Horrible service and very unprofessional!! I do not recommend hiring this company for any event that has significant meaning. My daughter was urged to hire the owner’s wife as the day of event coordinator in order to make sure that we could s...
pend time together getting ready and to be able to enjoy the special moments of her big day. We ended up having to set up and coordinate the flow of the events ourselves, as the evening progressed. After not completing her job, my daughter was haggled, while on the dance floor of her wedding, to pay the remaining portion of the bill (without even being able to review it). After writing an email about the evening, the response from the owner was filled with unprofessional argumentative comments- there was no resolution offered.
Youry marketed his wife as a professional planner and in our experience she was far from that. It looked more like she was in training and we were the Guinea pigs. She got the schedule ahead of time but did not perform as expected and everythi...
ng got behind schedule. She was unable to communicate with the bride because she didn’t speak English. We paid extra to have the waiters there prior to the event because Youry said they could help with whatever needed to be setup. That was not the case! The waiters were lost and the bride’s family assumed the role of the coordinator. Total waste of money. Word of advice….hire a coordinator who has nothing to do with any of your vendors. We learned the hard way. When I addressed these and several other issues with him after the wedding, Youry became irate and called me a liar while screaming at the top of his lungs. Totally unprofessional and disrespectful! He does not have the demeanor to deal with the public. Hire at your own risk and if something goes wrong good luck getting an apology or coming to a resolution!
Don Paella Catering was delicious food!! They prepared it just outside and arrived earlier enough with just the right amount of time to prepare the food and have it hot and ready for when it was time to eat. Very good and filling food beautifu...

Any questions?
I recently used Don Paella as my caterer for my wedding and I was really impressed with the professionalism of his staff. They were punctual and very efficient. The appetizers and paella was incredibly delicious. I would recommend anyone to boo...
k him for their event.
The food was amazing, the servers he works with are fantastic and really helped everything look as it should. They're a bit disorganized and had us do a lot of the legwork just because we didn't have a planner and they would not answer within a...
day. Also on the day of, he called to confirm which Paellas I had ordered (they're all over my invoice). If you work with them and don't have a planner, please please have a clear indication from the venue what you need them to submit and get all that paperwork done well in advance.

Hi,
I'd like to thank you for trusting our company to cater your wedding. I see that you were not 100% satisfied and surpassing our customer's expectation is always our priority. Would you please call me at your convenience (or provide me with ...
the invoice#) I'd like to know a bit more about what happened. Again thank you so much.

I was happy with the food and the flexibility when it came to what we wanted to provide to our guests. The price was fair as well. I had a hard time getting the company to respond to my calls as the day approached, which was scary with an appro...
aching wedding- I thought we might be eating pizza on the wedding day! Also, the bartenders provided did not know how to make a Pimms cup (we had planned to have a pre ceremony bar with Pimms cup, beer and wine provided- we ended up having the scrap the Pimms at the last second) and the staff wasn't fluent in English and the overwhelming majority of our guests did not speak Spanish. Overall, it all worked out, but there were a few stressful moments during the planning and I would have preferred staff that spook English for our guests.
My husband and I wanted Paella at our wedding, no questions asked. We got a few proposals from different vendors but Don Paella was the only one that we had tried and liked so we chose him. Youry was very helpful, friendly and responsive. Our...
catering with Don Paella included appetizers, paella and arroz con pollo that were all delicious as well as our serve staff and bartender. The serve staff provided excellent service, the chef provided excellent food but the bartender was not what we had hoped and the chef was not completely prepared for our venue. Overall, I would say that we would use Don Paella again in the future but just for food.
When initially booking these caterers, I read a review stating they were over an hour late to arrive and begin cooking, leaving guests with no food. I took that into account, and had cheese/fruit/veggie plates out for guests - and it's a good t...
hing I did, as Don Paella was over an hour late. When they finally arrived, my wedding coordinator had to send home a very rude and arrogant bartender. Thankfully the food was tasty - however they did not bring ANY chafing dishes and all the pork was cold at the tme of service. While the servers were kind and helpful, at the end of the night, the head of the staff proceeded to argue with my father over the late service, the rude bartender and the fact that the pork was cold. All in all, I would have chosen another, more reliable company, as Youry typically took a few days to return calls and e-mails. I would give them 2.5 stars, but do not have the option. Youry did extend a small discount, but I can't say that makes it ok. Yummy food - crap service.
Don Paella was a hit at our wedding. Entertaining to watch. Everyone seemed to love the paella. Coconut shrimp was the favorite appetizer. They were on time and made plenty of food. I would definitely recommend!
