How the day works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. For a summer wedding in Westerton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.

What wedding paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you need crockery
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many courses
- Timings and hours
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:
- What the venue already provides
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Paella compared with other options
Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella goes straight from pan to plate when guests are ready. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- A quote that spells everything out

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
