Sisi Berry
Sommelier & Co-owner
Wine Chemist & Sommelier, Sisi Berry, began her journey as a Biology major who found herself in the biochemistry of wine after picking up a job in the wine biz in college. Her love affair with wine was more stemmed (no pun intended) in viticulture and enology as she found a sense of union in the fascinating worlds of earth and science. Connecting nature to man's hands and mind was not just a scientific process, but a rather philosophical one. She went on to take this passion and continue her education in Spain where she worked in several vineyards during harvest season and in the cellars in Penedes, Bierzo, Mallorca, Ribera del Duero, and Priorat. During her time working in Spain, she acheived her Sommelier certification. Upon her return to the States, she was accepted to UC Davis. Sisi is a firm believer in the sharing and healing power of wine. While being one of the most intellectual and romantic of potions, she finds it to be a force of time. Wine is a not just about the drink, but a time capsule inviting you to sit, slow down, and share something.. anything with someone. With that feeling in mind, Sisi began giving wine classes and gathering groups of people that wanted to learn more about wine, and enjoy lovely company. Her goal is to share the wonder and intricacy of wine with others so that they too may feel more often invited to slow down, and simply enjoy.Read More

Let me start with SiSi’s overall presence: she was an angel and a business woman all in one. So professional and had the most amazing way of fitting 5 or 6 people in a small kitchen while the bride was doing her hair without overcrowding or being invasive. She approached me on the day of our wedding, shook my hand and ensured me she had her best chefs here to make our wedding the most amazing day. The her and her team came in and did their thing. ALL of them were so much fun and lively and just had a way of making you feel like someone was cooking a feast on Christmas morning. Now the food. I don’t even know where to start. The tapas were so flavorful and fun dishes. Easy to eat for being catered and mouth watering. The paella: BOMB! A median between a brothy paella and a traditional dry paella. It was the perfect blend of the two and the way it was presented on beautiful black dishes made it more enticing. Seafood was cooked to perfection and overall just.... no more words. It was a great day and she was hands down my favorite vendor. Cleaned everything up afterwards and approached me during the wedding to say thank you and goodbye. 12/10 would recommend.
Terrific food and service from start to finish! They also arranged for a bar tender for us at a reasonable cost. I would highly recommend them to anyone and would use them again anytime!
Chef Saul and Sisi joined our family for our daughters 3rd birthday celebration. They helped create a warm ambiance and provided an impressive presentation of food and wine. The amazing aromas from all the delicious food filled our home inside and out. We all enjoyed every bite and we will definitely use them for our next event. Thank you very much Chef Saul and Sisi.
Sisi and Saul are not only professionals in the food and catering industry, but they are also wonderful individuals, easy going, fun and loving. They took care of every single detail during the preparation for our wedding reception. The result was an amazing experience for us and our guests. Their menu of tapas and paellas is delicious and colorful and the service offered by their team has no comparison. Highly recommended, they deserve more than five stars!!
SiSi and Saul provided a beautiful and fantastic 60th birthday party! We were so pleased! The appetizers not only tasted great but the presentation was very beautiful. Saul cooks the paella outside and all the guests are able to watch and learn. Makes for such a fun event! But, the paella is the best part. We had one meat and one seafood. The flavors are fantastic and we savored every bite! It was a memorable party! Thanks to SiSi and Saul!
Sisi and Chef Saúl made one of the best paella’s that we’ve ever experienced. The meal had a selection of ingredients that were fresh and flavorful making the paella really unique. Sisi was great about communicating with us, setting up and packaging leftovers that we enjoyed well into the next week. Highly recommend. They are the real deal.
Absolutely delicious, authentic paella. And the staff is super courteous and professional. My party of 100 people was floored by the taste and presentation. Highly recommended if you want to impress your people!
I have been in the event industry in Austin for 13 years and am always on the hunt for new and exciting vendors. Mi Paella delivers on that! Not only are they incredibly responsive during the planning process, the food is out of this world delicious with fabulous & authentic presentations. They provide such a great experience for guests during the event. Being able to make a corporate event feel like a family event is no easy task and I couldn't say enough how perfect they were for the evening. I am so glad that I found them and will continue to use them for future events, including my own personal ones. :)
I have had Mi Paella come out to my home on two occasions now and they do not disappoint. Their food is FABULOUS and our guests really enjoy getting to see Saul's process of making the paella. Sisi is extremely knowledgeable about wine, which came in handy for us one night when hosting a wine club party. Both Saúl and Sisi are lovely people and we can't wait to have them over again for more amazing Spanish food experiences!
Saul makes paella that's only rivaled in Spain and Sisi's wine pairing was perfect!
Best Catering Investment We’ve Ever Made!
Recently we hosted an informal, (mostly) outdoor Tapas & Paella dinner party for our work colleagues at our home. We were so lucky to have chosen Mi Paella as our catering team. It truly was our best, most enjoyable experience with a catered dinner that we’ve ever had. Truly. The authenticity of Saul’s recipe/cooking and Sisi’s presentation was so much fun - and the food the most delicious imaginable! We are now planning to use Mi Paella for several more events this summer and fall. Highly recommended; wish I could give Saul and Sisi 50 stars! Heather & Will Wynn South Austin, Texas

Fantastic!!!!
We celebrated our daughter's law school graduation. Mi Paella did an OUTSTANDING job! They came to do a site visit about a week before the event. Sisi was very responsive and helped create a very memorable event! Everyone was raving about the Paella, and the Spanish guitarist was an added joy! Chef Saul was very informative and guests really enjoyed watching and learning! I would strongly suggest Mi Paella for any event! Very unique, incredible service, and Delicious food!!!!

Professional
Omg! What a wonderful experience! Saul and Sisi are so good at what they do! They came in and did not interfere with the activities that were going on and started preparations for a most exotic meal! The tapas were exquisite! The paella absolutely excellent! So many of us had never seen paella made. Visiting with Saul about Spain and Sisi about Venezuela was so interesting. All of us at our 19th annual mother/daughter reunion were delighted that we had the MiPaella experience!
Over the top
Sisi is extremely knowledgeable in viniculture and easily explains her knowledge to help you find wines you love. Chef Saul is a classically trained chef who cooks delicious food from his home country of Spain as well as Thai and other European food. Both delicious as well as beautiful. They are and exceptional team
Guests were still talking about catering 15 months later!
In 2015, Mi Paella catered a birthday party for my husband. As we gathered this month for the holidays,several of our friends who were guests at that party were still raving at the novelty and menu provided by Mi Paella. They arrived earlier than agreed as it was a 45 min commute from south Austin and frankly, arriving early is better than punctual to me when one is preparing for about 45 people to arrive! The experience was superb for us and our guests! Our best wishes to Mi Paella for a successful New Year!
