About our wedding paella catering in Woolmer Hill
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. On the menu are Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for barn and farm weddings and sharing-style wedding meals.
Rural weddings around Woolmer Hill have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. You will know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.
Live paella or other catering?
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with the right extras it feels just as special. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Woolmer Hill

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

When should we book?

Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding

Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
