Neutral Blush Grand Gimeno Wedding

Reception tables beneath the bright wood-beamed ceiling

Nola and Andrew met in Grand Gimeno’s Foyer for their first look on the afternoon of their wedding. A tap on the shoulder turned Andrew around to see his beautiful wife standing before him in a sparkly wedding dress. Smiles immediately filled their faces and sweet compliments were exchanged as their wedding party watched from the sidelines. After, everyone lined up for the ceremony and guests began arriving.

In the Olive Grove, white and pink flowers decorated the ceremony space. As soon as everyone was in attendance, the wedding party made their entrances ending with Nola. In front of all their family and friends, Nola and Andrew read handwritten vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Wood-Fired Sweet and Salty Pancetta Pizza and Meat Lovers Pizza were sliced and served during cocktail hour while Filet and Wild Mushrooms and Crab Cakes made their rounds. The bar served up the newlywed’s signature drinks, a Hawaiian Mule and New York Sour, and everyone mixed and mingled until it was time to head inside for dinner and dancing.

Reception tables were topped with tall taupe candles and floral bud vases. Once everyone was seated, Andrew and Nola made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, and took a seat at their sweetheart table. Chicken Marsala, Tri-Tip Carvery, Vegetarian Rotolo Bolzano, Red Roasted Garlic Potatoes, and Pear and Walnut Salad was served while guests shared toasts. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Lauren. After dinner, the bride and groom cut into their marble wedding cake with cappuccino 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. The evening ended with everyone out on the dance floor showing off their best moves and sharing a dance or two with the newlyweds.
