Pastel Grand Gimeno with Surprise DJ Gryffin Appearance

Sandy met Christopher in the Grand Gimeno Courtyard for their first look. With the go from their photographer, Christopher turned around to see his beautiful bride standing before him in an off-the-shoulder wedding dress. Sweet compliments were shared between the couple, then they were joined by their wedding party. The bridesmaids were dressed in pastels and the groomsmen wore black suits. Together the group smiled for the camera creating lasting memories for years to come, then lined up for the ceremony.

Guests entered the Olive Grove, signed the bride and groom’s guest book, then took a seat. Colorful floral arrangements marked the back and front of the aisle setting the scene. Music cued up and the wedding party made their entrances ending with Sandy. Together in front of their family and friends, Sandy and Christopher read handwritten vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons and Chilled Shrimp Skewers were tray passed around the Olive Grove while Wood-Fired Neapolitan and Classic BBQ Chicken Pizzas were being sliced fresh from the pizza oven. The bar was serving up the newlywed’s signature drinks, a Paloma and Old Fashioned, along with beer and wine. Guests mixed and mingled around the fire pit and fireplace where a tan lounge offered extra seating. As the sun began to set, everyone headed inside for reception.

Tables were topped with fresh floral centerpieces, candles, and fun table numbers. The bride and groom made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, and took a seat at their sweetheart table. Zucchini Lime Chicken, Tri-Tip Carvery, Tortellini with Creamy Pesto, Mashed Potatoes, Fresh Vegetable Medley, and Tangerine and Pecan Salad was served while family and friends shared toasts. The dinner menu was selected by the Sandy and Christopher with help from our event specialist Patti. After dinner, everyone hit the dance floor, and a surprise announcement was made. DJ Gryffin randomly selected Christopher and Sandy for a surprise appearance at their wedding. The couple was completely shocked and began cheering with their guests as soon as he came out. Gryffin performed a few songs, gave the newlyweds some merch, then wished the bride and groom well and said his goodbyes. On a high from all the excitement, the newlyweds cut into their wedding cake and invited all their guests to indulge in our Taste of Asia Dessert Station with a collection of Yuzu-Mango Tarts, Ube Crinkle Cookies, Pandan Cupcakes, Café Sua da Macarons, and Golden Milk Flan with Chai Whipped Cream. The evening ended with everyone dancing on the dance floor and many well wishes shared with Christopher and Sandy.
