Beneath mature olive trees brought over from Europe sits the ceremony space. Dappled light filters through a canopy of trees. The setting feels both charmingly ancient and intimate, even with 250 guests. Most couples face their guests toward the trees, framing the moment against gnarled trunks and silver-green leaves. Beyond the ceremony, the property offers outdoor space for cocktail hour. Guests move naturally between shaded alcoves, open-air seating, and optional live-action food stations. The transition from outdoor ceremony to indoor reception, or fully al fresco dining, is seamless. Orange County rarely surprises, but when it does, Grand Gimeno has you covered. The indoor reception hall accommodates full ceremonies if needed. You're not gambling on a tent due to rain. The Spanish Colonial architecture works just as well inside as out.
