Sergio and his team at Nora Spanish Catering were rockstars at our wedding! First, we were victims of having to move our wedding 3 times due to COVID, and the team at Nora was always so positive, flexible and supportive as we navigated the craziness. When it finally came time to celebrate this May (2021), everyone was completely FLOORED by the quality of food provided.

The appetizers were incredible (they even made a gorgeous plate for us post nuptials to enjoy during photos!), fresh/hot/tasty. And of course, the paella was a huge hit. It was a beautiful, interactive experience for guests to watch the paella come to life during cocktail hour, and was SOOOOOO TASTY! We had three types of paella available, and the servers were very generous with portions, while making sure everyone was able to try all three if they wanted. There was plenty of food to go around, and offer seconds to those interested.

The team was great to work with and our venue had nothing but wonderful things to say about them. They also helped coordinate all rentals needed for the evening which was such a nice perk (and we got a 10% discount!).

We can't wait to enjoy their paella at their restaurant and re-live our wedding dinner!

We used Nora's Spanish catering for our wedding rehearsal dinner for 70 people and loved it! They were easy to work with throughout the process and very responsive. The presentation was beautiful and fun for guests to watch the paella making, and surprisingly affordable. There was a ton of food leftover which they boxed up. Also my husband went to Berkeley and liked La Marcha so we knew we would like the food, although they only offer tastings for weddings.

Seeing Serg & his crew develop his business from a pop up to a catering business all the way to a brick & mortar restaurant in La Marcha is inspiring.

Paella & Spanish food hold a special place in my heart as I have lived with a family in Spain, as well as my family creating a Christmas tradition of cooking it as an antithesis to the Turkey of Thanksgiving.

It's important that those here in the states get the flavor right & follow the traditions of the Spanish cuisine, which Nora perfects. What really helped in this decision is basically they treated us like family.

So...when it was time to plan for our wedding, my wife & I knew not only did we want paella, but we knew Nora was the place to go.

From the beginning, with our tasting with Adrian, it was clear we made the right choice. She was very responsive and worked well with us our wedding coordinator and the venue seamlessly. We also know it was a big task to get her staff & equipment down to the Watsonville hills since they are based in the Bay Area. We were concerned that extra costs would add up. She worked with us to make sure it didn't.

They were very flexible with the changes in numbers & variations in what we ordered.

On the wedding day, they did arrive late, but with Santa Cruz/Route 17 traffic, I don't find it alarming. We were starting to sweat a little, but what was amazing is despite this, they got set up quickly and did not delay our schedule at all!

The paella was fantastic, the Brussels were off the hook. The apps were amazing(although I didn't get to try too many as I was floating around too much!) It was great, we had a mixed seafood paella, a seafood, chicken & meat paella & a veggie/vegan paella, something for everyone!

EVERYONE at the wedding kept raving about the food. Not only because It just fit perfectly with what we wanted to achieve. The day/night was magical and that was in part ot Adrian, Serg & their fabulous staff!
