How our wedding paella catering works in Amen Corner
Timing is everything with paella: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We plan it around your speeches and photos. Whether it is informal wedding breakfasts and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, we can cook Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and evening paella and more.
Weddings in a place like Amen Corner often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Tell us about access to the field or garden. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. At midsummer, sunset in Amen Corner is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
