Juan, Elisa, and the whole team made for an amazing and memorable reception. We had tapas, two types of paella (traditional and vegetarian), and sangria. The food was first rate and as for the paella, you can't get a fresher catered meal in town, since its cooked onsite. The tapas were obliterated and my guests are still talking about how great they were. Juan was able to get a Jamon Serrano leg for us, so we had a jamon carving station, which is an unusual and impressive addition to any feast. My husband and I were very particular about what we we wanted and Juan was able to accommodate our every request in terms of food, service, rentals, and timing. I can't recommend Juan enough for his amazing food and service!

Rehearsal Dinner Perfection!

We ended up working with PV for our rehearsal dinner and I'm so glad we did! Our guests enjoyed the chicken vegetable paella and vegetarian (vegan) paella soooo much that they still keep talking about it a week later!! The entire staff was professional and responsive from start to finish. Thank you PV!! I will definitely think of you again, for my next event!

I am a wedding coordinator and I have worked with Paella Valenciana twice now and could not have been more happy! Tanya is super responsive with phone calls and emails and always gets back to me in a timely manner. She was very helpful when choosing the menu and was super flexible on what we needed. Not only was their customer service great, but their food!!! OMG. You have to try it to understand. It was amazing I wanted to get seconds and thirds! Can't wait to work with them again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
