Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
