Paella Catering Palm Beach
When sophistication and high standards are the norm your catering option has to stand out. Catering Miami offers a premier paella catering palm beach experience at the most exclusive locations and private residences in the area. We provide an exciting live food experience, which is also a high-end social and dinner event, not just food delivery. The bright colors of fresh seafood, the intoxicating smell of real saffron… we’ll turn your event into an unforgettable celebration.
Our family business has been dedicated to the "locura" since 1988 – the thrill of seeing a great chef prepare a giant paella from scratch. “We know that visitors coming to Palm Beach expect to be treated like royalty. That is why we are committed to culinary integrity, using only the best fresh ingredients and time-honored methods. With decades of experience in the culinary industry, we offer a “peace of mind” guarantee that every logistical detail is taken care of with the precision your milestone occasion requires.
Our reputation as one of the best catering services in Palm Beach is based on authenticity. We think it makes the ingredients of a proper Spanish paella. That’s why we insist on Bomba or Senia rice, better short-grain varieties that maintain the perfect “al dente” flavor and absorb the nuances of our made-from-scratch broths. Our best paella catering is renowned for the delicious caramelized crust at the bottom of the pan that we are all so very proud of.

Why Hosts Choose Us When the Event Actually Matters
We Plan Around the Event, Not Just the Food
Guest count, timing, venue flow, dietary restrictions, service style, and presentation all shape the menu from the start.
We Help Reduce Host Stress
Our role is not to drop off trays and disappear. We help make the event feel organized, guest-ready, and easier to manage.
Strong for Corporate Logistics
For office events, clients care about timing, professional setup, and a team that knows how to deliver without confusion or disruption.
Allergy-Aware From the Beginning
Food allergies and dietary restrictions should never be an afterthought. We make them part of the planning conversation early.
Presentation Should Never Feel Cafeteria-Style
Well-planned catering should look considered, fresh, and event-appropriate — not like standard hotel pans dropped on a table.
The Experience Matters as Much as the Menu
People remember how the food was presented, how smooth the service felt, and whether the event atmosphere matched the occasion.
Catering Formats Built Around the Way You Host
Some events need speed and simplicity. Others need service, timing, atmosphere, and a stronger visual impression. We help match the format to the moment.
Gourmet Spanish Flavors for Private Estates: The Art of the Paella Party Catering

This independence means that you can concentrate on your visitors while we prepare a real Spanish paella in front of you. We are designed to be stylish, sophisticated and eye-catching, so whether it is a dinner by the pool or a garden party...
Our catering menu reflects the wide array of traditional Spanish cuisine, adapted to the sophisticated South Florida palate. Here are some of our unique styles:

- Seafood paella is a seaside classic that highlights the freshest local and imported catches.
- Veggie Options: Delicious vegan options to ensure every visitor leaves with a full belly.

The Kinds of Events Clients Bring Us In For
Weddings
Rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions, welcome parties, and post-wedding gatherings that need thoughtful pacing, flexible menus, and less stress for the couple.
Private Parties
Birthdays, anniversaries, dinner parties, holiday hosting, and at-home celebrations where the goal is to enjoy guests instead of managing food.
Yacht Events
Day charters, dockside gatherings, boat parties, and hosted experiences that call for menus suited to the water, space, and rhythm of the day.
Family & Milestone Celebrations
Baby showers, bridal showers, quinceañeras, Sweet 16s, graduations, and gatherings where guest comfort and smooth flow matter just as much as the menu.
Brand, Media & Cultural Events
Openings, showcases, activations, influencer dinners, fashion events, and visually driven gatherings where food is part of the brand impression.
If your event does not fit neatly into one category, that usually means the plan should be more customized — and that is where we can help.
Frequently Asked Questions
Paella catering cost will typically vary based on the number of guests and the choice of ingredients. While larger corporate parties or weddings are often able to take advantage of economies of scale, smaller, intimate groups may have a different price per guest to account for the chef’s labor and live station setup.Our all in pricing includes the live cooking demonstration, expert personnel, and standard sides such as salad and buns. Please fill out our inquiry form for a full proposal and an accurate quote on your specific event in Miami-Dade, Broward, or Palm Beach.
We recommend booking your event at least three to six weeks ahead of time, particularly for weekend dates and during the busiest wedding season in South Florida. However, we are often able to accommodate requests for midweek corporate lunches or smaller house parties with as little as 7 to 10 days notice depending on our availability. We need to book in advance so we can arrange the right staff and get the freshest seafood including lobster and giant shrimp. As soon as you have your event date, contact us to check availability and secure your preferred time.
Our live cooking experience is our signature offering, where our talented chef will prepare the paella from scratch in front of your guests. This “cook on site” method is the best way to ensure the seafood is tender and the rice has the perfect texture. We also provide a slick delivery and setup service where the food is prepared in our kitchen and transported in professional thermal carriers if your venue has specific limitations such as some indoor spaces or office buildings. Choose the design that fits your available space and the feel you want to create.
Yes we are located in Miami-Dade but we cover all of Broward and Palm Beach counties including Pembroke Pines, Weston, Boca Raton. We are accustomed to handling the logistics for all of South Florida, bringing our mobile kitchens to business centers, parks, and private residences. Depending on the distance from our central kitchen, there may be travel fees added to your initial quote. Hosting a family reunion in Homestead? A beach party in Miami Beach? We bring you the authentic taste of Spain.
One of our main goals is to provide inclusive menu options and paella is by far one of the best gourmet dishes for those on a diet. Our seafood and meat based paellas are naturally gluten free as we use saffron and traditional spices rather than flour based thickeners. We make a special pan for vegetarian and vegan guests so no one at your party feels overlooked, using a rich vegetable stock and a vibrant mix of seasonal greens. Please let us know if you have any specific allergies or dietary restrictions when you inquire, and we will work to customize the products for your visitors’ safety.
For the purpose of maintaining the professional quality of our live cooking show, we typically request a minimum of 20 to 25 guests for on-site preparation. This keeps the service affordable for the host, but allows us to bring a professional chef and the equipment needed for your event. For very small intimate meals of ten to fifteen people we may offer a high end drop off service that still includes our real Spanish paella or a private chef experience. If you know the size of your group, please call our staff to determine which type of service offers the best value.
South Florida weather can be unpredictable, and we often deal with tropical showers. We typically come prepared with professional-grade tents to protect the cooking station. Our team has experience working in all weather conditions to ensure the rain never affects the paellera or interrupts the cooking process. Our chefs are fully capable of completing the meal outside under our specialty cover, but we do recommend that hosts have a “Plan B” indoor area or covered patio to seat guests. On the day of the event, we work with you to monitor the weather and make changes to the setup location for best safety.
To operate in exclusive condominiums, public parks and exclusive yacht clubs, Catering Miami has to be fully licensed and insured. If needed to help make sure everything runs smoothly and legally, we can offer your building management or event coordinator a Certificate of Insurance (COI). A qualified expert will guarantee that your food is prepared under strict health and safety rules and will also protect you as the host. And always ask for proof of insurance to ensure your vendor meets the professional standards required by South Florida’s top venues.
Sample Menus, Built to Show Range

Need vegetarian, vegan, gluten-aware, keto-conscious, kosher-style, brunch, finger-food, seafood-forward, Latin-inspired, or custom celebration menus? We can build around your guests and the way the event will actually unfold.
