Testimonials to The Abbey

New York & Louisiana converged on the rooftop of the La Jolla Cove Suites, to the delight of our happy couple,  Kelly & Patrick.  Reverend Tuttle kicked it off with a sentimental and  joyous ceremony, that gave our couple and  guests a taste of good times to come. Classical guitar styling by artist Miles Moynier filled cocktail hour as everyone was treated to some of the Abbey’s finest appetizers. Led by Abbey Captain, Warren Carlyle, the team was extremely diligent and handled every guest with care and  good humor. Dinner service was fluid and offered a sampling of surf-&-turf with our own Chianti braised Black Angus beef and shrimp skewers to compliment the beach themed La Jolla landmark. DJ Randy delivered another stellar performance, energizing the crowd with an eclectic sampling of songs chosen by our happy couple. The topper to the evening was a delicately crafted creation by San Diego’s own Flourpower!  The cake was gorgeously accompanied by a beautiful bouquet designed by Kelly with our florist Arturo of ArtQuest Florals.  Brides, be sure to check out some of his creations, they are pure magic.  The evening came to a finale with a medley of upbeat songs including a special selection by Kelly’s father and a tribute by Mr. Sinatra. It felt as though I was amongst family that night.  The love for Kelly & Patrick was truly evident in every face present and  I was so pleased to be a part of it all. Enjoy Maui you two-I hope to see you soon!
