Paella Time did a fantastic job catering our wedding. All of the staff showed up on time and well-dressed for the day. We got several compliments on the tapas and paella. The lead staff person, Sochi, was incredibly attentive to us and was tho...
ughtful enough to set aside a plate of appetizers for us while we were taking pictures. She also prepared a salad and an individual pan of paella for our sweetheart table. All in all, paella was a great choice for our special day and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this unconventional dish for your wedding day. There are plenty of options to choose from to tailor the food to your dietary wants/needs. The cherry on top is that this is a full service vendor who made planning/invoicing so much easier. Thanks again Paella Time!

people I've ever worked with - on time and efficient! Compliments to everyone at Paella Time for making our day look and feel absolutely special! (good call on the plates and utensils btw. What was I thinking - paper plates and disposables?!) All of our guests had wonderful things to say about the food, the tableware settings and your team. Needless to say many guests took leftovers and the business cards that were on the table! One guest asked if there was a restaurant where he can order from! :-) Thank you!

Better than our tasting, and I thought that was the best I ever had. Can it get any better??? We received countless compliments about the service, food, and uniqueness of the catering. Having the paella cooked right there from scratch in front of everyone creates a really fun experience for everyone. Many of our guests had never seen paella cooked live before, and really enjoyed the show. We can't thank the Paella Time team enough for really delivering as promised.

they are full service - they offer linens, table settings, bartending, etc. Some other reviews mentioned poor communication so I was nervous about that, however we didn’t have any of those problems. I felt like they were also reasonably priced. Not dirt cheap but cheaper than many other places. Around $55-$58 per person out the door with tip, tapas, salad and paella. The only down side that I will mention is for them to provide bartending services they have you premake all the cocktails and prepare garnishes. That wasn’t a big deal and is easy to do however it was a pain to find beverage bins to store the cocktails in and they weren’t at BevMo (as they recommended and we checked 2) and I couldn’t find anything at 2 other stores I checked either so I ended up just buying plastic storage bins which wasn’t ideal. Other wise - so fun and amazing and I would definitely highly recommend them!

Instead of sending long, text-based emails, it would be great to have a form to fill out online or some other more streamlined, efficient approach! We were very pleased with Paella Time and felt that our money was well-spent for the food, service, and overall experience.

sting, which was great -- everything was delicious, and Ralph (the owner) seemed cool. Then, over the next couple weeks and months, Ralph became intense to handle. Yes, he is organized, he is diligent, and he takes care of a lot of the details, but my (now) wife and I found him very stressful to deal with. Every time we would make even the smallest suggestion or adjustment, we would get so much pushback -- it was like PULLING TEETH to get what we wanted! BUT, luckily, none of that carried over to the wedding day itself... mostly because Ralph wasn't there! Everything went smoothly, the food was great, everyone loved the paella, the servers and bartenders were awesome, and all the details were completely taken care of. The only (not so minor) issue was that after the wedding Ralph apparently 'scolded' our wedding coordinator over the phone over something that completely wasn't her responsibility. Not cool. TLDR; if you can minimize the amount of time and energy you have to spend dealing with Ralph, everything else Paella Time offers is awesome and you should have a great experience!
