What wedding paella catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many courses
- How long we are needed on site
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
The menu, dish by dish
Table tapas
Bowls and boards set down in the middle of each table, such as patatas bravas, croquetas and Manchego.
Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food.
