About Us

Rushing waterfalls, blooming scenery and lush bamboo groves set the scene for the exotic wedding ceremony  at San Diego Botanical Gardens. The bride, groom and their 200 close friends and family got to share this beautiful occasion in a breathtaking setting. Tucked away into corners of the gardens were romantic details; pictures of the happy couple throughout their courtship, a photo printing station so that guests received instant memories of the special day and a sign-in book where they wished the loved-up pair future happiness. The all-inclusive package meant a stress free day for the bride and groom and allow them to focus, enjoy, and relish their special day. This striking jewel-toned themed wedding was highlighted by a gourmet 3 tiered cake from Baby Cakes, classic hairstyles and flawless make-up by Leland, the talented and trained eye of videographer Tareq, skilled creative photographer Deb Shields, and extraordinary flowers by Artquest Florist. Wine from the family vineyard made the day even more memorable and beautifully complimented the Mediterranean styled dinner prepared by highly trained Abbey Catering chefs. Family and friends rounded off the evening dancing under the stars to the sounds of the Matt Yeakley band and DJ Alex Trumbo. Everyone was left aglow with the magic of the evening and memories that will last a lifetime.

As long-time friends embraced amidst the Lavender Star Flowers and Jerusalem Sage, champagne and home-made wine flowed freely from the bamboo bar in the Herb Garden during cocktail hour.  Eggplant Fritters, home-made hummus on warmed pita and Coconut Crusted Golden Shrimp tickled the taste-buds of elated guests as they strolled arm-in-arm down dirt and cobbled paths of the San Diego Botanical Gardens.

Last Saturday, as the coastal haze provided a welcomed break from the afternoon sun, Jennifer and Johnathan celebrated with 175 of their closest friends and family in the simply breathtaking surroundings.

To an onlooker, it was as if this dinner reception took place in The Secret Garden.  Light-blue twinkle lights accented the garden at sunset as guests indulged in citrus marinated chicken (in a white-wine beurre blanc), Chianti-braised Black Angus Beef, citrus-infused Basmati rice with bay leaves and perfectly sauteed seasonal veggies.

After dinner, tables were cleared and guests boogied the night away to hip and modern mixes spun by the bride and groom’s chosen DJ, occasionally taking a break to enjoy the home-made cookies provided by the bride and groom or a slice (or two) of the 3 tiered red velvet and blood orange wedding cake.

The Abbey provided another hand picked fresh selection of our famous appetizers, the amazing New England Blue crab cakes with lobster Aioli that had been crisped to perfection and served over fresh picked greens. A favorite of fresh fish from the sea on top of crunchy piece of cucumber are dices of Ahi tuna poke with sesame oil that really refreshes your pallet. The variety of taste in one bite is the outstanding tri-colored brochette on a toasted sliver of baguette. The main course started with our famous Abbey house salad topped with crumbled feta and chopped walnuts with dried cranberries topped off with tangy raspberry vinaigrette. The main course was prepared to perfection, the Chianti braised Angus beef with a creamy beef gravy over it served with fresh grilled assorted vegetables with a side our delicious truffle and rosemary mashed potatoes.

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!

Balboa Park was honored in celebrating the joining of Brian and Ally. Their event took place in three specially chosen locations throughout the park. The ceremony was located in the Casa del Prado patio. With the high arches and unique architecture this wedding was a beauty from the get go.  Afterward, the guests traveled down a long sidewalk that was bordered by a narrow water feature. The pond was inhabited by greenery, flower, and various forms of wildlife. Cocktail hour was sure to spark smiles, thanks to both the delicious hors d’oeuvres and stunning views. Later that evening guests were escorted to The Museum of Photographic Arts where their night would unfold with music, food, laughter, and joy. With over a hundred guests to witness, the bride grabbed the microphone and sang her love to her new husband. As all guests stared in awe and you couldn’t help but feel thankful to witness one of the most magnetic chemistry between two individuals.  Congratulations to the newlyweds.

