Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Bagnum
Evening paella is a favourite: it is hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. For evening food for extra guests and destination-style celebrations at home, we’ll put together a menu of evening paella, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast for your guests.
Near Bagnum, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. You will know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.
What wedding paella catering costs
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The paellas you choose
- Waiting and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs

A closer look at the menu
Canapé tapas
Small bites carried round on boards while guests mingle, ideal for the drinks reception.
Table tapas
Tapas set out on every table to share, such as patatas bravas, croquetas and Manchego.
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
