Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Horne
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. Whether it is sharing-style wedding meals and receptions after an intimate ceremony, we will put together a menu of canapé tapas, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast for your guests.
Rural weddings around Horne have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
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.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Step by step
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Horne, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
