Grand Gimeno is a 30,000 square foot Spanish Colonial Revival venue in Old Towne Orange, California—steps from the historic district's antique shops and tree-lined plaza. Named after architect Harold Gimeno who designed the original structure, the space has been reimagined by Jay's Catering, a third-generation Orange County family whose story began in 1967.
The venue accommodates up to 250 seated guests or 600 for cocktail-style gatherings. Exchange vows beneath century-old olive trees. Host your reception in Grand Central, a hall with 30-foot vaulted ceilings and arched doorways. Two fireside rooms open onto a courtyard with a bubbling fountain. Two luxury suites—one for the bride, one for the groom—keep your entire day on-site.
The culinary experience is built into the architecture: a wood-fired pizza oven, a live fire station for Argentine asado, and a bar program that runs from craft cocktails to late-night bites. Weddings, galas, corporate dinners, milestone celebrations—if it calls for a table, we'll set it.
