Grand Gimeno Reception Wedding Celebration

Grand Gimeno Reception Wedding Celebration

Bettina and Gino got ready at Grand Gimeno, tied the knot at their church, then headed back to Grand Gimeno with all their guests to continue the celebration at cocktail hour. Competitive games of Jenga, Connect4, and cornhole were played while Crab Cakes, Beef Picadillo Empanadas, and Chicken Jalapeno Empanadas were tray passed around the Olive Grove. The pizza oven was pumping out Wood-Fired Neapolitan and Alfredo Bianca Pizzas for hungry guests and the bar was serving up the newlywed’s signature dinks, an Old Fashioned and Moscow Mule. Everyone mixed, mingled, and posed for photos with the bride and groom until it was time to head inside for reception.

Tables were topped with fresh floral bud vases and printed menus. Bettina and Gino made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. BBQ Boneless Chicken, Sliced Beef Brisket, Mashed Potatoes, Panko Crusted Mac n Cheese, Vegetarian Rotolo Bolzano, Caesar Salad, and Warm Skillet Corn Bread was served while family and friends shared toasts. After dinner, the bride and groom cut into their personal wedding cake and invited guests to indulge in something sweet for dessert. The evening ended with an outfit change for Bettina and everyone out on the dance floor showing off their best moves.
