How our wedding paella catering works in Wartling
Saffron and garlic in the air gets guests excited about the meal long before it is served. Whether it is civil partnerships and vow renewals and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, we can cook evening paella, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Wartling frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

The process
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. Golden-hour photos in Wartling at midsummer come around 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have a level space ready for the pans
