Testimonials to The Abbey

Hiking in the sand down to beach was no problem for the groom and his entourage, who all sported “flip flops” and elegant tuxedos!  The bride and her bridesmaids looked cool and elegant as well, however they chose chic footwear  for the ceremony and “comfy shoes” for later.   (We girls do love our shoes!)

The reception was held at Levyland, a magnificent private residence nestled into the lagoons of Carlsbad.This stunning 6,000 sq ft home, located on a three acre private peninsula, offers a unique combination of privacy, open space, ocean and lagoon views , and inspired architecture.  Guests enjoyed cocktails and appetizers from 2 outside decks with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean on the west and beautiful valleys on the east.

Dinner was served in the lovely East Garden where elegant tables were dressed in classic black and white. The exquisite florals found throughout the entire day were provided by San Diego’s own, Exquisite Blooms.  Each guest was greeted with a chilled split of champagne at their place setting.  It wasn’t long after dinner and champagne, that the dancing began and guests mingled and shared stories.  A traditional wedding cake was provided but miniature cupcakes, from the exceptionally talented Sweet Cheeks Baking Company, also were on the menu to keep things fun and playful.  And to accommodate Many memories were made on this magical night.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Donovan and thank you choosing The Abbey Catering to be a part of it!  We were very proud and honored to work with Courtney Tibbets of AfterTheEngagement.com.  Best Wishes from The Entire Staff!
