The members of the La Jolla Garden Club arrive with decorations fully setup, the tables stocked with food, the Abbey servers patiently await to refill platters and answer questions as the event moves toward great success. How did all this happen? Preparation for all our events start many hours before and sometimes even a couple days before the event actually takes place. We want to make sure the food tastes just right and that the layout looks just like what our clients have envisioned.

Center Table Setting for Special Event created by an event planner.
This specific event belongs to the ladies of the La Jolla Garden Club and was hosted at the Cuvier Club in beautiful La Jolla, CA. There was plenty of food for tasting and a book signing or two for small talk as the ladies began to stream in the door. As they walked in they were met with beautiful standing flower vases and red luxurious quilt. Entering the event hall the ladies gazed at tables filled with such things as scones, individual cakes and a variety of finger sandwiches. Ornate, red umbrellas placed in stands floated overhead and fun decorative flower arrangements filled the center of the guest tables. All was in place and the event begins.

Unique Event Furniture

April 4th, 2011 >> Events, Notes from the Director, Other, Promotions, Trends
Event Design wedding decoration for San Diego wedding.
A great way to add to your event is to rent some unique furniture that goes with the a theme that you have chosen.
Lounge furniture with clean lines offers a contemporary feel, and now many companies are incorporating color into the buttons, piping, legs, so you can personalize it! A large white square ottoman with throw pillows and blankets are a great way to create a “cozy” feel.
Tufted couches are fantastic for many designs as well! For a vintage feel, try a velvet tufted couch or chaise in a rich color. For a shabby-chic feel, a fabulous overstuffed white or cream couch, even scour your friends and families houses and “borrow” it for the day (sometimes the cleaning bill is more econimical than renting PLUS it can be a better fit!). My favorite at the moment is using colorful adirondack chairs in the perimeter of your space, maybe outside in the garden or lawn. It makes an amazing and bold statement.
Use your imagination, you can never make your wedding too personal.
Event design is fun and makes your wedding photos look classy.

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…
