How the day works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. Golden-hour photos in Broomfield at midsummer come around 9:15pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Before we arrive
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Let us know the timings for the day
