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

We are beyond grateful to Petr, our incredible coordinator, and the entire Abbey Catering team for everything they did to make our wedding day truly unforgettable! From our very first meeting, Petr brought such warmth, professionalism, and genuine care to the planning process. He made every step feel seamless and joyful, and we always felt supported and in the best hands. Come wedding day, everything came together more perfectly than we could have imagined—it was truly a dream come true. The level of care and attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the day, from the beautifully set tables to the impeccable service. The food was absolutely wonderful—hors d'oeuvres to the dinner to our cake! The service was flawless, the atmosphere magical, and the overall experience beyond what we could have hoped for. We’ve received so many compliments from our guests, and we owe that to Petr and every vendor who worked together to bring our vision to life. Thank you for going above and beyond to create such a special and meaningful celebration, we will cherish it forever!
So much love for Abbey!

We are incredibly appreciative and thankful for Abbey Catering! From the minute we inquired, we were met with nothing but warmth, professionalism and genuine thoughtfulness. We inquired with many companies for our wedding, and right off the bat, I knew Abbey was the way to go. From the early stages of helping us select our perfect package, to the food tasting and logistics, Abbey made our wedding absolutely perfect. It truly felt like they were family - it was a 10/10 experience. Not to mention, the food was INCREDIBLE, and our guests raved about the food for weeks after. They even went the extra mile to send us home with packaged leftovers and other goodies. Huge shoutout to Troy, Chuck and David who made our experience so wonderful. Thank you so much! -the Farleys (all photos by @daniicajoy)
Best Choice hands down !

No one ever tells you just how stressful and complex planning your wedding can be. My Wife and I quickly found this out earlier in the year as we prepared for our special day. Fortunately for us we had Abbey Catering and Events in our corner! From the moment that we hit the ground running, Abbey Catering was with us every step of the way. From our first fantastic contact with Will, to locking in our awesome DJ Abel, to Megan and Chuck doing just a stellar job planning and coordinating the entire event A-Z, our Gorgeous wedding day was nothing short of phenomenal. Not only were we blown away by the clear and helpful communication, but this team absolutely knows what they are doing in their industry and it shows in their kindness, Care and consideration and attention to detail! They even stepped in to save the day when our initial reception venue had complications and we had to relocate. The food was so delicious, the bar was amazing and kept the party going, and the music and event space truly blew any of our expectations out of the water. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so incredibly grateful for the team at Abby catering and would highly recommend them to any couples looking for an event company to handle such an important day. It’s no secret that there are plenty of options to choose from especially in Southern California when it comes to catering and event planning, but hands-down, Abby catering and events are the folks you should go with. 10/10 Stars! Tell them we sent you! Thank you guys !
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.
