Sage Green Grand Gimeno Wedding

Sage Green Grand Gimeno Wedding

Reception tables beneath wooden beams and tall windows.

Crysta and her bridesmaids got ready inside the Powder Room while Daniel and his groomsmen suited up in the Parlor. With wedding dress and suit on, the bride and groom met in Grand Gimeno’s Courtyard for their first look. A tap on the shoulder turned Daniel around to see his beautiful bride standing before him in a lace gown. The couple shared sweet compliments while their wedding party watched with heart eyes from the sidelines. After, the bridesmaids and groomsmen joined Daniel and Crysta for group pictures, then lined up for the ceremony.

Guests entered the Olive Grove, signed the bride and groom’s guest book, then took a seat. White floral arrangements marked the aisle and matching flowers decorated a circular arch backdrop ahead. Once everyone was seated, the music cued up and the wedding party made their entrances. In front of their closest friends and loving family, Daniel and Crysta read their vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Mini Ahi Tacos, Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons, and Fig, Goat Cheese, and Mascarpone Tarts made their way around the Olive Grove for cocktail hour while the bar served the newlywed’s signature drinks, a Moscow Mule and Old Fashioned. Guests mixed and mingled while Daniel and Crysta posed for photos as husband and wife around the venue. Upon their return, everyone headed inside for reception.

Inside, tables were topped with sage green runners and fresh florals. Crysta and Daniel made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, and took a seat at their sweetheart table. Summer Berry Salad was served followed by Zucchini Lime Chicken and Honey Ginger Glazed Salmon with Roasted Broccolini and Gourmet Mashed Potatoes while guests shared toasts. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Patti. After dinner, the newlyweds cut into their lemon cake and invited their guests to indulge in a slice for dessert. The evening ended with fun games and lots of dancing out on the dance floor.
