How the day works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell normally draws people over. For a summer wedding in Beech Hill, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
