Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Weedon
Paella as evening food is popular: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so the party keeps going. Whether it is blessings and vow renewals and weddings with mixed diets, we can cook canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and table tapas and more.
Near Weedon, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Planning the cooking area
We will be honest if a space won’t work. What matters most:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For a summer wedding in Weedon, the sun sets at about 9:25pm 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 is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Leave space around the cooking area

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Enquire early for peak dates
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; any staff stay as long as agreed.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Dishes our guests love
Canapé tapas
Canapé tapas fill the gap before the meal.
Table tapas
A tapas starter gets tables talking before the paella arrives.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Choosing between paella and a traditional menu?, think about your venue, your guests’ diets and the feel of the day. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What you get with us
