :)

13:31

Wonderful! Sounds like a plan! If you have anymore questions please dont
hesitate to ask!

13:32 

12 OCTOBER 2019

Hey joe

People will be allowed to order more tha one entree :) so please bring some
extra ingredients. I know quite a few who will get up for seconds

10:43 

Ok, sounds good!! Happy wedding day!

10:45

Woohoo thank you!!

11:16 

13 OCTOBER 2019

midnight tonight. It will come via email from Square.

Thank you again for letting us be a part of your wedding!

It was a pleasure working with Joe!! My guests were raving about
the food and I had a philly cheesesteak myself. Thank you so much for your
service and great tasting food. It was nice to deviate from the boring bad
banquet food at weddings and very nice for a change. Sorry I didnt get to
meet you personally. We were happy to have you and Thank you for your kind
words More...
