Traditional Grand Gimeno Wedding
Graciela and her bridesmaids got ready inside the Powder Room while Shane and his groomsmen suited up in the Parlor. After popping champagne, pampering, and portraits, the bride and groom shared their first touch in Grand Gimeno’s Foyer. Sweet words were exchanged while holding hands and smiles filled their faces. After the intimate moment, the wedding party lined up for ceremony.
Guests entered the Olive Grove, signed Shane and Graciela’s guest book, then took a seat. Fresh flowers lined the aisle and a cross stood tall at the head. Once everyone was in attendance, the wedding party made their entrances ending with Graciela. Together in front of all their closest friends and family, the bride and groom recited vows, broke bread, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.
During cocktail hour, the newlyweds read personalized vows to each other inside the Powder Room and snacked on Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons and Thai Chicken Spring Rolls hors d’oeuvres. Meanwhile, guests mingled outside while also enjoying hors d’oeuvres and Kentucky Mule and Skinny Margarita signature drinks. After their personal vows, the bride and groom posed around the venue for newlywed romantics, then invited everyone inside for dinner.
Inside, tables were topped with floral centerpieces and candlesticks. Shane and Graciela made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat. Tequila Lime Chicken, Tortellini with Creamy Pesto, Mashed Potatoes, Tri-Tip Carvery, Green Beans, and Roasted Golden Beet Salad was served. The menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Brittany. While everyone enjoyed dinner, family and friends stood to share toasts. After, the cake was cut and our Classic Dessert Station with an assortment of Raspberry Chocolate Decadence Cakes, Fresh Fruit Tarts, Vanilla Bean Chocolate Eclairs, Mango and Passion Fruit Macrons, and French Apple Tarts was out on display for all to indulge in. The evening ended with plenty of dancing and a cheerful send off for the bride and groom.
