Dreamy All White Wedding at Grand Gimeno

September 25, 2024

Reception hall viewed through an arched doorway

Renagrace and her bridesmaids sipped on champagne and got ready inside the Powder Room at Grand Gimeno while Jimmy and his groomsmen suited up in the Parlor. Once both groups were fully ready, the bride and groom met outside in the front Courtyard for their first look while the wedding party watched through the suite windows from the sidelines. As soon as Jimmy turned around to see his beautiful bride standing before him in a lace wedding gown, the waterworks began. The couple shed happy tears, shared sweet compliments, and posed together before being joined by the rest of their party. From the Foyer to the Olive Grove, the wedding party smiled for the camera until it was time to line up for the ceremony.

Guests arrived in the Olive Grove, signed Renagrace and Jimmy’s guest book, grabbed a parasol, and took a seat. White floral arrangements marked the aisle, and a floral arch stood tall at the front. Once everyone was in attendance, the wedding party made their entrances ending with Renagrace. In front of all their closest friends and family, the bride and groom read personalized vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons, Crab Cakes, and Lemon Parmesan Artichoke Hearts made their rounds while the bar served up the newlywed’s signature drinks, a Paloma and Old Fashioned for cocktail hour. Everyone mixed and mingled until it was time for the reception. Guests grabbed a glass of champagne and checked the seating chart display, then headed inside.

Inside, soft white fabric draped from table to table creating a romantic and dreamy space. White floral centerpieces topped each table and were accompanied by tall candlesticks and travertine table numbers. The newlyweds made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. Toasts were shared and Chicken Marsala, Filet Mignon Carvery, Tortellini with Creamy Pesto, Mashed Potatoes, Fresh Vegetable Medley, and Caesar Salad was served. To end the meal on a sweet note, the bride and groom cut into their two-tiered white wedding cake with strawberry creme filling and invited their guests to indulge in our Classic Dessert Station with a collection of Raspberry Chocolate Decadence Cakes, Fresh Fruit Tarts, Vanilla Bean Chocolate Eclairs, Mango and Passion Fruit Macarons, and French Apple Tarts. After the meal, everyone headed out to the dance floor to show off their best moves. The evening ended with an In-N-Out late night snack and a celebratory silver streamer send off in an uproar of cheers for Renagrace and Jimmy.
