Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Springvale
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. Typical bookings include weddings with mixed diets and destination-style celebrations at home, serving evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas.
For a smaller place like Springvale, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground and access. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.
Step by step
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. In Springvale, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.

What if photos overrun?
We plan for it. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it is ready when you are.
Should we have more than one paella?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
What’s in the pans
Paella wedding breakfast
Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables, with bread and salad.
Table tapas
Sharing tapas breaks the ice.
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Connect us with your coordinator
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Somewhere close to park and unload
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.
