Our team of experts can help make any vision into a reality. Whether it’s a spectacular wedding of 200 guests or an intimate gathering for 20, no event is too large or small.

At Ñora, we take a modern approach to making paella.

    My husband and I are from different cultures. We have relatives who think paprika is spicy and friends who love more flavor. We wanted food that would be a crowd-pleaser for all our guests. We were also on a strict budget. Every other caterer wanted to charge way more for food that didn't sound all that exciting. I was so happy when I found Nora. We went with three paellas, tapas, and a grazing board. The paellas were a big hit, and everyone got to have a delicious meal. It was also a cool experience for our guests to see the paellas being cooked. Alexa, Emily, and the staff were great, but they are quite busy, so communication can be slow. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend Nora for your event. I knocked down a star because their communication skills aren't the best, but they were flexible on all our menu requests and were very accommodating to our last-minute timeline.

    Ñora catered our wedding last week, and I will start by saying that the food was delicious and the day-of staff were awesome and very helpful. However, you do not want to work with them unless you are willing to quadruple check every last item, be stood up for phone calls, and accept that they will not take any notes on your allergies or preferences. I had to fix hundreds of dollars worth of incorrect fees (for example, entering the wrong distance for travel and charging extra admin fees). Even worse, we had been very clear that we had several people with life-threatening shellfish allergies (including the mother of the groom), and that we wanted our paella to be chicken only. Lo and behold, the day of my wedding, I walk up to the paella and it is covered in shellfish. We were extremely lucky that the venue was outside and that there was no cross contamination. When I emailed Ñora to let them know that this happened, we didn't even receive a reply, let alone an apology. To sum up: Food was great, servers are great, but this was the worst vendor we worked with by far. If I had to re-plan my wedding I would skip the headaches and go with someone more professional.
