Paella Party CT is a premium, catering company that brings the authentic experience of Spanish food to your private events. We specialize in cooking delicious, chef-crafted paellas, tapas and other dishes live on-site, creating a memorable and interactive culinary spectacle for you and your guests. We also offer convenient delivery (not available in all areas – contact us to learn more) options for your party or gathering.

Our service is more than just food; it’s an experience. We cook the paella from scratch right in front of your guests, using a large, traditional paella pan. The sights and smells of the cooking process provide fantastic entertainment and an unforgettable centerpiece for any event. We combine this unique presentation with the highest quality ingredients and authentic Spanish recipes to deliver a “feast in a pan.”

We are equipped to handle a wide range of special occasions. Our catering services are perfect for weddings, corporate functions, birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, backyard barbecues, and any other private gathering where you want to impress your guests with delicious and unique food.

We are proud to serve the entire Tri-State area, including Connecticut (CT), New York (NY), and New Jersey (NJ). Our team is dedicated to meeting the needs of clients across NYC, Stamford, Greenwich, New Haven, Westport, CT, and the surrounding communities.

We have a diverse menu designed to please every palate. Our signature paellas include:

• Original Paella Valenciana: The traditional recipe with organic chicken and rabbit.
• Paella Mediterranean: A seafood lover’s dream with jumbo shrimp, scallops, squid, mussels, and clams.
• Land and Sea Paella: The best of both worlds, featuring organic chicken, Spanish chorizo, and fresh seafood.
• Short Rib Paella: A rich and savory option with slow-roasted short ribs and vegetables.
• Roasted Vegan Paella: A vibrant dish packed with seasonal organic vegetables and mushrooms.
• Paella Negra: A striking and flavorful paella made with squid ink, jumbo shrimp, and calamari.
• Paella Farmhouse: A rustic, comforting blend of organic chicken, Spanish chorizo, tender artichokes and mushrooms.

Yes! We love it when our clients get creative. Our “Build Your Own” paella option lets you choose your favorite proteins and vegetables to design a custom dish. All our paellas, including custom ones, are built on our signature base of authentic Spanish Bomba rice and a rich, aromatic tomato sofrito.

While paella is our star, we offer a full menu of Spanish tapas and other dishes to complement your meal. Customer favorites include our delicious cheese and chicken empanadas and gambas al ajillo. Let us know what you have in mind, and we can build a complete menu for your event.

Absolutely. We take dietary needs very seriously. All our paellas are gluten and dairy free and since our paellas are made to order, we can easily customize them to be vegetarian, vegan, or to avoid specific allergens. Please discuss any dietary requirements with us when you book your event so we can ensure every guest can enjoy the meal safely.

We recommend booking as early as possible to ensure our availability for your desired date, especially for weekend events and during peak seasons like summer and the holidays. Popular dates can fill up months in advance.

We offer both! Our most popular service is on-site cooking, where our chef prepares the paella live at your event. This provides wonderful entertainment and guarantees the freshest meal possible. If your venue or timeline doesn’t allow for on-site cooking, we also offer a delivery service where we bring the freshly cooked paella directly to you, ready to serve. (available in Fairfield County, CT only)

We can cater events of all sizes, from intimate family gatherings to large corporate events and weddings of 200+ people. Our minimum order is 25 people for on-site service during peak months from April-October and 15 people during all other months. The best way to determine pricing and logistics for your specific group size is to contact us for a personalized quote.

Our professional team, led by Chef Alberto, will arrive punctually to set up the cooking station. We handle everything from preparation to serving. Your guests can watch the fascinating process, ask questions, and enjoy the captivating aromas as the paella comes to life. We pride ourselves on being friendly, engaging, and professional, adding to the festive atmosphere of your party.

For on-site cooking, we typically need a flat, outdoor space of about 10×10 feet to set up our equipment safely. We bring our own paella pans, burners, and cooking equipment. We will confirm all logistical details with you before the event to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Our catering packages include professional staff who not only cook but also help serve the food to your guests. We ensure the presentation is beautiful and that everyone is taken care of. After the meal, our team handles the cleanup of our cooking area, leaving you free to enjoy your event without any stress. For added convenience, we can offer post-event cleaning services upon request.

Booking with us is simple. The best way to start is by filling out the “Request a Quote” form on our website. You can also call us at 203-399-7196 or email us at orders@paellapartyct.com. Our team will work with you to understand your event details, guest count, and menu preferences to create the perfect package for you.