The sun broke early at La Jolla Shores to welcome our happy couple & their guests. The La Jolla Bridge Club is a great space perched just above the beach with a perfect view of the ocean. Guests were greeted to the soulful tin-drum of Pat Burke and a bevy of sumptuous appetizers prepared by Abbey Chef & Founder Zapher Dajani. Lauren was an absolute vision & John very cool & dashing in his tuxedo. Lauren organized a magnificent candy bar which delighted her guests with sweet treats all through the evening. Our Abbey team worked diligently to satisfy every need and accommodate every request. As the evening wound down, I had opportunity to spend some time with Johns groomsmen and Laurens bridesmaids. All lovely and completely happy for our perfect couple. John, Lauren & I spent a few minutes at the close of their day chatting about the day.

A wonderful event, for an equally wonderful family. With guests traveling from all over the world, this wedding was a simple, yet elegant affair. With crushed teal linens, gold Chiavari chairs, colorful floral displays, and teal uplights throughout it was the perfect ambiance for this festive affair. The cuisine was Indian inspired, and was phenomenal.

It was a pleasure to be involved in this day. The La Jolla Woman’s Club only helped with the theme. With the outdoor gardens, and cocktail tables and colorful belly bars stationed throughout, the setting was colorful, yet quaint, and turned out exactly how the clients envisioned.

The most important thing that I take from this event is the clients’ gratitude and appreciation for our services as a TEAM. Although, you may have your own visions and dreams for your wedding, we are here to turn YOUR vision in to a reality and will go to any length to accommodate.

We would love to help you plan and design your upcoming wedding at thus top notch wedding venue in La Jolla, CA.

On a picturesque day in Del Mar, California, the beaming bride and groom tied the knot at the Del Mar Powerhouse.  The sun glittered over the waves and a cool breeze blew as the two exchanged the vows time has woven into their relationship.

During cocktail hour, guests celebrated the union with a champagne toast and appetizers that included tri-colored bruschetta, mini beef Wellington and chicken satay.   Guests were welcomed into the dining room where they were greeted with the couple’s own take on the traditional pre-set Abbey Signature Salad including leafy greens, caramelized walnuts, fresh strawberries and dressed with a raspberry vinaigrette.

Dinner was a home-style dual presented entree that included panko crusted Tilapia, braised superior Angus beef, truffled cream cheese  garlic mashed potatoes, seasonal veggies and perfectly seasoned risotto to which the guests were hungrily obliged.

The new couple danced the night away and decided on a kiss and a cupcake for dessert.  A perfect end to a wonderful day!

On Friday, the sixth of August, The La Jolla Woman’s Club was transformed into a beautiful seaside escape. With green moss balls swaying from a large picturesque tree in the courtyard guests were welcomed to their cocktail hour. As the Abbey servers delivered mouth watering hors d’oeuvres to each individual guest, they couldn’t help but smile and reach for seconds. Dinner was especially delightful thanks to a menu created specially by the bride and groom. With Mojito Chicken and Lemongrass Tilapia, you could be sure that all palettes were pleased this evening.   FlourPower made this couple’s night even more memorable by creating an original cupcake master piece. Each individual cupcake held a handmade sugar seashell blanketed by aqua blue frosting. Yum!  Nothing compliments dessert more than a fabulous European Espresso from EuroBar.  As the lights went dim the party started to heat up. The DJ, who was also a friend of the bride and grooms, spun mixes that had guests on their toes the entire night. The bride was not afraid to hike up her dress and bust out her moves when joining their guest in celebration.  As the clock neared the final hour the guest were pleased to all have been invited to an extended party nearby. Wow! What a night to remember.

As the Preferred caterer at the La Jolla Woman’s Club, The Abbey Catering & Event Design is proud to bring you the best La Jolla Wedding ever.

Each week in San Diego, I serve as event captain for a wedding I fall in love with.  Last week, as I busied myself preparing for the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. Bednar, I relished once again, the idea of being part of such a quirky, hip, wonderful couple’s happy day.  From the regal Calla lilies that stood audaciously in 3ft cubes vases over black and white satin linens at each table, to the delicate moss balls that hovered from a giant oak, dancing above deliriously happy guests.

The hopeful couple marked their special day in front of the beautifully famous La Jolla Woman’s Club fountain. Each guest was given a stone and asked to take part in a special ceremony, each stone holding wishes and blessings for the couple who, up to this point, have led separate lives and will now live happily united as one.

