How our wedding paella catering works in Wellhouse
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. We are frequently asked to cater big weddings with every diet and marquee and garden weddings, with evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas.
A wedding in a small place like Wellhouse frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Pick a serving style
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
The process
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. At midsummer, sunset in Wellhouse is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
