We hired Jason for a backyard party of 20+ guests, and he made it unforgettable! His paella and tapas were phenomenal, crafted with top-quality ingredients that shone in every bite. He was punctual, extremely organized, and brought such a fun, vibrant energy to the event. Watching him cook was a true highlight. He connected with our guests effortlessly. Highly recommend Jason for any gathering!

Jason is a phenomenal chef who does a great job of preparing and presenting his food. All our guests loved the tapas, paella and salad, and getting to watch it be made added to the overall atmosphere of the party. I highly recommend him for your next gathering!!!

If you are looking for a professional paella chef to come and prepare some paella for a company event or personal family event, Jason is the chef to hire. He is very professional, his paella tasted spectacular, and he has remarkable customer service.

My company hired Jason to make my team of 13 to 14 people some paella at my boss' home during our team building trip to Oakland. He was punctual, organized, and brought everything needed for our dinner. Being able to host my team's dinner at a private residence made the dinner much more relaxed and allowed my team to enjoy mingling with each other without outsiders being present. Thank you Jason for making me look like a super star with my team.

Jason is a fantastic chef and a great guy. He was extremely professional and had great communication leading up to the event. Everyone at the party could not stop talking about how good the garlic shrimp and the paella were. Could not recommend more highly.

We hired Jason to cater a workshop my company hosted and he was amazing. The paella and appetizers were outstanding - so flavorful and it worked well with so many dietary restrictions. Jason was so easy to work with - on time, brought everything he needed and friendly. If you are thinking about hiring Jason, just do it! 100% recommend him and am looking for any excuse to hire him again.

Jason was incredible, his communication and responsiveness as we planned for the event was prompt and he was very clear about all the details. The event itself was perfection; he was on time, set up quickly, engaged with all the guests - answered all their questions, and the outcome of the meal was AMAZING! Every bite of the appetizers was clean yet layered flavors and the Paella was beyond delicious, everyone kept raving about dinner. If I could give six stars to Bay Area Paella Chef I would, do not hesitate to use them for your next event!

Exceptional Catering Service - Highly Recommend!

We had the pleasure of working with Jason for our wedding, and I cannot express how thrilled we were with his services. From the very beginning, Jason was wonderful to work with. His communication was outstanding, always prompt and clear, making the planning process so much smoother.

As someone who is Spanish, my expectations for the food were quite high, and Jason far exceeded them. His pricing was very reasonable, especially considering the exceptional quality and quantity of food provided. There was plenty of delicious food, and we even had great leftovers to enjoy afterward.

Jason and his team were an absolute delight on the day of the wedding. They were professional, friendly, and truly added to the special atmosphere of the day. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food, and we were repeatedly asked where we found such an amazing caterer.

Thank you so much, Jason, for making our wedding day extra special with your incredible catering service. You made everything perfect, and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommend Jason for any event – you won't be disappointed!

Perfect service for our ~100 person wedding! Jason freshly cooked a handful of different types of paella for us in our very remote Santa Cruz forest venue. Appetizers were a hit, and we got lots of compliments for how tasty and high quality the dinner was. Jason also really cared about the details and even offered us his advice for other parts of our wedding.

Jason was amazing, efficient, and the paella was second to none. The food tasted fantastically, and was prepared for the specified dinner time. We will be doing future parties and events with him for sure.

Bay Area's BEST paella chef EVER!! I had the pleasure of meeting Jason on Mother's Day. He's very nice and attentive as he served 3 generations of moms. It was a gift to be on the receiving end where you can feel the love and potency of his passion as he brings his creativity to life. Thank you so much for allowing 3 generations to receive such a great experience!

Cheers to love, light, and lots of paella =p
