Wedding paella catering in Forest Park, made fresh on the day
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: each paella has its own pan, so every guest gets a proper hot main. Popular choices include table tapas, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast, and we are regularly asked to cater big weddings with every diet and evening wedding food.
In Forest Park, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. A huge pan on the lawn fits right in. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Step by step
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Forest Park, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Catering for every guest
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Send us the running order and speech times
If things run late, and we’ll adapt the timing so the paella is served at its best.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
