About our wedding paella catering in Beenham
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. For weddings in a marquee or garden and weddings with lots of dietary needs, we’ll put together a menu of evening paella, table tapas and canapé tapas for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Beenham often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why choose Love Paella in Beenham

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. For a summer wedding in Beenham, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The paellas you choose
- How many staff you need
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How long we are needed on site
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The courses you’d like
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: give us the basics about your wedding, and we will make suggestions. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
