Hosting in Doral? A few things shape how we set up paella catering here. we cook paella catering live and on-site for Doral events, and we plan the setup around how the neighborhood actually works.
Corporate parks plus a strong Venezuelan and Colombian community keep weekday office lunches and weekend celebrations equally busy.
This is what we're known for. A pan the size of a tabletop, set up wherever your guests can watch — rice going golden, clams opening, shrimp and octopus arranged on top right before service. Our biggest pans feed 80 to 120 people from a single cook, which is why paella works so well for weddings, company parties, and the kind of family gathering where the headcount keeps climbing.
We bring our own burners and propane and cook in the open. Seafood is the crowd favorite, but the mixed paella with chicken and chorizo and a clean vegetarian version both hold their own. Tell us the crowd and we'll tell you the pan.
No two Doral events are the same, so we quote yours to the guest count, menu and service style — and there's no charge to ask. Send the details and we'll come back with a custom menu, usually the same day.
For live stations we arrive ahead of service to set up, cook through your window, then break down and pack out. Corporate parks plus a strong Venezuelan and Colombian community keep weekday office lunches and weekend celebrations equally busy. Two to three weeks' notice is ideal for Doral weekends; drop-off can often go in 48–72 hours.
Doral's mix of Latin American families and corporate crowds makes it natural paella country. There is something about a wide pan of saffron rice cooking over open flame that fits both a family's Sunday gathering and a company's end-of-quarter thank-you. We bring the whole setup to your Doral address — the burners, the pan, the chef — and cook it live while your guests watch.
You choose the pan: a seafood version with shrimp, clams, mussels and calamari; a mixed meat-and-seafood pan; or an all-vegetable paella for plant-based crowds. For the bigger Doral events — golf-club parties, large quinces, corporate appreciation days — we run two pans side by side so the line never stalls and everyone gets a hot plate. Shellfish allergies, no-pork and gluten-free needs are flagged and handled in the kitchen when you book, not improvised on the day.
Doral works well for live cooking because so many venues here have the outdoor space for it — the clubhouse patios in the gated communities, the resort lawns, the newer homes with real backyards. We just need a level, ventilated spot for the flame; for indoor halls we will talk through the options before your date.
Live paella doubles as the entertainment, which is the point — guests gather around the pan, the chef talks them through it, and the food hits the plate at its peak instead of arriving lukewarm in a tray. To book paella for a Doral event, send your date, headcount and venue through the form or WhatsApp 786-991-8740, and we will return a menu and quote the same day. Two to three weeks' notice is ideal for weekend dates.
Tell us your date, headcount and city — we'll send a custom menu and quote, usually the same day.
Yes — Doral is part of our regular Miami-Dade service area. Corporate parks plus a strong Venezuelan and Colombian community keep weekday office lunches and weekend celebrations equally busy. Send us your date and headcount and we'll confirm availability and a setup that fits the spot.
We quote every Doral event individually, based on your guest count, menu and service style. There's no charge to ask — send your details and we'll put a custom quote in writing before you commit to anything.
For paella nights, weddings, and anything with a live station, two to three weeks gives us the best shot at your date — Miami weekends fill up fast, especially November through April. Drop-off and office lunches we can often turn around in 48 to 72 hours. If your date is tight, message us anyway; we keep a short waitlist and sometimes shuffle things.
Yes. Gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, no-pork, nut allergies — tell us when you book and we build it into the menu instead of scrambling day-of. The pasta station and grazing tables are easy to adapt; the seafood paella we'll flag clearly for shellfish allergies.
