The seafood menu has many dishes and this is one catered item for any event.
Whoever would have thought that picking food for your event could ever be so much fun? By scheduling a tasting with one of our event planners you have the opportunity to sample some of our chefs’ most delicious dishes and then share it with your friends and family when you have that dish catered at your event. Our chefs cook every day working to master new recipes and create dishes they can call their very own. Reading about food is making your mouth water isn’t it? That’s exactly what we want to happen. When you walk into our kitchens your senses are teased with a variety of savory smells. Some of our classics here include coconut crusted golden shrimp, the abbey signature salad with raspberry vinaigrette and even the lobster tail you see here. Are we missing something? Not a problem because we can work with you to create a menu of your choosing. Hungry yet? I’m off to the kitchen to try something new right now.

A wedding reception at MoPA catered by the Abbey Catering for wedding guests.
The Museum of Photographic Arts, located in the heart of Balboa Park in San Diego, is a favorite venue to house a wedding reception for couples such as Kristie and Jarold. With room enough to hold about 200 guests and access to an open patio for cocktails before dinner, guests get private access to the many beautiful exhibits that pass through this historical building. There is also access to a photo booth for fun pictures with the guests and a widescreen projector to share photos and other fun life experiences. The Museum is one of many preferred venues of the Abbey Catering. This couple and their guests were treated to a lovely cocktail hour with drinks while servers walked around with trays of delicious appetizers consisting of sauteed chicken skewers, hummus on fresh pita bread, coconut shrimp and the favorite ahi on cucumber slices. Then followed dinner and dancing with a DJ provided as part of their wedding package selected through the Abbey. As the sun set over the park, the guests completed their memorable experience as Kristie and Jarold departed to begin their honeymoon as a couple now bound as one.
Let one of our Preferred Venues bring beloved memories and joyful smiles to your next celebration…
