Over A Decade of Delicious Paella Catering
Our Story Paella amor began in 2013 with one paella pan, a whole lot of love and a simple dream: to bring people together over delicious, vibrant food. Founded by husband-and-wife duo Tim and Alli, the business started as a side project catering for friends and family in backyards around Sydney. The idea was to create catering that was stress-free, affordable, and genuinely fun.
With a shared passion for hospitality and food, Tim and Alli poured their energy into building something unique; an interactive, flavour-packed experience that guests would remember. As word spread and demand grew, so did the business, evolving into a full-time operation with a growing team, loyal client base and a reputation for exceptional food & friendly professional service.
Quality paella catering with a difference. What we do.
At Paella amor, we specialise in delivering authentic-style Spanish paella catering with a modern Australian twist. Each dish is made fresh, on-site, creating an engaging and interactive dining experience that adds theatre and atmosphere to any occasion.
From humble backyard beginnings, we've grown to become one of Sydney’s most loved paella catering companies. Today, we serve everything from relaxed home parties and weddings to large-scale corporate events and community gatherings of 1,000+ guests.
Over the years, we've expanded our team with talented chefs, waitstaff and event professionals who share our commitment to quality and warmth. We’ve introduced more menu flexibility, upgraded our setup for larger events and added extras like beverage packages, sangria, bar staff, and rubbish removal; all to make your event as seamless and memorable as possible.
We’re proud to now have a dedicated team of eight experienced chefs, led by our core kitchen crew. During the busy summer season, we expand our chef and service team even further to meet the demand for weddings, Christmas parties, and large-scale outdoor events.
