October Wedding at Grand Gimeno

Amy and Chris got ready inside the Powder Room and Parlor at Grand Gimeno, then met in the Olive Grove for their first look. A tap on the shoulder turned Chris around to see his beautiful bride standing before him. Smiles immediately filled both their faces and sweet compliments were exchanged. After, their bridesmaids and groomsmen joined them for group photos. The group posed together creating memories that would last a lifetime, and once guests began arriving, they lined up for the ceremony.

Guests entered the Olive Grove, signed Chris and Amy’s guest book, then took a seat. Light pink and peach flowers lined the aisle and string lights hung overhead. Once everyone was in attendance, the wedding party made their entrances ending with Amy. Together in front of all their closest friends and family, Chris and Amy read personalized vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Wood-Fired Neapolitan and Meat Lovers Pizzas were freshly sliced while Black Bean and Sweet Potato Empanadas and Cuban Papas Rellenas were tray passed to hungry guests. The bar served up Kentucky Mule and Spicy Margarita signature cocktails and everyone mixed and mingled and made sure to pose for a photo with the newlyweds. Just as the sun set, everyone was invited inside for reception.

Tables were topped with fresh floral centerpieces and custom printed menus. Amy and Chris made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. Toasts were shared while guests enjoyed Chicken Fajitas, Barbacoa Shredded Beef, Cheese Enchiladas, Spanish Rice, Corn Tortillas, and Ensalada Las Mesas. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Brittany. After dinner, everyone was invited to enjoy our Grand Coffee and Donut Station for dessert. The evening ended with everyone out on the dance floor showing off their best moves.
