How our wedding paella catering works in Towersey
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. For destination-style celebrations at home and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, we can cook canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella for your guests.
Near Towersey, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
The pans are often set up where guests can see them, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
We can provide crockery and waiting staff if your venue doesn’t.
What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
