About our wedding paella catering in Bramling
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. Whether it is relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and weddings with lots of dietary needs, we can cook a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and table tapas and more.
Rural weddings around Bramling have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. At midsummer, sunset in Bramling is about 9:15pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
