Luxury Rainy Day Wedding
Madison and her bridesmaids got ready in the Powder Room while Sean and his groomsmen suited up in the Parlor at Grand Gimeno. Champagne was popped and gifts were exchanged while lasting memories were created between friends. Once both groups were ready, Madison and Sean headed out to the Courtyard for their first look as their wedding party watched from inside. A hug from behind signaled Sean to turn around, and standing before him in a beautiful lace wedding dress was his bride. The couple shared personalized vows, then were joined by their bridesmaids and groomsmen for group photos before lining up for ceremony.
Guests grabbed umbrellas and took a seat in the Olive Grove where white flowers and greenery decorated the ceremony space. Once everyone was in attendance, the wedding party made their entrances. In front of all their closest friends and family, Madison and Sean recited their vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.
Inside the Foyer, Classic Margarita and Lemon Drop signature drinks were being poured and Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons and Fig, Goat Cheese, and Mascarpone Tarts were tray passed for cocktail hour. While guests mixed and mingled, the bride and groom wandered around the venue for photos together as husband and wife. Upon their return, it was time for the reception.
Floral-filled tables topped with beautiful plates and custom printed menus outlined a black and white checkered dance floor in the middle of the room. The newlyweds made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their head table. Our Ultimate Caesar Salad was served while guests shared toasts, followed by Cabernet Braised Short Ribs and Chicken Sonoma with Roasted Broccolini and Gourmet Mashed Potatoes. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Lauren. After dinner, Sean and Madison cut into their wedding cake and invited guests to indulge in our Italian Dessert Station with a collection of Fresh Fruit Tarts, Chocolate Dipped Cannoli, Florentine Cookies, Meyer Lemon Cheesecake Bars, and Mini Italiano Tiramisu Cupcakes. The evening ended with everyone out on the dance floor showing off their best dance moves and wishing the bride and groom well.