Glasses full of spirited cocktails, cucumber water, beer and wine were raised in celebration as the freshly minted Mr. and Mrs. Bednar greeted each guest during cocktail hour and dinner.  As ambrosial appetizers such as Ahi Poke and mini Beef Wellington teased the taste-buds of hungry guests, the chefs were busy preparing the much anticipated Salmon en Croute, Chianti Braised Black Angus Beef, and my personal favorite, Truffle Rosemary Garlic Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes.

The rest of the evening unfolded seamlessly and 184 full-bellied guests danced the night away in celebration of the happy couple and this wonderful day we were all blessed to be a part of.  The Abbey wishes you both the best.  Contact us here for more information about The Club or any preferred venue in San Diego.

The first sunny day  in a month in Del Mar was the perfect gift for Tonya & Rich on their wedding day.The Del Mar Powerhouse was completely transformed by our Abbey team to delight guests. The tone was set with a casual, lounge-style ceremony. Tonya was beautiful in her dress & Rich dashing in his tuxedo. Everybody enjoyed the outdoor garden with some of the Abbey’s finest appetizers, complimented by our couples signature Pink Lemon Drop Cocktail, yummy! Ushered in and seated, our guests were then treated to a dramatic grand entrance down the stairwell straight into a sweetly perfect first dance. Dinner service was smooth and Rich and Ted , the best man, took a quick break to walk down to the beach with our bride riding high on a surfboard. Then the night was in full swing, toasts , dancing, and children running and laughing. Tonya and Rich, your friends and family were wonderful- my very best to you and the girls as you embark on your next journey.

Happy Honeymooning!

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.

This loving couple started their journey of being married to one another at the La Jolla Darlington House on Saturday July 31th. The ceremony and reception were decorated with deep purple and delicate white linens. After the “I Do’s” were said, the night began with a full sit down meal served to all 130 guests. Everyone was very pleased with the efficient and orderly superb service. For dinner we served our highly desired Citrus Marinated Chicken, cooked to perfection and finished in Champagne, fresh herb and light cream sauce. The duel entrée was completed by Black Angus New York Strip rubbed with sea salt, fresh herbs and stuffed with garlic and seasoning carved for each guest according to their temperature liking. The unique colors and ambiance created by the music was a heartwarming experience for both, the special couple and their guests. As guests partied at the end of the night there was a feeling of pure love and joy in the rose garden, where the wedding nuptials had taken place.

On a picture perfect day the bride and groom tied the knot at the beautiful Coronado Community Center.  Though the  ceremony was performed at the Hotel Del, the entire bridal party made their way to the beautifully decorated outdoor patio at the CCC for the real festivities.  The bay view was the backdrop for cocktail and appetizers.  Blue paper lanterns were swinging in the breeze and added a magical touch to the scene.

To add a personal touch to the occasion, the guests names were painted on sand dollars and displayed in sandboxes to help everyone find their tables.  The Nautilus room was lovely in blue, silver and white with spectacular flower arrangements on each table.  Each guest had a delicious lemon flavored cookie in the shape of a sand dollar at their place setting.

It might be one of those little details that get over looked by most, but The  Abbey Catering  works very hard to work with clients to help make sure that the wedding they have envisioned is the wedding that they enjoy on their special day.  We would love to make your day just as special. Contact us here for details.

We congratulate the B & G and thank them for letting us be a part of their special day!

There really is nothing quite like a beautiful afternoon in San Diego.  Couple that with a lovely wedding ceremony at a beautiful venue and you are bound to have a day to remember.  It was another picturesque day in downtown La Jolla at the La Jolla Woman’s Club.  Dorothy and Jeremy’s special day was about to begin and The Abbey team was quickly putting the finishing touches on a reception.  Our couple was married in front of the famous LJWC  fountain by ordained minister Lois.  The back patio was adorned with luxurious  contemporary lounge furniture to compliment the “flow” reception that was to take place right after the ceremony.  Our presented buffet, Martini Tree Bar , and Espresso Station from Eurobar also framed the back garden reception.  Afterward, the guests were treated to a cocktail hour in the garden, followed by a fantastic sit down dinner service.

