Surrounded by live greenery from top to bottom and the open air makes this venue a dreamscape for weddings. We loved their black-tie aesthetic and their menu was full of sophisticated yet approachable food, such as our beef wellingtons and seared ahi tuna on wonton. PHOTO CREDIT: BE Studios, @bestudios_sd

Best day of our lives!

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.
Best day of my life!

I don't even know where to begin. From the beginning, Troy Sand was extremely responsive and helpful with all my questions regarding catering and how to help narrow down my decision on who to book. The bundle package made it a no brainer, however I felt reassured the whole way. Throughout the planning process, Abbey took care of us. Petr Trebin was assigned as our coordinator, and I cannot say enough how much peace of mind this provided me. He paid attention to every little detail, offered his opinions/recommendations when I felt uncertain, answered questions I didn't even know that I had - and this was just the planning process. On the actual wedding day (I got married at Scripps Seaside Forum), he went above and beyond. And I know many people use this phrase, but I need to say Petr actually did. There were several last minute change ups that he had to navigate (for example, I forgot to let him know we would be doing the Hora since it was a half Jewish wedding. We didn't have the chairs to do this, so he told me he would see what he would do. Well, he found the chairs, he spoke with our DJ (Dax) and we did the Hora and it was perfect.), and my rowdy wedding party did a great job with the ceremony all because of Petr's helpful instruction. He made the entire day and evening run SO smoothly and honestly it was the best day of my life. I recommend every bride to at least strongly consider Abbey Catering for their wedding needs - and do the bundle package! The vendors I worked with were all amazing but I will do separate reviews for them as well. Before I forget, the food was also incredible. All of my guests were raving about how good the food was throughout the weekend, so 10/10 there as well. Service was also perfect, everyone was on point and everyone had a smile! I wish I remembered the names of everyone who worked my wedding, because every single person on staff helped make the day a giant success. One last HUGE thank you Petr, Troy, and the entire Abbey crew for making my day perfect!

Abbey Catering & Events did a fantastic job throughout our entire wedding journey, including during the event when unforeseen circumstances arose. Petr in particular was such an amazing planner and we would thoroughly recommend using specifically him again. He is responsive, and singlehandedly managed to make the event happen as my wife had always dreamed of (her words not mine).

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience, Jayce! Once again, congratulations to you and Yeonji! We love hearing how our coordinators (shout out to Petr!) were able to make your wedding journey so special, even when unexpected situations arise--Tide Pens & Club Soda work wonders! We're thrilled to have been a part of your big day and sincerely appreciate your recommendation. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness! Love, Abbey Catering & Team

We are still on cloud nine after our wedding at the San Diego Botanic Garden in Encinitas, and we owe so much of that joy to Abbey Catering & Event Design. They were simply phenomenal from day one! When we first inquired, Will was great at explaining all of the packages they provide and answering any questions we had. After we signed, we were assigned to Petr Trebin our amazing wedding coordinator!! Petr truly brought our vision to life and we are SO thankful for all of the work he did to make it our dream wedding! Petr made the time leading up to our wedding day and the actual day so seamless! He managed the timeline, coordinated with all of the vendors, and beautifully set up our welcome table and reception tables! He also made sure to have apps and drinks set aside for us after the ceremony to enjoy! He truly thinks of everything and is the best! The food was absolutely incredible and a major highlight for both us and our guests. We chose the dual entrée of panko-herb crusted chicken and NY striploin, which were both flavorful and beautifully plated. During cocktail hour, guests raved about the tray-passed appetizers and loved our open bar! David the event captain, and their team made it a great experience for our guests. We had our cake and cupcakes included in the package through Sugar Bear Provisions and our guests were raving about how delicious this was! The florals that were included in the package from Emerald & Ivy were breathtaking from the ceremony arch to the bouquet and reception tables! They were also flexible with us providing our own vases since we had specific vases we wanted to use, which tied perfectly with the gold flatware and charger plates we upgraded to! Our DJ Brian who was included in the package through the wedding entertainment collective was awesome! He kept the energy high, and the music was a perfect blend of our favorite styles and totally reflected our personalities as a couple! We also opted to include photography & videography in our package and both Deb and Tareq were fabulous to work with! We love being able to look back on our video and photos that takes us right back to our day. Every vendor included in the their all-inclusive package through The Abbey was top-tier, and we are so grateful to the entire team for making our wedding day feel effortless, beautiful, and completely us! If you're planning a wedding in San Diego, we highly recommend them! They truly are wonderful to work with!

Thank you for sharing your experience and for recommending us to others planning their big day. Wishing you all the best in your new journey together!
