Grand Opening of Surgical Office

Posted by: Chris Campbell

April 17th, 2010 >> Events, Other

On April 15th Dr.L.M. had The Abbey Catering & Event Design put together an amazing grand opening for his surgical office located in a magnificent medical center in Hillcrest. The guests included prestigious surgeons, doctors, and dentists, and of course clients, each welcomed with a glass of Moet Chandon served from the Abbey’s custom made Champagne Tree! This unique event was catered with Dim Sum, shrimp cocktails served in martini glasses, and beef sliders with caramelized onions and blue cheese. The biggest hit of the night may have been the sushi bar and chef, who offered guests their individual requests. The 100 attending guests certainly left this grand opening with an eye opening WOW!

Sushi served to order.

La Jolla Cove Suites… another beautiful Abbey Preferred Venue. It sits across from the La Jolla Cove and the venue itself is the entire roof of the hotel. Spacious outdoor accommodations for an afternoon ceremony and indoor amenities for an elegant night time reception.  Hands down the most incredible and amazing views of the Pacific for a San Diego Wedding Venue. The Open House will have many different vendors and options to help show what you are able to accomplish at this wonderful venue. I encourage anyone interested in a beach type wedding with spectacular ocean views to come by and see if this is the place for the day of your dreams. Team LJCS up with The Abbey Catering & Event Design to truly make your visions a reality. Hope to see you all there.

Unique Outdoor Ceremonies...

An Abbey preferred vendor for Photographic Memories…Julie Buchta Davis Photography

One of many loving glances.

Remember the moment forever.

Since 2003, Julie Buchta Davis has been providing stellar memories for brides and grooms, as well as their family, friends and guests.  There are many photographers out there in the world, many with a tremendous amount of technical skill, but it is the “eye” of the photographer that makes the memories last forever.  Julie has that innate ability to capture that special moment and feeling of their unique day. Telling a story with each picture is a talent that can not be taught or learned, it comes from within.

“I am so grateful that what I have the most fun doing in life is also my job”  Personable, fun, easy to be around, I love to laugh, I love nature, yoga and meditation, I have a penchant for detail and a passion for personal artistic expression that is revealed most-intimately through photography.
It is clear that photos record for us precious moments that will be enjoyed over the years to come.  Knowing that my work will provide a personal, soulful, and heartfelt memory of a moment in time, is more reward than I could ever ask for.”–Julie

A “Perfect” Cocktail Party

A beautiful home, wonderful food, and gracious hosts… what a great combination. I was pleased to have the opportunity to Captain this unique event. A fun loving group, of mostly out of town guests, visiting San Diego for a convention, were the attendees for this party. Buses dropped the guests off at Suzanne’s AMAZING home, and the party started immediately there after. From the stationed Vegetable Crudites, Assorted Hummus’ , and Cheese and Cracker Display, to the tray-passed Filet Wellingtons, Ahi Crustinis, Cream Cheese Won tons, Skewered Jamaican Jerk Chicken, and Grilled Goat Cheese Quesadillas, the compliments seemed never ending. My congratulations  to Chef Roger for the wonderful food and presentation, as well as to the spectacular staff for your wonderful service. I hope that The Abbey Catering can have the privilege of  hosting  your next Cocktail Party, regardless of your unique needs and budget. Thanks to ALL involved…
