Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Furner's Green
Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it’s best served straight away. We plan it around your speeches and photos. Popular choices include table tapas, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and we are often booked for informal wedding breakfasts and parties after a register office wedding.
Rural weddings around Furner's Green have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
Food vans can create long queues. Paella is served quickly to many guests. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
The process
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. For a summer wedding in Furner's Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