Then it was time for the party to really begin.  Dj Randy took the stage and regaled guests with music selected by our happy couple. Nothing gets, and keeps, a party moving like the precision sounds of DJ Randy.  As the cake was served and the dancers began to slow down…there was no doubt that all in attendance had the time of their life.  And none more than the bride and groom themselves.  The night was a hit!

It was a distinct pleasure working with Dorothy and Jeremy to make their day so wonderful.  Congrats to the happy couple.

As the months turn into weeks and the weeks turn into days, the time remaining before a bride gets married shrinks at an exponential rate as the big day arrives.  There is always something on the “To Do” list that has to take priority.  Usually as things get pushed down the list, exercise gets pushed down the furthest at times.  Which in a way can makes things worse.  The Abbey Blog has been focusing for weeks now on things a bride to be can do to keep up a healthy fitness program on the road to her nuptials.  In those posts we have been focusing on different exercises, diets and regimes that will help you prepare.  But one thing that can get overlooked in regards fitness is Time Management.  Time Management can be crucial to the success or failure of any fitness program.  If enough time is not set aside for the program, it will fail.  But just setting aside time to exercise doesn’t equal success.  Proper time, the right time or quality time is critical.  A completely stressed out, hurried routine will not have the same benefit that a relaxed, enjoyed workout can provide.  In addition to that, the cool down time is not as effective because filled with worries of what needs to get done next.  And don’t even get me started with what stressed out sleep is like.

So having a good Time Management system in place can do wonders for your fitness program in helping you get the best out of what you do when you exercise.  Almost without exception, brides today are organized.  From Day Planners, to Google Calendars, to Smartphones…today’s women are organized.  But even with all those productivity apps on your phone, the amount to get done exceeds the time available.  That is where The Abbey comes in to help.  Not only will our consultants years of experience help, but those years of experience come with years of contacts and connections.  The San Diego wedding industry is massive and navigating it can be quite tricky.  We have a wide selection of vendors that we are proud to work with.  We are on a number of Venue’s Preferred Caterer Lists and are partners with The La Jolla Woman’s Club in beautiful historic La Jolla, California.  Another time saver and stress reducer…All Inclusive Wedding Packages.  The Abbey Catering & Event Design is the only San Diego company to offer a true All Inclusive Wedding Package.  With an Abbey Package, everything is covered.  The venue, food, beverages, photographer, videographer, flowers, music, coordination, officiant, limo….even the honeymoon at our luxury condo in Maui if desired.  We can make all the stress of meeting with dozens of people disappear.  And having a single source of contact can create a wealth of time for the more important things leading up to your wedding, like a fitness program.

Please feel free to contact any one of our wedding and event consultants here for more information.

The wedding day of this special couple was located at the bay front Coronado Community Center. There were 200 privileged guests which attended this marvelous event. Outside, on a luscious green lawn the couple said “I do” while a harpist was gently plucking peaceful tunes. The color scheme of this wedding was chocolate brown and purple, with the two colors creating an impeccable harmony inside the reception hall. The center pieces for the tables had branches of a Manzanita, with dangling  chains of crystal beads, some of which had candles that created a delicate ambiance which the guests enjoyed along with their entrées. White orchids added to the center pieces elegance and sense of bliss.
The main courses were presented as four separate gourmet stations scattered throughout the reception room to maintain a good flow of service and efficiency for the guests. A “Glamorous Slider Bar” was the first station and served up some scrumptious all Angus beef sliders supplied with a surplus of condiments. Another station had authentic Mexican cuisine including flat ironed “Carne Asada”, “Pollo Asada”, a papaya salad medley with organic greens, slivered almonds, Cotija cheese and topped with a citrus honey vinaigrette. To accommodate any desire and taste, an Oriental station was also presented with appetizing Buckwheat Soba noodles with a garlic soy sauce and pan roasted button mushrooms and Thai peppers all served in Chinese “To-Go” boxes. Last  but in no way least… the Mashed Potato Martini Bar.  Glass Martini glasses filled with garlic mashed potatoes hung from our unique Signature Abbey Martini Tree and  was a phenomenal success.
The clients left the reception with all of their expectations exceeded and created memories they will carry with them forever.  For more information about The Abbey create a spectacular event for you or to get details about the Nautilus Room at Coronado Community Center, click on over to our site here.
