What wedding paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Waiting and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
- Distance and access to the venue
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Put us in touch with your venue

Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
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.

How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. In Bow Brickhill, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Share the running order, including any speeches
