Sensational Paella Catering Company

l he truly loves what he does and will always go above and beyond to make your day perfect. We had 3 huge pans of paella (seafood, country style meat, and vegetable), a grazing table (which was a HUGE hit), empanadas (an absolute must) and chocolate churros! Everyone is still talking about how unique and incredible the food was. His team was amazing, everyone was so kind and accommodating and they went above and beyond to make our day special. The food is top quality and the catering team made it all the better. Thank you so much Julian & Sensational Paella Catering- we would love to work with you again in the future and would recommend you to anyone looking for the best catering for their special event!

own fall was having to wait another 6 months to eat it again at our wedding. The wedding experience was so easy and again the food was amazing. People took his cards and I’ve been telling everyone to hire them for their next event. Everyone was amazed by the grazing table and the shrimp were a hit. I literally have 0 complaints. I’m just trying to figure out an excuse to hire them again. Thank you so much!

ing day! If you're wondering about how Paella will be recieved by your family then consider no more, Sensation Paella will not disappoint. I am a Midwest girl raised on Meat and Potatoes who fell in love with a southeastern Mass guy who ate frog legs and oysters before he was ten and we hired Chef Julian at Sensational Paella to prepare our wedding dinner! When I told my Midwest family we were eating Paella they didn't know what I was talking about, but I told them to trust me, it would be delicious! Fast forward to wedding day, they were all taking seconds of the seafood Paella! We paired a California tempranillo wine with the Paella and Portuguese pops! Chef Julian was easy to work with from the moment we initially contacted him to explore options, to contracting, to final head counts, and being on point the day of the wedding! It was a highlight for our guests to see the process of the food being prepared during the cocktail hour, as they prepared the Paella in 3-ft skillets!

od and the service we received. Julian and his team were a pleasure to work with, and take great pride in both the food and the presentation—of the paella and the charcuterie spread. The charcuterie spread was really a work of art. Julian also had a lot of great recommendations around how we should approach the food service, which was really helpful. We are already thinking about ways to hire Sensational Paella again, for a birthday party or another upcoming event. Would absolutely recommend 10/10.

after booking our venue and he quickly responded to my email before setting up a phone call. After talking to Julian over the phone, it was evident how much passion this individual put into his business. And let me tell you, this business is about more than just food!! Julian’s abilities go far beyond being a fantastic chef, he is also a knowledgeable and organized businessman, a talented videographer (check out the video he made us on his Instagram page!) a great day-of coordinator, and an overall calming presence to have on your big day as well as the days (weeks, months, years!!) leading up to it. Throughout our very long engagement (covid) Julian was consistently reaching out to us in support of our planning and vision. Julian even attended our PEAK rentals appointment at their showroom to support us in selecting the best plates, cutlery, linens, etc! Once the big day finally arrived, Julian and his team were on-site early and ready to go! Although as the bride I was unable to support in all the unpacking/setup, I was told by so many of my family members and friends that Julian and his team were front and center-jumping into action and directing others in ensuring the floor plan was executed to perfection. Like all brides before me, the big day has come and gone, but I truly will feel connected to Sensational Paella for decades to come. We highly recommend booking with Sensational Paella if you are looking for fantastic and beautifully presented food, great vibes, friendly and organized staff, and just an overall sensational catering experience!

aty prosciutto. Dinner was a dream and our guests were so impressed. What I appreciated most was Julian reminding my partner and I to eat before things got too crazy - good looking out! :)

very pleasant throughout. Great communication and reasonable prices, would 100% recommend hiring Sensational Paella.

s table is GORGEOUS and fed 160 people at least twice. My brother and cousin thought Julian got his hands on my mom’s family recipe the food was so good! My girlfriend told me I should have reminded everyone dinner was to follow the cocktail hour. We have pictures of guest going up for seconds during dinner. Brides you will not find a better caterer if you believe in great food and service! His phone calls are never quick. He wants to make sure you are heard and your dreams for your guest are met. He personally prepared my husband’s and I plates so we would eat at the wedding. Julian’s team is the best!!!!!

and Julian worked closely with us and our other vendors on budget. Thanks, Sensational Paella!

