The Abbey catered our wedding at Building 177 in liberty station. They were very responsive and easy to work with throughout the whole process. Our day of site lead was excellent and made sure everything went smoothly for our large (200 guests) wedding. Everyone raved about the food and the appetizers (Indian fusion flavors). We really enjoyed working with their team.

We had our wedding at the venue they own but I just had to reiterate how delicious the food was! We did the filet mignon and potatoes and stuffed chicken. People were coming up to us telling us how amazing it was! As the bride and groom, you want your guests to enjoy their food. I am so happy with the overall service and would do it all over again.

My wife and I hired the Abbey to provide catering and equipment rentals for our wedding in downtown San Diego and the day could not have turned out better. The food was delicious, the service was professional and classy, and we have been receiving rave reviews from our guests! In particular, our event captain Petr Trebin was fantastic - he is an absolute pro who ensured everything ran smoothly on the day of and took great care of us and our guests. We would happily hire the Abbey (and Petr!) for another event!

As part of the all-inclusive package with Abbey event design and catering we choose. Our wedding cake turned out a absolutely amazing. Before our big day we did the complimentary sample box tasting which was fun thank you so much Renato and Lauren who was very helpful and amazing to work with. I used Abbey Catering & Event Design for my destination wedding on 03/17/22 that I planned from Florida. 5 stars doesn't do this venue enough justice.
Our destination wedding in La Jolla, CA Turly luxurious and spectacular from start to finish. This venue was everything I could have asked for and more. Our event coordinator Petr was truly a gift sent from above. He made the stress of planning a wedding almost non existent. Everything we asked for, he delivered, walked us through every step of the way and treated us very well!
From decor to food and professional service this venue is everything you need to celebrate your special day. Our guest had an AMAZING time and many commented on how much they liked the venue. Also, Chuck thank you for your help I appreciate everything you have done to help us plan our wedding this far. Your AWESOME! We loved working with you! The entire staff of Abbey Catering IS AWESOME! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

First of all, I would like to give a HUGE shout out to Petr, our month of coordinator, he was everything for us. Always quick to respond, always available to help. On the day of the wedding he made everything happen so smoothly and handled our crazy family like a pro. He was ALWAYS thinking about us and our needs and keeping us on top of everything. Alex, the DJ was awesome, he had an amazing system that helped us have the music we wanted and he just picked up on the vibe of the wedding on the day of.
Our dance floor was always packed and it's because every song and every transition was on point and kept us wanting to dance. For catering, we took the taco buffet and the BYOA(alcohol) package. The food was really tasty (no complaints from anyone) and the drinks were made really well. The lines, despite how much our guests drink, were never too long.
For the entire company, the experience that we had was incredible. They were always responsive with every little question we had. They were extremely accommodating even through a pandemic! Every question we asked was answered (usually within hours of emailing) quickly and with detail. We never felt like we were unattended to and the crew made this a wonderful experience.

Abbey Catering & Events - We couldn't be more grateful and thrilled about our decision to use your services. From the start to end, the experience was seamless and so professional. Our guests raved about how good the food was - "the best wedding food they've ever had". Petr Trebin - our assigned coordinator just blew us away. Two weeks prior to the wedding as tensions and stress were building, we met with Petr, who covered and organized every single item you could imagine, lifted a massive burden off of our shoulders and gave us so much peace.
He stayed in lock step with us throughout the entire day. He made sure all of our provided items were properly placed, all of our bridal party was where they needed to be, & made sure my husband, myself and our guests were fed and taken care of through and through. Not to mention he's a professional photographer - photos attached were taken by Petr Trebin! What an absolute all star! Thank you x 10000

If there were 10 stars I would give it! Federico Tomas and everyone at The Abbey made our dream wedding a reality. They helped us navigate Covid, they ensured every detail was exactly how we wanted it and went over and above on service. First class all the way! Our guests loved the food, venue, service and ambiance created. We had our ceremony at the wedding bowl and reception at Darlington House.could not recommend more!

I cannot speak highly enough of Abbey Catering or our wedding coordinator, Federico! Our day was truly perfect, and the entire process leading up to it was so well organized and collaborative that I was able to be completely stress-free for my wedding and just sit back and enjoy the celebration! Thank you all for your hard work, preparation, flexibility, and mostly your love and care!

