Grand Gimeno is a 30,000 square foot Spanish Colonial wedding venue located in Old Towne Orange. While the coastline has its resorts and the hills have their ranches, Grand Gimeno offers something different: original architecture, Mediterranean landscaping, and a walkable downtown setting that feels more like a European village than Southern California making it one of the most distinctive wedding venues in Orange County. The venue spans across indoor and outdoor settings designed for weddings of up to 250 seated guests or 600 for cocktail-style celebrations. Exchange vows in the Olive Grove beneath mature olive trees and host your reception in Grand Central, a dramatic banquet hall with 30-foot vaulted ceilings, arched doorways, and handcrafted tile. Two fireside pre-function rooms and two luxury getting-ready suites keep your entire day on-site.
Centrally located in Orange County, the venue is 20 minutes from Newport Beach, 15 from Anaheim and the John Wayne Airport, and 10 from Irvine. The surrounding neighborhood offers dozens of hotels, from boutique stays in Old Towne to familiar chains nearby.Grand
Gimeno is designed and operated by Jay's Catering, a third-generation Orange County family business founded in 1967. The venue and culinary experience are inseparable: a wood-fired pizza oven, a live fire station for an Argentinian asado, and a bar program built around your vision.
