How the day works
When we arrive, 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. For a summer wedding in East Anton, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
