5.0

  • Serves Pala, CA

Abbey Catering has been simplifying events and delivering heritage hospitality in San Diego since 2000. We provide complete, all-inclusive packages that make planning weddings, private parties, and corporate events truly stress-free. Our customizable packages come with everything from abundant menus and professional bartending to décor, entertainment, and on-the-day coordination. Choose from different tiers to meet your needs and budget, then personalize with your choice of appetizers, entrees, and details. Contact Abbey Catering today to discover why we're one of San Diego's most trusted catering companies.

Words truly cannot express how happy we were with Abbey Catering for both our wedding coordination and catering. From the very beginning, Will Konecki guided us through the overwhelming process of selecting a caterer/coordinator with patience, kindness, and so much support. Once we signed our contract, Petr Trebin became our main point of contact, and he was absolutely incredible—always quick to respond, proactive, and reassuring every step of the way. Our wedding day (8/31/25) was nothing short of perfect, and I still can’t believe how flawlessly everything came together. The Abbey team worked seamlessly behind the scenes, and we received endless compliments from our guests about how delicious the food was and how smoothly the day flowed. On top of it all, Petr went above and beyond by taking candid photos throughout the day and surprising us with 60 images the very next morning. Seeing those photos before even getting a sneak peek from our professional photographers (Deborah Shields and Miranda Smith, who were also wonderful to work with) was such a special and unexpected gift. Abbey’s professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made our day unforgettable. Their five-star reputation is 100% deserved, and we could not recommend them more highly. If you are lucky enough to have Abbey Catering as part of your wedding, you will be in the very best hands.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chris' Ono Grinds Island Grill was our number one choice from our available options for our wedding reception @ The Lane, San Diego. We love hawaiian food, and the menu options they gave us were perfect for our 250 guests! Even when we decided to add on a few more items about a month or so before the wedding, they were very communicative and helpful in making that work for us. The food and service itself were fantastic. We had a number of guests come up to us saying how much they enjoyed the food. And of course, they were kind enough to pack my wife and I some extra food at the end of night. We can't thank them enough, and would definitely recommend them to other wedding couples!

Brian and Alexa met in 2016 when he was pursuing his dream operating a café in North Park. This venture was called Grinds & Vine Coffee Bar, where the community was the most important factor of his establishment. One day Alexa came in as a guest to study and have some coffee. She was quickly mesmerized by the PB&J sandwich and their delicious cold brew options. They shared some great conversations about food and life then quickly became friends, which then blossomed into something more. Who would have ever thought a PB&J, a cold brew and a conversation would turn into love and marriage.

First off, the food is THE best. Our guest have been raving about the appetizers and food all week post wedding. Brian is the best chef and so helpful when choosing a menu. He’s on top of it and Alexa is just as awesome! The staff were always checking in on us making sure we were fed and if we needed anything.

Flame and Flavor 

5.0

  • Serves Pala, CA

Hi, I'm Emma! Growing up in a household of amazing Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine cooks, I fell in love with the flavors and traditions. But dining out often left me disappointed by the lack of authenticity and quality. As a pastry chef, my passion for these flavors only grew stronger. I started Flame & Flavor to share my vision, using fresh ingredients and premium meats to craft delicious dishes that bring people together. Our food is made with love, and it shows.

Flame and Flavor provided top-notch catering for our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was very easy and smooth, which helped make everything run seamlessly. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, from the delicious food to the impeccable service. The chicken was extremely tender, and the beef was also perfectly cooked. Everything was thoughtfully seasoned and tasted incredible. We received so many compliments from our guests on the quality of the catering. Flame and Flavor truly contributed to making our special day unforgettable.

Buckboard Catering and Events 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Pala, CA

Established in 1986. Buckboard Catering and Events was established in May of 1986 and is one of the oldest catering companies in San Diego. The business has expanded to include a full range of farm-to-fork locally sourced food options to extensive culinary catering for any occasion or experience. A complete inventory of rental items for any size event is also available.

We could not have been happier with the service we received from Buckboard as the catering provider for our wedding. Right from the initial meeting Ashley, (Buckboard’s sales manager) gave us a personalized introduction and very friendly tasting. It was clear from this initial interaction that she cared more about our experience and less about just becoming one of their customers. The food was/is absolutely delicious. Every single item was cooked perfectly, and it was clear from the initial tasting that their chefs and cooks take genuine pride in cooking high quality meals that do not come off as “mass produced” like a number of other caterers in the area. We have lost count of the number of guests who told us during and after the meal that it was by far the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding, and this is reflective of the company as a whole. Ashley and JP (the Chief Operating Officer) were both present during the planning process, and worked with us directly to determine a menu that would be both wonderful for the guests as well as within our budget. When dietary restrictions were presented, Ashley and her team made the accommodations easy and care free, and provided options that were also delicious. She and her staff were so friendly and professional on the day-of that a number of guests went out of their way to comment on the crew. We cannot rave enough about the services we received from Buckboard Catering. To make matters better they also operate a full-time restaurant in El Cajon, which we plan on frequenting regularly when visiting San Diego. For prospective couples planning a wedding, choosing Buckboard as your caterer will not only put your mind at ease knowing the quality of service you will be receiving, but you and your guests will be absolutely thrilled with the meal you get to enjoy.