up and ran a flawless operation the day of. The 3 paellas they made; Seafood Paella, Paella Campesina (Country Style Meat Paella), and Vegetarian Paella, were an absolute hit in every way. Not only did they taste amazing but they looked beautiful and many of our guests spent time watching the chefs at work (their stand was like a show!). If we are host another big event, we will be calling Sensational Paella.

was such a fun and unique experience for the guests and any leftovers were happily devoured the next day!

with our covid reschedule. All our guests raved about the food and we were easily able to accommodate all our guests dietary restrictions. 10/10!!

anted a unique food option for our wedding and Julian wowed us at our tasting - we knew it was exactly what we were looking for! We also had quite a few guests with dietary restrictions, and every single person was able to eat until they were stuffed. If you are looking for a special meal that will impress even the pickiest of foodies, look no farther than Julian & his team!

he wedding last year due to covid-19. The charcuterie was a strong kickoff to the wedding -- our guests loved it and many said it was the best they'd had. The paella was also phenomenal -- my only regret is that I only had room for one serving. Would highly recommend, and would absolutely work with them again if we had to do it all over. Thank you!

talk to and unbelievably accommodating when we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid. I was nervous about the buffet flow for 150 guests but service was fast and easy. All of our guests were thrilled by the food; we heard over and over how much it was enjoyed. I so strongly recommend Sensational Paella for any event. From the intimate tasting at Julian’s home to the incredibly professional service you will be blown away by it all.

with something truly special. When I stumbled across Sensational Paella, I knew we had found exactly that--something truly special. Julian, his wife, and the entire crew treated us like family from start to finish. They always seemed genuinely excited to be working with us, and truly committed to providing a great experience for our guests. On the day of, they did such a phenomenal job of getting everything set up and sticking to our timeline, and I've never seen a faster and more efficient event breakdown -- the hall looked pristine not even 20 minutes after all the guests left. Then, of course there was the food. FREAKING AMAZING. Our guests couldn't stop telling us how amazing the paella was; so many people told us it was the best food they ever had at a wedding, which meant the world to us. There was more than enough paella for all our guests to have as much as they wanted AND for us to still take home three big tray fulls of paella. We opted for four different paellas on our buffet: the paella mixta (meat and seafood), seafood paella, meat paella, and veg paella--which was an awesome selection that naturally catered to guests with food restrictions or allergies without compromising on a great meal. The whole team at Sensational Paella went above and beyond for us, making sure we got a sample of the charcuterie platter all to ourselves, and bringing us plates of food right at the beginning of dinner. They even brought in and stacked all the chairs from our outdoor ceremony during dinner, which was really kind and saved us so much time at the end of the night. I couldn't recommend Sensational Paella more. If you want something unique that will really wow your guests, you cannot possibly go wrong with Julian and his team. Great people and great food that made our night a wedding to remember.

Y recommend his services. He talked us through every detail and covered all the bases during the planning phase. Oh and added bonus, the paella was SO GOOD. We had the seafood, meat and vegetarian and were impressed with all three. We are so very pleased with Sensational Paella.

. Julian was super fun and easy to work with and his staff were extremely professional. Our only regret is that we wish we had more time to enjoy the paella prep from start to finish on our wedding day because it is so impressive! Look no further if you want the perfect New England catering experience for your wedding or event.

mp, & paellas. Not only do they look incredible, especially compared to the bland pre-plated chicken you'll get at other events, they taste phenomenal too. While we can't compliment them enough, our wedding band said that Sensational Paella's food was the best wedding food they've ever had. Not only will you get incredible food, I also want to mention the incredible service. Julian and his team were the perfect hosts for our event. We had a few prep calls before the event and they worked perfectly with our bartending vendor and day-of-coordinator to make the day go off without a hitch. Now invite us to your event so we can eat some more of their food!

