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.

Event Design wedding decoration for San Diego wedding.
The Abbey is absolutely the best catering and event design company in the region. My fiance and I chose the Abbey after doing a bunch of research, and we have not been disappointed! We booked their wedding package, and went in for our food tasting today. Everything was marvelous! Matt, the chef, created an amazing assortment of dishes for our big day, and everything was delicious. I loved the appetizer selections and main course choices – they were so different from traditional wedding cuisine. We ended up choosing a bunch of different appetizers for the cocktail hour, including ceviche that will be served from a martini tree. For dinner, Matt suggested (which we loved) that we go with stations. I am super excited about the shrimp mac&cheese station. The sample was hands down the best gourmet mac&cheese we have ever had. I was a bit picky in telling them what I wanted, and the Abbey Catering and Event Design created the perfect meal. Our wedding isn’t until September, but I am so looking forward to the real thing in a few months! Everyone is so helpful at the Abbey and I have enjoyed working with their entire team. — from client posted review 4/19/2011

San Diego Event Wedding Couple Thank You Letter
Dear Abbey,
I cannot thank you enough for helping David and I to create the most perfect wedding, EVER!
When I first contacted The Abbey, I thought all the services you offered seemed too good to be true. In reality, you went well above and beyond what was promised, and you are the reason my friends and family are still raving about our perfect wedding! Finding you was like winning the Lottery!
When we purchased our complete wedding package from you, I didn’t fully realize the exceptional value of the services we were getting. Not only was the food absolutely to die for, but each and every vendor you helped us choose far exceeded all of our expectations. A man is measured by the company he keeps, and you certainly keep the company of some quality people. Everybody we worked with on the wedding was amazing.
DJ Neko had the party rocking from the start, and even the “old folks” were happy with his tasteful music choices! We will continue to seek him out at places like The Altitude Bar and other venues. I can’t give enough accolades to photographer Michelle Zuniga, whose photos are just stunning. She perfectly captured our personalities and our love for one another, and we felt like she was a dear old friend who was there to help us celebrate. Flour Power’s cake caused a bit of an uproar, because it was so tasty that everybody tried to scramble for seconds. I’ll be gong back to James and Flour Power for my mom’s birthday cake later this month. Oh, and speaking of flowers, Anar Floral created the perfect bridal bouquets and centerpieces for our beach-themed wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier. They did exactly what they said they’d do.
The greatest value that the Abbey provided us, though, was you, my wedding planner. When I contacted you on the 8th of January for a February 25th wedding, you weren’t even fazed. You took the burden of planninng an entire wedding in just 45 days off of my shoulders and placed it on your own, giving me the opportunity to concentrate on my dress, the guest list and those other time-consuming and stressful details. You are such a superstar. From the moment I emailed you at the Abbey, all my worries were over. Thank you, Abbey, for being our wedding planner, our hero, and our friend. You ROCK! We cannot wait to have another occasion to use the Abbey’s excellent service again.
Thank you, Abbey!
All our best,
David and Nancy Salisbury

Radiating with splendent colors and the sounds of song birds filling the air, the 26th of March will be held in the minds and hearts of this couple forever. Dressed in glimmering metallic gray, and sun bright yellow, this wedding was designed fit to perfection from the beginning. Two-hundred and forty-five guests attended the beautiful couple’s special day with vows that last forever.
This couple brought an amazing twist to a special day not only for theme but to friends and guests as well!! Working with the deaf community, her wedding was catered with interpreters for the deaf. The wedding ceremony, toast, and dance were catered with interpreters for all guests to love, cherish, and enjoy. It was truly remarkable and left a spot for softness in all guests’ hearts.

Each table had center pieces of three foot vases designed by Artquest Florists. The vases were filled with floating lemons and a beautiful arrangement of yellow, white, and red roses bursting from the top, while full bloom pussy willows wept enchantment over the table. Held at the La Jolla Women’s Club, the reception provided a perfect pinch of elegance and spring class!

The Nelson Wedding

A wedding sea breeze
The Nelson Wedding was a one of a kind wedding with nothing routine about it. On March 26th the Nelson party gathered at Ocean View Villas in San Diego, California for the wedding of Kelda and Erick. The bride and groom wanted a real casual, fun, social wedding, that was different from your typical traditional wedding. This allowed us to get creative and really have some fun with the design. There was not any assigned seating at this wedding and instead we choose to use lounge furniture and belly bar tables to provide spots for the guests to hang out, lounge, and have a good time. There were tables and chairs for some guests, but the idea was not to force people to be sitting down the whole wedding, which gave the wedding a great vibe and guests had an awesome time. This wedding is an example of what we as a company can provide to those who choose to stray from the “typical wedding”; not that there is anything wrong with the ”typical wedding”, but it is not for everyone.

After the wedding we jumped right into our cocktail hour and provided our guests with some of our signature appetizers and drinks. We then prepared for the grand entrance and shortly after The newly wed’s family and friends were treated to 3 dinner stations: Our custom “SHAKEN NOT STIRRED, SALAD STATION.” Our “TASTE OF HOME” station including Chianti-Braised Short Ribs with a Red-wine DemiGlace, Rosemary Scented and Parmesan Mashed Potatoes and Grilled Market Vegetable Garnish. The “TASTE OF THE ORIENT” station with Marinated, grilled, sliced chicken breast, Buckweat soba noodles/With Garlic Soy Reduction Pan Roasted Summer Vegetables/Button Mushrooms/Thai Peppers/Onions served in Chinese TOGO boxes with Individual Chopsticks. After dinner the newly weds cut their Norwegian cake and we opened up the DESSERT STATION with Individual Creme Brulee’s topped with fresh blueberries.

You are such true professionals. You made every idea I had about the wedding come true and exceeded every expectation I had. Every time we spoke, you made me feel like I was the only bride you had as a client even though I know you were always in high demand! You genuinely cared about our wedding and went to every length to ensure our satisfaction. I cannot express my thanks to you enough; you honestly gave us perfection.The entire Abbey experience was amazing. Every single person that had a hand in our wedding made it as special as if it were their own. I felt so calm and confident knowing that every detail was taken care of by the Abbey staff. I can honestly say that I was never “stressed” about any part of the wedding planning or the actual day because of the trust I had in the Abbey and the vendors I had chosen. It is clear that everyone takes pride in their work and is shows in every wedding they do. So thank you to Robert, Rob, Arturo, Randy, Blake, Tande, Babycakes and all the service professionals for making our day perfect.
With warmest regards
We really enjoy making people happy…whether planning events, and weddings or just taking care of the little things…At The Abbey you’ll never have to sweat the small stuff…
