If the invoice is not paid 72 hours before your event, the booking will be cancelled and the deposit paid is not refundable.

If there is a modification to the numbers, we will send you a new invoice minus your deposit, with the total outstanding.

How can I book paella catering in Perth/WA?

Once you approve the quote, we will send you the invoice. Please check if the information on the invoice is correct including the time for serving the paella.

Serving time on the invoice means the time you have chosen to start serving your guests food to eat. It is very important to agree on the serving time at the moment of your booking, no changes can be made with short notice.

The booking deposit is 50% of the total and once the deposit is paid, your date is locked in. We ask to send us the receipt of your deposit or screenshot for our records.
Without a deposit it is NOT a booking, it is only a quote.

We work on a first come, first serve basis. To ensure that your date is locked in we recommend paying as soon as possible.

All deposits need to be paid within 48 hours of the receiving the invoice. If your deposit is not received, your booking is not confirmed.

Please note the minimum number for a booking of 20 guests.
