What happens on the day
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 the timing is planned around your event. In Milton Regis, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
