The Abbey Catering made our wedding day absolutely perfect from start to finish.

Our package included almost everything — catering, rentals, florals, DJ, photo/video, photobooth, officiant, coordination, and more — and every single vendor exceeded expectations. The food was phenomenal — we’re still hearing guests rave about how delicious it was! The floral arrangements were breathtaking and exactly the orangey-peach tones I envisioned, the rentals looked so elegant and cohesive, and the entire day flowed flawlessly. A huge shout-out to our coordinator, Petr! He went above and beyond every step of the way. From the planning process to the final send-off, he kept everything organized, calm, and perfectly timed. He took my vision and decor and truly brought it to life — I couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator. Another big shout-out to our photo/video team led by Chris Wood. They were professional, kind, and so intentional with every shot. They made us feel relaxed in front of the camera, captured every emotion beautifully, and I already know the photos and video will let us relive our day forever. The Abbey truly made it possible for us to have the wedding of our dreams without the stress of searching for multiple reputable vendors. Their professionalism, communication, and attention to detail were unmatched. Thank you to The Abbey team and all of the amazing vendors who made October 26, 2025, at The Darlington House the best day of our lives. It was pure magic!

    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.

    Off the Vine Dining was recommended to me by a friend and it was the best rec I have ever received. OVD catered our wedding and served us possibly the best chicken I’ve ever had in my life, along with every other food item that night. Even the dessert was delicious, every ingredient was real and homemade, even the whip cream. Every piece of food served to us was made by hand and it tasted as such. I never expect to eat a lot when I attend a catered event, let alone an event I throw because I have a sensitive stomach. But I was able to eat everything and go back for seconds. If you’re looking for kind, honest and talented people to cater any event you’re having, don’t look anywhere else but Off the Vine Dining! Take a chance in this husband and wife team and give them a call and let the rest be history!

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!

    I had my first shot at managing a sushi restaurant when I took over an empty section of the family restaurant and introduced sushi to my customers. It was a challenge that I will never regret accepting. It was fun, a lot of fun! I had the opportunity to work with some really talented and creative chefs. I quickly learned that it’s not just about having fresh fish anymore. Sushi dining has transformed into a culture. A culture built by imagination and creativity. With the help of GD and the support of my family, I took all that experience and fused it with my imagination and created Yooshi Sushi Catering and Event Production.
