Your wedding, slow-cooked

A wedding with paella cooked in front of your guests

At The Paella Experience we don’t just serve another paella: we make the cooking part of the celebration. While your guests enjoy the canapé buffet, the paellas are prepared live and the aroma of the sofrito announces what’s coming.

We adapt to the venue you’ve chosen, whether it’s a masia, a garden or a country estate, and to the format of your wedding: standing cocktail or seated service. And if you’d rather not worry about a thing, we also take care of the drinks, furniture and setup.

Pre-wedding, wedding and post-wedding

Contratamos a Raquel y a su estupendo equipo, thepaellaexperience, para nuestra boda y todo fue de maravilla. El servicio, la atención, la simpatia, la comida , evidentemente!! Las paellas increibles ! Y el buffet perfecto. Sin duda, las recomendamos y repetiremos seguro!

Rosa Maria Picazo

Encantada de haber contratado para nuestra fiesta a Paella Experience. Gran equipo, y super profesionales. Nuestras paellas las ha hecho Noe, un encanto de persona. Dos paellas buenísimas, la de verduras exquisita y la de marisco por un igual. Todos los invitados encantados y hasta han repartido! Gracias por todo.

100% recommend. We had the The Paella Experience at our wedding and Raquel and I cannot think of anything Raquel and her team could have done better. Raquel was prompt and clear in her communication before the wedding, catered for our guests' allergies, and her team was so professional on the day that we felt fully at ease for them to do their thing. Every guest RAVED about the paellas and they were sweet enough to keep aside two plates for myself and the groom. I only wish we could've thanked everyone personally - but thank you for being such a delight to work with, and for feeding everyone so well!

Joshe Perez

Raquel y su equipo se hicieron cargo de una celebración super importante que teníamos en un yate y en alta mar ,eramos 50 personas , todo salió impresionante. Las paellas son las mejores que he probado y su equipo super atento . La proxima fiesta que hagamos contaremos con ella !

Clara Kaye

Top of the chart! These ladies went beyond the call of duty with the food, presentation and especially their good and positive energy regardless of the hot and sunny day in Tarragona. We had people coming from all over the world and we wanted them to experience a real nice time and meal in our Mediterranean home and the experience was incredible.

Contratamos el servicio The Paella Esperience para un evento corporativo de crecimiento personal y ha sido todo un acierto. Ellas se ocupan de todo y te lo preparan con mucho cariño. La verdad que a todos los invitados nos sorprendió lo buenas que estaban las paellas, se notaba que eran productos de calidad y que había una experiencia detrás del resultado. Encima pudimos repetir ya que las hacen abundantes. La persona que vino a cocinar la paella Noemí conectó con todas las personas, un gran trato humano y profesional. Lo recomiendo para cualquier evento para no tener que preocuparte de nada en la comida y que los invitados queden satisfechos.
