What wedding paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many courses
- The length of service
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- What the venue already provides
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Kippington
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. We are often asked to cater farm and barn venues and weddings with lots of dietary needs, with table tapas, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.
Weddings in a place like Kippington frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Let us know about access for the van. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

How it works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. For a summer wedding in Kippington, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