ands how weddings flow and the best setup for your day and his team. He also hosted us at his house for our tasting, where he cooked a paella especially for us, complete with a small charcuterie and a bottle of wine! We had such a blast during our tasting, chatting with Julian and getting to know him and his business. After looking at other caterers, they just didn’t come close to Sensational Paella. Julian was so easy to work with, and he helped us build a package that fit within our budget and provided exceptional service. We had several phone calls to go over final details of our wedding day, and had so many compliments about the food and his staff; we ended up selecting a large charcuterie and three paellas (mixta, campesina, and vegetarian) so that our guests had a variety of food to choose from. Everyone raved about the paella and the special details that Julian and his team put into our day. My husband and I actually made sure that we sat down and ate dinner because that’s how much we were looking forward to the paella, and it was delicious! We cannot recommend him enough!

specific request for any caterer we hired- a nacho bar for the appetizer, (not exactly in the usual paella menu). Not only did Julian and his staff do a nacho bar, they served probably the best nachos we've ever had. The paella was also absolutely delicious. Our guests were blown away by the food itself and the cooking spectacle. Julian is very responsive and enthusiastic- exactly what you want in a wedding vendor. We are very grateful that Sensational Paella was able to make the trip to Western Mass for our wedding. They served memorable, beautiful, and delicious food, and they were easy to work with throughout the process. I would recommend to anyone who wants delicious food, different food, or just an easy and good value caterer for their wedding.

atering paellas fit the bill. Firstly, they are absurdly delicious. Honestly, I’ve never had a paella that tasted that good. When we were first looking at vendors, we stopped by Julian’s house for a tasting. He surprised us with a massive spread of charcuterie, wine, and a fresh-cooked batch of paella. We stayed around for more than 2 hours, devouring the food and enjoying Julian’s company. It was a no-brainer: we made the decision that night to hire Sensational Paella. The food was a hit with guests, too. We got so many compliments about the tapas, charcuteries and paellas. The staff was very smooth – making sure guests got served quickly and efficiently. And after a long wedding day, the food was comforting. The owner, Julian, is also a treat to work with. I’ve never seen someone so enthusiastic about sharing the paella experience. This guy lives and breathes paellas – but more than that, he wants to make sure your wedding (or any event) is a true sensory experience. Get this: Julian even offered to take us to the airport for our honeymoon. When he picked us up, the back seat was filled with wine, chocolate and strawberries. We started our honeymoon off right! This man is a class act. He instilled confidence in us every step of the way. Sensational Paella, is – dare I say it – sensational. I highly recommend hiring them. Keep up the good work. I’m still dreaming about those tasty paellas.

got compliments from our guests all night. Their presentation is amazing. During cocktail hour, our guests could see the paellas being made from the veranda, which got them excited for what was coming. We wanted to throw our guests a feast, and the huge, beautiful trays of appetizers and paella really add to that atmosphere. Julian and his team also did a great job setting up our tables and decorations; they even found ways to use our extra flowers! The staff was organized, on time, kind, attentive, communicative, and professional. We would definitely recommend them for any event!

, the day before our wedding. I'm so glad we had them cater our welcome party so our guests could experience authentic paella (both of my parents are from Latin America and my grandfather is Spanish) so it was very important to us to not only incorporate the heritage component but that it also be delicious. If we could have we would have used them to cater our wedding family style instead, but our venue required us to use their caterer. So we used them for our welcome party instead. We hired a paella caterer in Miami, for a prior family event, and they didn't come close to what we ate from Sensational, his ingredients were so fresh and top quality it made a big difference in the final product we received. We had leftovers and our friends and family are huge eaters/drinkers so I was also happy that we didn't have to worry about their not being enough food. We had extra which we took home and ate the day after our wedding. It is so good a couple of days later too! They were on time, the food was ready on time they even made a custom dish for us, as the bride and groom, in a mini paella platter that made us feel so special! They even customized our playlist so as to go with the them of our welcome party. Really, I am so fortunate to have worked with them. All of our guests still rave about how delicious it was and the best food they had eaten. My only regret is not having eaten more of it that night! It was the night before my wedding so I couldn't quite eat my heart out :-) But we have a tray in the freezer so I'll get a chance to relive the delicious meal all over again. And the homemade cookies were awesome! Unique flavors and a nice way to offer something different from your typical dessert options from other caterers.
