Paella Time made our backyard wedding a total hit!

From the first email, they were so easy to work with, and answered all my (many!) questions. Tiffany helped us customize the menu for guests with dietary restrictions which was awesome.

On the big day, the staff was professional and friendly, and set up everything so smoothly. All of the the food was incredible. Our guests are still telling us watching the chef cook the paella right there was a cool experience.

If you're looking for something unique and delicious for your wedding (or any event), I can't recommend Paella Time enough. You won't regret it!

Best catering in the bay!

Paella Time catered our wedding, and from start to finish, they were absolutely phenomenal. One of the most unforgettable moments was when one of their team members, completely unprompted, began playing the venue’s piano and singing during our first look. It was such a beautiful, unexpected touch that added real magic to the day.

And the food? Out of this world. Our guests raved about the paella! People were lining up for seconds (and thirds!), and there wasn’t a single leftover by the end of the night. That’s how you know it was a hit. Thankfully, we made sure to eat plenty ourselves!

If you’re on the fence about booking Paella Time, don’t be. Just do it and hope they’re available for your date. We just returned from our honeymoon in Spain, and the paella at our wedding was every bit as good as what we had over there. They truly brought flavor, joy, and a whole lot of heart to our special day. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you Ralph and the team so much for making our wedding out of this world. We will be forever grateful.

5 Stars - Fantastic Experience with Paella Time

As the father of the groom, I was thrilled with our decision to hire Paella Time for my son's wedding. The food was delicious, bringing authentic Spanish flavors that everyone enjoyed. The live cooking station added a wonderful touch to the celebration, and the tapas and sangria were crowd-pleasers.

The team at Paella Time was professional and accommodating, working smoothly with our venue and other vendors. Their attention to detail made the entire planning process much easier.

Our guests had a great time, and many commented on how much they loved the food. Paella Time helped make the wedding day special, and I highly recommend them for any event. Thank you, Paella Time, for a memorable experience!
