Final Thoughts & How to Book
1. Choose the Right Paella for Your Guests One of the best things about paella is its versatility. From traditional seafood paella to hearty chicken and chorizo, there’s a flavour for everyone. At Paella amor, all our paellas are gluten-free, and we also offer a vegetarian option that’s gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and nut-free (i.e., vegan catering)—perfect for guests with dietary requirements. Make sure to ask your guests ahead of time about any food allergies or preferences so you can plan accordingly.
We can mix and match our pans to suit your guest numbers. For example, for 80 guests, we would cater a 1m (70 guests) paella and a 55cm (12 guests) paella. This would serve up to 82 guests and allow the option to offer two different flavours, further enhancing your paella party experience! Additionally, you can offer tapas-style starters like Spanish olives, chorizo bites, or patatas bravas to complement your paella spread.
2. Pair Your Paella with the Perfect Drinks No paella party is complete without a refreshing drink in hand. Our beverage packages include sangria—arguably the best pairing for paella! Whether it’s a classic red sangria or a crisp white version, the fruity and slightly spiced flavors enhance the rich, savory notes of the paella.
If you’re supplying your own drinks, we recommend a Spanish white wine like Albariño for seafood paella or a bold Tempranillo for a meat-based option. Sparkling Cava can also add a festive touch to your event. Need help with service? Our professional bar staff can take care of pouring and serving so you can relax and enjoy the party. We offer our highly trained bar staff as an additional element to our paella catering. These seasoned waiters ensure that no one has an empty glass, creating a seamless and sophisticated event experience.
3. Create a Festive Atmosphere A paella party is more than just a meal—it’s an experience. Set the mood with Spanish-inspired décor, like colorful table settings, string lights, and lively flamenco music in the background. If your event is outdoors, consider adding some cozy seating areas so guests can mingle while watching the paella being cooked.
Our team brings the cooking experience to life, making it an interactive and engaging part of your celebration. Your guests can come up to our paella catering team and have a chat about paella. We are more than happy to have guests watch us cook and ask questions along the way. Paella catering is more than just making food; it’s a complete experience for your guests. You can even take it a step further by incorporating live entertainment, such as a Spanish guitarist or flamenco dancer, to immerse your guests in an authentic Spanish atmosphere.
4. Keep the Event Hassle-Free with Full-Service Catering One of the biggest advantages of hiring Paella amor is that we take care of everything, from set-up to clean-up. We bring all the necessary equipment, cook fresh on-site, and even remove the rubbish after the event, leaving your space spotless.
This means you get to enjoy your own party without the stress of cooking or cleaning up afterward. It’s an easy and affordable way to cater and truly allows the host to relax and actually enjoy their party. Our team is there to ensure your guests (and importantly, you) have a great time. Whether it’s serving up steaming plates of paella or ensuring drinks are flowing smoothly, we handle all the details.
5. Book in Advance to Secure Your Date Paella parties are growing in popularity in Sydney, and prime dates fill up quickly, especially weekends which often fill up one month prior. If you have a specific date in mind, we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.
Whether it’s a backyard party, corporate gathering, or wedding, we tailor our catering services to suit your needs and make your event unforgettable. Plus, securing your booking early ensures we can discuss any special requirements and customise the experience exactly how you want it.
6. Why a Paella Party is a Unique and Memorable Experience Unlike traditional catering, where food is simply plated and served, paella catering creates an interactive experience. Guests can watch the cooking process, ask questions, and even take part in stirring the paella. This makes for an engaging and fun atmosphere that people will remember long after the party is over.
It’s also a fantastic option for both casual and formal events. Whether you’re looking to create a relaxed backyard gathering or an elegant corporate event, paella catering is flexible and adaptable to any setting.
7. Tips for Hosting Large Groups with Paella Catering If you’re catering for a large group, consider offering multiple paella flavours to keep your guests excited. Our team can cook multiple paellas simultaneously, ensuring everyone gets a hot and delicious meal without long wait times.
Additionally, having a structured serving plan—can help maintain a smooth flow at your event. We’ll work with you to determine the best serving approach based on your guest count and event style.
