Venga Paella seamlessly catered our orientation for 250 hungry incoming MBA students. Appetizers and paella were delicious – especially the seafood paella.
Eduardo and his crew were a pleasure to work with! Friendly and calm under pressure, efficiently moved tables part-way through for operational effectiveness, very professional. Great price as well.
Highly recommended overall.

I was nervous about hiring a caterer, especially since it was my first time and it was for a special occasion. Eduardo made the process easy and enjoyable. He was responsive and offered varying options to meet my party needs (he took care to ensure I did over order). The food was delicious and the chef was engaging, professional and warm. Looking forward to hiring Venga again.

Venga Paella catered our event and they were fantastic. They showed up on time, the staff was wonderful and incredibly helpful, and the food was delicious. Our guests were impressed! I would definitely use them again.

Venga Paella catered our wedding for 100 guests this summer at a campsite in the Oakland hills, and friends and family haven’t stopped telling me how delicious the dinner was! The seafood paella was fresh and flavorful, and the vegetarian paella was full of colorful vegetables and wild mushrooms. They know how to time the cooking perfectly so the rice has just the right texture. Multiple vegetarians told me it was the best meal they’ve ever had at a wedding! Eduardo was professional and easy to work with, and the sight and smell of the paella cooking was truly magical. We looked at multiple other paella caterers for our wedding, and I’m so glad we went with Venga!

Amazing food and great service staff! We used Venga Paella for our wedding on January 1, 2018. Words can’t express how thankful my wife and I are for the professionalism of this catering company. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to cater an event. Extremely prompt and very respectful to our wants and needs. If I could give 6 out of 5 stars, I definitely would!

Words cannot express how grateful I am to Eduardo. He worked with me through several menu changes due to dietary restrictions, allergies and guest count changes. He was professional from start to finish and most importantly the food was hands down the best decision I made regarding the event. The guest of honor even said that the Paella was better than the one she had in Barcelona. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience, your kind words and your amazing food! Please book this company I’m certainly over the moon about my choice for my friends bridal shower in Oakland.

Thrilled with our recent catering experience. The food was delicious, the service was above and beyond, the staff friendly and welcoming. They were self-contained and self-sufficient. Set-up took minutes and on-site cooking provided entertainment for our guests. We ordered two different paella flavors which included a side salad and compostable serving plates and utensils. We planned for a party of 100 and had plenty of leftovers to send home with guests. We look forward to working with Venga Paella for a future event.

Jimmy came out for my wife’s 40th birthday and was super friendly and flexible. We got the veggie paella and everyone was raving about its deliciousness. I am recommending them to all my friends!

We were very happy with our catering experience with Venga Paella! Eduardo catered my husbands 60th birthday party for over 70 guests in November. Paella is a really fun way to serve a large group and everyone enjoyed trying the variety of flavors. Eduardo was a pleasure to work with and the food was absolutely amazing! We had so many compliments I plan on using Venga again.
