Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Coldblow
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: every paella is cooked separately, so every guest gets a proper hot main. Typical bookings include destination-style celebrations at home and farm and barn venues, with table tapas, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast.
Couples in Coldblow often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
