Loved by Couples & Families
“Many of our guests kept going back up for seconds and left no crumbs… My guests loved getting to watch Juan and Co. cook the paellas during cocktail hour.”
“They brought a separate dish for those guests and served it safely. They went above and beyond to accommodate us! … Thoroughly professional, quality work all the way around.”
“I received many compliments from guests and one even said it was the first wedding he attended where the food was actually good.”

We care
Supporting Local Growers
Our paella is naturally gluten-free. We only use local fresh ingredients except for the rice, oil & spices, which are imported from Spain.
The products we use are gluten-free, never processed, with no artificial colors, MSG, flavors or preservatives.
Organic Paella Catering
Organic produce is grown without synthetic fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. Organic meat and dairy livestock receive no antibiotics or added hormones and are raised on organic feed. Genetic engineering and irradiation are never used with any organic product.
Plant A Tree Program
Since 2022, Real Paella Catering has partnered with the National Forest Foundation. We have 1 tree planted for every $100 purchase, so every order with Real Paella Catering helps the environment!
