Luxurious Grand Gimeno Wedding with Live Band

Lindsay and her bridesmaids got ready inside the Powder Room while Christopher and his groomsmen suited up in the Parlor at Grand Gimeno. As each group finished primping and pampering, they headed out with the photographer for group photos. The groomsmen were dressed in classic black suits and posed for pictures in the Olive Grove, then the girls stepped out in the Foyer. Lindsay wore a long veil to complement her gown and the bridesmaids wore shades of green. Lastly, the bride and groom shared a first touch filled with love and laughter before lining up for ceremony.

Guests entered the Olive Grove, signed Christopher and Lindsay’s guest book, then took a seat on either side of the floral-lined aisle. Matching flowers decorated a cross that stood tall as the ceremony backdrop. Once everyone was in attendance, live music cued up and the wedding party made their entrances ending with Lindsay. The bride and groom were all smiles as they were joined together at the head of the aisle. In front of all their closest friends and family, the bride and groom recited vows, broke bread, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Crab Cakes, Caprese Skewers, and Thai Chicken Spring Rolls made their way around the Olive Grove for cocktail hour and beer, wine, and champagne were served at the bar. The newlyweds snuck away for romantics while guests mixed and mingled, and just as the sun began to set, everyone headed inside for reception.

Tables were topped with white floral centerpieces, printed menus, green accents, and modern table numbers. Lindsay and Christopher made their grand entrance, shared their first dance on a checkered dance floor, and took a seat. Pear and Walnut Salad was served while guests shared toasts, then Cabernet Braised Short Ribs and Roasted Atlantic Salmon Fillet with Gourmet Mashed Potatoes and Roasted Broccolini followed. The menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Casey. After toasts, the newlyweds cut into their wedding cake and invited guests to indulge in a slice. The evening ended with everyone out on the dance floor showing off their best dance moves while a live band kept the energy alive.
