Corporate events should be memorable for the right reasons. Real Paella Catering cooks authentic Valencian paella on-site for client appreciation events, company picnics, fundraisers and receptions across North Florida, from small teams up to 1,000 guests.
Why companies choose paella
- A centerpiece guests talk about. Live cooking in traditional pans draws people together and gets them talking.
- Scales to large groups. From a team lunch to an event of up to 1,000 guests.
- Licensed and insured. We are licensed for liquor, wine and beer, and we meet all FDA Food Code inspection standards with no violations.
- Simple to book. Request your quote online, then confirm with an online contract signed electronically.
How it works
- Cooked in front of your guests in traditional paella pans, so the cooking is part of the fun.
- About 2 hours from setup until we are ready to serve.
- No kitchen, water or electricity needed. Just a flat outdoor area of at least 10′ x 10′ (more for larger parties) and access for our truck and trailer. We always bring a tent in case of rain.
- Served from the pan buffet style, or plated to the tables with servers.
Guest minimums are 15 within about an hour of Tallahassee and 50 farther away, up to 1,000 guests. Full details on how it works.
