Black and White Indoor Wedding Reception with Live Band at Grand Gimeno in Orange County

Maddy and Matthew got ready in the Grand Gimeno Parlor and Powder Room then stepped out into the Foyer for their first look. A tap on the shoulder turned Matthew around to see his beautiful bride standing before him in a lace wedding dress. Smiles and compliments were shared during the intimate moment. The couple posed for photos around the venue together and with their wedding party before heading to a nearby church for their wedding ceremony.

After tying the knot, everyone met back at Grand Gimeno for cocktail hour. Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons and Caprese Skewers were tray passed while Wood-Fired Spicy Diavola, Neapolitan, and Sweet & Salty Pancetta Pizzas were cut and served. To wash it all down, guests lined up at the bar for Whiskey Sour and Skinny Margarita signature drinks. Everyone mixed and mingled until it was time to head inside for the reception.

Inside, tables topped with white floral centerpieces and gold charger plates bordered a black and white checkered dance floor. A stage with live band filled the room with music as guests found their seats. Once everyone was seated, the newlyweds made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, and took a seat at their head table. Toasts were shared and Classic Filet Mignon and Chicken Santorini with Haricot Verts, Mashed Potatoes, and Pear and Almond Salad were served. After dinner, the couple cut into their wedding cake and invited guests to indulge in a piece. The evening ended with everyone out on the dance floor showing off their best moves.