The Abbey Catering is absolutely the best in the wedding business in San Diego. We had the perfect wedding. Everything on the day of the event went exactly as planned. Better than my expectations, as I expected something wrong to happen. But everything went great! The entire Abbey management and staff are well trained, true professionals, and show that they care about making your wedding day the best it can be.
We had to postpone and reschedule a couple times due to the pandemic, but I'm glad Federico, Chuck, Leah, Michele were with us the whole way. Special shout out to Federico - our day of coordinator!

ABBEY CATERING AND WORKING WITH PETR TREBIN WAS INCREDIBLE! My husband and I couldn't have had a more wonderful experience! Every detail of our wedding was beyond anything we could've imagined. IT WAS PERFECT! So much more than we could've ever asked for. I brag about the people we worked with to everyone! It's almost hard to express in words how we truly truly feel.
Everything was so organized and flowed so smoothly, we even stayed pretty ON TIME with every moment we had planned (give or take a couple minutes)! Their food is amazing, their staff is incredible, their vendors are awesome, and their all-inclusive package options are so much fun! We highly highly recommend this company to anyone and everyone.

We got married at the La Jolla Woman's Club in August and Abbey Catering catered our beautiful, delicious dinner! We had a fusion Indian and American wedding, so we wanted the food to be fusion too. We chose 4 tray passed appetizers - chicken and waffles (so yummy!), sweet potato samosas (delicious and different from the usual boring samosas), bruschetta and my favorite - chicken sliders!
Our dinner was more Indian, and they pulled this off very well! To me, how the food looks is almost as important as it tastes, and the Abbey seems to really believe this too! I am so sad that we didn't get any pictures of the food, but I hope the catering team took some! And now about the team. I think a lot of the reason I give The Abbey 5 stars is Jack and Petr. Jack was our first introduction to the Abbey, we were inquiring about the Cuvier Club, and he told us that they are primarily caters, and went out of his way to show us other venues too!
This was just above and beyond his duties! Jack was great at figuring out a menu that would work for us, and also a price. He was always responsive to emails, and always cheerful and easy to talk to. I'm so glad that he worked with us throughout the planning!
Petr was assigned to us as our event captain, and he is amazing! He was always energetic, knew exactly what he was doing and managed the food perfectly.
He is so thoughtful that he gave us a to-go bag after the wedding because we hadn't really had much chance to eat! I
am so glad that he was so easy to work with, and especially that he got along so well with the venue manager and our wedding coordinator.
Overall, I highly recommend the Abbey Catering for your wedding!

The Abbey organized our wedding at the Darlington House earlier this month and they did an AMAZING job. My husband and I are very unorganized and forgetful people, and we were terrified about planning a wedding while simultaneously graduating and moving out of state. Our coordinator, Petr, saved the day. He was on top of everything and so encouraging.
He was truly fantastic- I can't imagine that another catering company could have pulled off a more beautiful wedding. Furthermore, we did the "all inclusive" package and the vendors that partner with the Abbey are also INCREDIBLE. The Abbey did all the communicating between them for us, making our lives a lot easier. The final product was phenomenal.

The Abbey Catering was a discovery that made the whole decision to have a "traditional" wedding worth it. From the initial consultation to being on top of the details shutting down the party, our experience with The Abbey Catering was beyond belief. Every vendor they suggested came through. The vendor coordination was seamless - everybody was professional and delivered an experience that made our wedding perfect.
I honestly thought there would be good and bad, and positives and negatives, and when looking back the day after, and now a couple of weeks later, I can honestly say that The Abbey Catering couldn't have done a better job in any area that they handled. Additionally, with anything else in life, you get what you pay for, and their value is evident; The Abbey Catering delivered the experience, but they also delivered it at a cost that was reasonable.
Our coordinator, Chuck, handled every aspect of the wedding with apparent ease, and we came to rely on his guidance and control knowing that he had our best interests, and the best interests of our guests at the forefront of his efforts. If you miss out on hiring them to run your event, you missed an opportunity to have the best people working to make your event everything you dreamed it would be. Additionally, you'll miss out on their professional, attentive staff, the chef's incredible food, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you spent the money in the right way!
