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!

5.0

  • Starts at $1
  • Serves Poway, CA

Our business started back in '09 at local Farmer's Markets, and we have been grateful to expand ever since. Our team and family have built up a cozy brick and mortar in North Park, and a fast-paced location inside Liberty Public Market in Point Loma. San Diego is the best city in the world and we love the rapport we have built within the community. We look forward to continued growth as we spread our Aloha spirit to more venues and customers.

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Andrea and the catering team from Chris' Ono Grinds in North Park for our wedding in December 2023 in Solana Beach. From the beginning of our planning we knew we wanted delicious food for our guests and Andrea and her team delivered! She was involved in our planning process early, participated in video chats to figure out our requests and she went out to see the venue herself to make sure the plan was a good fit for our event. We received many compliments from our guests about the food (the spam musubi appetizers were a particular hit along with the kalbi entree) and no one left hungry! On the day itself we had great servers during set up and serving in the event, very professional and helpful throughout. We recommend anyone planning a big event to consider bringing in the delicious food from Chris' Ono Grinds

The quality of their work was truly outstanding - the presentation of the dishes was beautiful, and our guests raved about how delicious and filling the meal was, from the passed hors d'oeuvres to the entrees. We were blown away by the value we received, as the food was worth every penny. Of course, there were some unplanned moments and guests, all of which were quickly and professionally taken care of by TWTC whether it be an additional plate or serving. The tasting we did prior to the big day was also such a memorable experience, with the chef and event coordinator going above and beyond to make us feel special.

I cannot say enough amazing things about this team!! The buckboard catering team catered my wedding and they blew us all away!! Ashley was amazing with accommodating our budget, going through the options, hosting the tasting and holding my hand through the process. I had people coming up to me all night telling me how great the food was. They had great communicating with us throughout the process and even with our guests all night. They personally spoke to each guest with allergies and informed them of the best options to accommodate them. They even went out of their way to buy a new salad dressing for a guest with allergies during the event and gave her her own personal bottle to keep at her table. My coordination team was going to take care of cake cutting and our nacho bar but the Buckboard team insisted on taking it off of their hands and took a huge load off of their plates. I got great feedback from everyone about the friendly bartenders and their flexibility with signature drinks and the other options!! I highly recommend you hire them for your next event!
