Classic White Floral and Greenery Wedding at A Spanish Revival Wedding Venue in Old Towne Orange

Guests entered Grand Gimeno and found a seat inside for Lisa and Javier’s wedding while the wedding party finished getting ready and posing for pre-ceremony photos inside the Parlor and Powder Room. White roses and greenery were arranged at the back and front of the aisle and wrought iron chandeliers hung above. Once everyone was seated, the wedding party made their entrances down the aisle ending with Lisa. Together in front of all their closest friends and loving family, Lisa and Javier read handwritten vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Wood-Fired Neapolitan and Grilled Chicken and Pesto Pizzas awaited guests in the Olive Grove along with tray passed Crab Cakes, Fig, Goat Cheese and Mascarpone Tarts, and Chicken Flautas and Old Fashioned and Ranch Water signature drinks poured at the bar. Everyone mixed and mingled while the newlyweds posed for romantics around the wedding venue, and upon their return, it was time for the reception.

Tables topped with white and green floral centerpieces surrounded a wooden dance floor in the middle of the Olive Grove for an al fresco dinner reception. Lisa and Javier made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. Tequila Lime Chicken, Tri-Tip Carvery, Tortellini with Creamy Pesto, Red Roasted Garlic Potatoes, Green Beans, and Tangerine and Pecan Salad was served while toasts were shared. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Savannah. After dinner, the couple cut into our Lemon Blueberry Cake and our Old Fashioned Cookie Assortment was tray passed to guests for a sweet treat. The evening ended with lots of dancing out on the dance floor and photos taken in the photo booth to commemorate the special day.
